The Eagle's Shadow: A Response

I truly believe that there is a significant difference between America and Americans. It is the inability to understand these differences that have created confusion and misunderstanding among the American people. As an empire, America stretches forth to dominate all aspects of the world from marketing schemes to sell products overseas, to creating "democracy" abroad. It is this tendency, to stick America's arrogant nose into other's business, that leads to a feeling of anger from other countries. Furthermore, the hypocritical tendencies of the government and practice of serving only America, has led to widespread displeasure. Backed by a media run by corporations, the American people have been blinded by government propaganda who are serving the rich corporations that hold an immense amount of power. I have been frustrated in the vague way the news and other media outlets have been sharing America's actions overseas. I feel that growing up under the American education system, I have been cheated out of differing viewpoints regarding America's hand in world affairs and the large role it is playing in the global market. I am afraid that globalization is deteriorating the once brilliant array of culture found in other countries.
Now, the American people are another story. I believe that the American people are proud, creative, and strong. The diversity and mixture of many different cultures is one of the most important aspects of American life.
