The largest problems are - the decay of our (once world-class) public services due to privatization - the decay of our cultural diversity due to Americanization of culture - the decay of our direct democracy due to Americanization of the media (merger-mania, corporate dependencies) - the decay of our youth due to Americanization of food, movies, families,... - the decay of our environment due to Americanization of consumerism (e.g. SUVs instead of energy-efficient cars) (Note the difference between progress and Americanization in all cases.) > Also, you say: "Perhaps America would be criticized less if it could get > rid of its obsession of forcing its own system (and the resulting problems) > upon everyone else (with rather egoistic motives)." > > Could you explain?
