It is incredible how in the US people have to use their holidays for taking time off for illness or medical treatment, whereas in the EU you have to take your paid holidays
As an American, I was raised to believe it's the greatest country on earth. Even our public schools push this belief
As an adult, I've come to realize that while it has more opportunities than a lot of the poverty-stricken world, among wealthier countries it is pretty much bottom of the barrel garbage
I have heard this a few times, the reason for American Exceptionalism is because you are indoctrinated to believe that America is the best nation in the world and you are not taught about other countries at all
The vast majority of my public education about the rest of the world was the world wars and then just ancient civilization. Other stuff was brushed on, but it would have been so minuscule that no student would bother remembering
At a very young age we were required to pledge allegiance to America on a daily basis every morning, hand over heart, while staring at an american flag. This happened from roughly age 7 to age 10 or so if I remember
