@Abigail Boots The media definitely divides us, but it’s more a side effect of the business model than intentional. Cable news is a great example. There just aren’t enough stories for true 24/7 reporting, so they resort to pundits and pandering to fill time and keep people watching. When CNN, MSNBC and FOX NEWS appeal to the audience’s political biases, the filler material practically writes itself. Of course, cable news bias is nothing compared to the internet, and particularly social media. Now, algorithms can determine exactly the political content that most appeals to you and force feed it to you so you keep viewing the ads it comes with. Look, there is no conspiracy against the country by the media against our country. In fact, we have the free market to thank for dissolution of common understanding we now face. The cause of this problem is the tragic reality that what makes us angry also makes us click.

Interesting answers, and even more interesting comments. Especially interesting how so many people stated freedom or freedoms as our greatest attribute. It always makes me question the depth of American understanding of freedom especially as it is associated with democracy. I think many would be interested to know that Canada is considered the most Democratic country in the world and by extension the freest. However, in America, Canada is generally considered a Socialist country. America actually has over the past years slipped closer and closer to the state of a flawed democracy by all standards. Many of the commentators below expressed the concern that interviewees would be bashing America. The hypocrisy of those comments is as pointed out by one of the elderly ladies interviewed, the very core of freedom. The fact that Americans "bash" America is in my mind is an incredible statement of freedom, and democracy, and a true expression of Patriotism. It is there in the preamble of the constitution "We the people of the United States, in order to form a MORE perfect union". The idea that America is perfect or beyond criticism, or that any given group of Americans who oppose the idea of American exceptionalism are anti-America or lack love for their country is far removed from the idea that is America. The thing most precious to most people; children, are not beyond correction and discipline, we correct and discipline out of our endless love for them, and our desire for them to develop into the very best people they can possibly be. This is if nothing more our responsibility as parents, and so it is our same responsibility as citizens.

Side note: A major thing MOST of the other countries had to say about Americans is that we are "loud", and then most followed up with things like, "It's okay though, they speak their mind.", "It's kind of cool how they just say what they are thinking.", and there were many more similar. I get it now, they don't think we are loud, they think we explain a LOT, and continue with our points by referencing things like personal experiences and such. You know why we talk so long when we answer questions? We have been taught that in schools, we need to back up our statements with proof, it's awesome. I am rambling here, but I think that when they say we are "loud" they just mean we defend and respond in length, much like my current post. They aren't used to that.

never been to the USA, but like every other country, there´s good things and bad things, fortunatly the good things outweigh by a lot the bad things, still I prefer being in the EU (Portugal).

I think that schools should educate their students more about other countries and their history. It seems to be all focused on American history. America can seem a little self-centered. Maybe if we learn about the history of other countries, we would get more respect. A lot of countries think Americans are stupid. Not all Americans but there are a lot. It should also be a requirement in school to learn at least a second language. Starting even at Kindergarten. So many other countries know English and it’s not even their native language.

I think that’s a fair point. I don’t remember learning about other countries very much back when I was in high school. And I think learning a second language would be very beneficial! I wish I would have taken Spanish class more seriously back then 😂😂 Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts! some solid points in there.

It's been going downhill for quite sometime.

As a truck driver at 22 I feel the United States is very diverse and it's amazing coast to coast, north to south and then there's the this gray patch called the midwest which is odd. Lol JK. The midwest is amazing!! Thanks for the corn and other products they produce. Every state has alot of different things to offer. I heard some say the United States has no culture. I thought it was true but the cowboy culture varies in every state. The food. The accents. The hospitality. Lots of culture. What I don't like is the racism. The jail system. The countless laws. Education costs. The religious judgement and California's impossible concept of beauty, making young men and women change their features to fit in. I feel the United States has come a very long way and still has a long way to go. @James Prime you're very fortunate to travel to these other amazing countries and interview them. Hearing their thoughts of the U.S. was funny, cringe and intriguing. Hearing our citizens thoughts were also a surprise. Alot of good things said about the U.S. some negative things. Overall every country has their ups and downs. Its what makes everyone different but our differences bring us together. "Opposites Attract."

Great feed back Jonas. I pretty much agree with everything you said. My views on the Midwest might be a bit biased as I am from the Midwest (Ohio), i couldn’t imagine growing up anywhere else. When I hear people say that the US doesn’t have any culture, I like to point out sports, film, music etc. I think they say that because it’s just a stereotype. And you are correct! I always count my blessings whenever I go on an overseas trip. I never take it for granted because I know a lot of people aren’t able to do so. Super thankful for that. I agree with you that every country has their ups and downs. I see it everywhere I go. No matter what country I’m in, you’ll always find the same thing, people just trying to live. Thanks for watching the video and thanks for commenting, I make an effort to try and read every single comment that comes through. 👍🏽

In his poem The English Flag, Kipling writes "And what should they know of England who only England know?". Americans here are being asked what they think of America. It's a question you can't really answer unless you know the world outside of America. You need to see America as others see it, and you can't do that from within. From my travels around the US, it's rather obvious that most Americans know staggeringly little about the world outside of America - which tends to mean that what most Americans think of America is what they're told to think of it, and you can see the truth of that in the answers here.

Istvan Glock you don’t need to travel the world to have an opinion on your own back yard. Yes traveling may change perspectives for better or for worse, but everyone is free to share what they think no matter if they’ve never travelled to another state or another country. They’re Americans and this is what they think at the moment.

How can the person at 2:40 say student loans are a barrier? Government-funded student loans are what makes college POSSIBLE for countless Americans. Also, lower-income people get more GRANTS for college. I can attest to both of these statements. She might be talking about the burden of paying off a student loan, but one does not need to go to an expensive college - so that’s a third thing I can personally attest to.

We need an overhaul on education and Medical. That and the main ruination of this country is political factions. George Washington warned against it, and it's happening right in front of our faces. All political parties do, is divided us and keep us from moving forward at a faster rate.

the political system is a joke (bad one), justice system is less about actual justice and in general is broken in SO many ways i could write a book on it, the public education system is abysmal and an embarrassment for a first world country, poverty is rampant all over especially in major cities and there's little being done about that or the abysmal state of a non-existent and hopeful effective standardized healthcare system. a parable: what's to like about an apple when no matter how pretty it might look superficially there's so much rot Inside you can barely stand to look at it.

Poverty is far from rampant in the U.S. and our healthcare is the best in the world if you look at survival rates from heart disease, cancer, and other life threatening diseases/injury. Sure the U.S. has some problems but I would hardly compare it to a rotten apple that's pretty on the outside, if anything it's the opposite people try to make our country seem far worse than it actually is.

of course America is good they have lots of people, think aobut it if poeple hate the us why do they have so much people.

Lol at that old lady saying “freedom to travel all over the world”. Not anymore you can’t America - your’re banned pretty much everywhere😂

I think the problem with the American pride is not the fact you love your country, its more the fact you proclaim yourself to be the "best". This is a problem because its a very broad all encompassing statement when clearly there are many countries who do a lot of things better. It's just a very arrogant way of showing pride.

I live here, I can assure you we don't go walking around talking about how this is the best country ever. We're all just normal people with varying opinions of the country, many of which are immigrants traveling from other countries. Most people don't even have an opinion on the country, more an opinion of their state. America is so damn huge people are more likely to have pride in the state they live in if anything. What you're talking about is (as you said) whats portrayed by the media and our government. Is there patriotism in this country? For sure, it's certainly a thing, but at the same time the country is so divided many people hate the site of the American flag and think it represents racism. We're not some monolith, it's a ginormous country that differs in culture even from state to state. And again, I really think you're overreacting to the thing said in this video, I don't feel like anyone here was patriotic to an extreme extent. It's not like its a bunch of gun toting, cowboy hat wearing "god bless Amurica" types of people. Sure there's some pride in the country on display in the video but I really don't see anything that extreme.
