Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are constantly reminded that the United States is the greatest country in the world--even the greatest country in the history of civilization! Most agree that America is the most exceptional and most privileged nation on Earth. Presidents proclaim it and politicians remind us. Some believe this land was ordained by God to be the most dominant influence throughout the world. These are bold claims indeed. The United States of America is certainly a powerful, prosperous and influential nation but is it favored above all others? Is it truly the greatest country on the planet as we've always been told? Quick Quiz:What country has meddled in more national elections around the world than any other country and has pumped the most CO2 into the atmosphere? Can you name a country that has transferred billions of dollars in wealth from its working people to an elite class of billionaires? Which nation has the highest percentage of its citizens locked behind bars and the most adults earning poverty wages? Which country has the worst gun violence in the world, has kept its workers' wages stagnant for three decades and crushed its unions? Are you able to name the country that carried out a campaign of brutal indigenous genocide while it held four million people in bondage and still continues to skirt its responsibilities to address the human devastation left behind? Which country has rigged its economic system for over a century so that people of color can only amass ten percent of the wealth of those in the majority Can you identify which nation developed the most destructive weapons in human history, has been engaged in war for 90 percent of its history, bombed dozens of countries since WW II and spends more on its military than any other country? What nation banned immigration based on religion and spread an obesity epidemic to nations around the globe? Which one exploded over 200 nuclear bombs in the atmosphere just to see how well they worked, spreading radioactive fallout worldwide? Can you identify a country where racism permeates every part of its society while its leaders pretend it's not so? What's the only affluent country that allows thousands of its citizens to die due to lack of health insurance? And which one had the worst response and highest COVID-19 death rate and experienced the first attempted coup in its history? Answer: That country is the United States of America. Surprised? Did you always believe America was the greatest country in history? Most Americans and all politicians do. But believing we're a nation above all others doesn't do much to encourage improvement. America: The Greatest Country in the World? See What the Facts Say. Bold Ideas for Making it Better poses some difficult questions about America's greatness and presents an Everest of evidence exposing why America might not be the greatest country on planet Earth and asks readers to look at the facts and decide for themselves. It concludes with bold ideas for changes in our policies to make America a better country for more of its citizens including a new U.S. Constitution to transform how this nation functions. This book is not anti-America or anti-democracy...it's simply anti-unfairness and anti-injustice!
Download or read book The Next Mormons written by Jana Riess and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Millennials--the generation born in the 1980s and 1990s--have been leaving organized religion in unprecedented numbers. For a long time, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was an exception: nearly three-quarters of people who grew up Mormon stayed that way into adulthood. In The Next Mormons, Jana Riess demonstrates that things are starting to change. Drawing on a large-scale national study of four generations of current and former Mormons as well as dozens of in-depth personal interviews, Riess explores the religious beliefs and behaviors of young adult Mormons, finding that while their levels of belief remain strong, their institutional loyalties are less certain than their parents' and grandparents'. For a growing number of Millennials, the tensions between the Church's conservative ideals and their generation's commitment to individualism and pluralism prove too high, causing them to leave the faith-often experiencing deep personal anguish in the process. Those who remain within the fold are attempting to carefully balance the Church's strong emphasis on the traditional family with their generation's more inclusive definition that celebrates same-sex couples and women's equality. Mormon families are changing too. More Mormons are remaining single, parents are having fewer children, and more women are working outside the home than a generation ago. The Next Mormons offers a portrait of a generation navigating between traditional religion and a rapidly changing culture.
Book Synopsis The Greatest Country in the World by : John Maley
Download or read book The Greatest Country in the World written by John Maley and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is not to denigrate America, its history, or what it stands for. Rather, I hope to shine a light on some lesser-known American history and compare today's American society to other countries around the world. I will also trace the history of America's national debt from the founding of the nation to the present-day (decade by decade) so you can see for yourself when the nation's spending spree finally led to the perilous financial future America is facing. Most Americans aren't very interested in history but it's important to remember history is not just a study of the past, it's an explanation of the present. President Truman said, "The only thing new in this world is the history that you don't know". After reading this book, I hope you'll learn something new about our nation's history and perhaps change the way you think about the federal government and our great country.
Book Synopsis The Golden Mountain by : Easurk Emsen Charr
Download or read book The Golden Mountain written by Easurk Emsen Charr and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charr tells eloquently of his difficulties in becoming a naturalized citizen, even after serving in the army, of his sergeant's encouragement of his quest for citizenship, his return to San Francisco and a job in a cousin's barbershop during the Depression, and of the American Legion's help when his Korean-born wife was threatened with deportation proceedings after her student visa expired. After becoming a naturalized citizen, Charr took the civil service examination and, for the remainder of his working life, was employed by the U.S. government, first in Nevada and then in Portland, Oregon. The introduction and annotations by Wayne Patterson provide a broader perspective on both Charr and the Korean immigrant experience.

Book Synopsis Americans or Americants? How America Became a Can’t-Do Society by : Dave Sinclair
Download or read book Americans or Americants? How America Became a Can’t-Do Society written by Dave Sinclair and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American carnage is here. Hollyweird plays the slapping game (Will Smith and all that!). The Woke play the crying game. QAnon plays the game that no one sane can understand. Has America become a satirical show? Is a team of comedians running America? They're all into black comedy, the darker the humor the better, until no one can any longer distinguish comedy from tragedy. Do you want to come backstage, and see behind the scenes, see what's really going on? You are in the theater of the absurd. You must have worked that out by now. Or is it the theater of cruelty? I always get those two mixed up. What's for sure is that thanks to all the madness, Americans became Americants. Can Americans ever get back to America Can? Or is it America Can't from now on? George Bernard Shaw said, "All great truths begin as blasphemies." When you are a conman, everything looks like a con. When you are a sucker, everyone suckers you. A poker proverb says, "If you've been in the game 30 minutes and you don't know who the sucker is, you're the sucker." Did America become a nation of suckers? America is run by conmen, grifters, swindlers and hucksters ruling over patsies, marks, suckers and dupes. That's the truth. Is it the great American blasphemy?! Come inside for the blackest comedy and heaviest irony and satire, as well as lots of serious commentary on the State of the Union. And possible solutions to the nightmare. Trigger Warning (for those of a sensitive disposition): This content contains heavy satire, irony, sarcasm and black comedy. Keep your wits about you.
Book Synopsis ''Unmitigated Disaster'' by : Louis D. Cruz
Download or read book ''Unmitigated Disaster'' written by Louis D. Cruz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of America is moving "forward." And, NOW that word "forward" happens to be the slogan of the very man; that, Republican Willard Mitt Romney is trying to unseat. America the Party of "NO" has a man who will insist to see your ID, Birth Certificate, but won't release his Tax Returns, at the least 5-6 of them, so the voting electorate will know how to trust him. There are many perfectly legal ways for all "weasels" to get out of paying taxes. Especially, if you can afford armies of "creative" accountants to find them all. In our own Country's Congressional Leaders there is: Nothing but, shameless lies and dishonor! That explains what's going on here. If election in November is to be decided on the several issues, "Robme" (the Romney) and (Ryan, the Lying) along with the remaining hostile Republicans should stay away from foreign policy this next four years. Even drifting into that realm risks reminding voters of Obama's clear advantage in leadership. America, "Bush has been out of office for almost 4 years, are YOU really going to continue to blame him ?" This is what the Republicans are saying! Honestly, if that's were the blame lies, absolutely! It wouldn't matter; even if, it's been 100, 200, or 300 years since George W. "the Idiot" Bush has been out of office, there will STILL remain too many unanswered questions! America: This book is a ...Timeline of George W. Bush's "UNMITIGATED DISASTER" that has become President OBAMA'S inherited MESS! Let him fix ..it for all of America! Louis D. Cruz

Book Synopsis Keeping the Republic by : Christine Barbour
Download or read book Keeping the Republic written by Christine Barbour and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keeping the Republic gives students the power to examine the narrative of what's going on in American politics, distinguish fact from fiction and balance from bias, and influence the message through informed citizenship. Keeping the Republic draws students into the study of American politics, showing them how to think critically about “who gets what, and how” while exploring the twin themes of power and citizenship. Students are pushed to consider how and why institutions and rules determine who wins and who loses in American politics, and to be savvy consumers of political information. The thoroughly updated Ninth Edition considers how a major component of power is who controls the information, how it is assembled into narratives, and whether we come to recognize fact from fiction. Citizens now have unprecedented access to power – the ability to create and share their own narratives – while simultaneously being even more vulnerable to those trying to shape their views. The political landscape of today gives us new ways to keep the republic, and some high-tech ways to lose it. Throughout the text and its features, authors Christine Barbour and Gerald Wright show students how to effectively apply the critical thinking skills they develop to the political information they encounter every day. Students are challenged to deconstruct prevailing narratives and effectively harness the political power of the information age for themselves. Up-to-date with 2018 election results and analysis, as well as the impact of recent Supreme Court rulings, shifting demographics, and emerging and continuing social movements, Keeping the Republic, Ninth Edition is a much-needed resource to help students make sense of politics in America today. Also available as a digital option (courseware). Contact your rep to learn more about Keeping the Republic, Ninth Edition - Vantage Digital Option.

Book Synopsis Attractive Unattractive Americans by : René Zografos
Download or read book Attractive Unattractive Americans written by René Zografos and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost every human being on the planet today knows something - and feels something - about America. It's the "land of the free and the home of the brave." It's responsible for hamburgers and Coca-Cola and color TV. It's the center of the universe, with the greatest athletes, tallest buildings, most famous movie stars, and biggest dreamers. But what does a world that contains seven billion people really think about the most talked about - and controversial - nation on earth? This is the question that inspired RenE Zografos to spend seven years interviewing people from seven continents to pen the definitive guide to the U.S.A.'s global reputation. In ATTRACTIVE UNATTRACTIVE AMERICANS, Zografos - an award-winning Norwegian-Greek author of eight books and veteran journalist - brings together the voices of thousands of people from around the world to highlight their opinions of Americans and the country they live in. From Mexico-born 'Dog Whisperer' Cesar Millan and a Bangkok-based tailor named Marco, to American girl-obsessed Italian teenagers and Swedish ex-pats living in the U.S.A., Attractive Unattractive Americans is chock-full of hundreds of unexpected insights, opinions, compliments and criticisms about the so-called "greatest country on earth." It's a fascinating, not-to-be-missed exploration of culture, politics, philosophy, and the American Dream the likes of which has never before been seen in one place. Among the timely, unusual, and exceptionally entertaining questions ATTRACTIVE UNATTRACTIVE AMERICANS addresses include: - Are Americans liked or disliked when traveling abroad? - Do people from other countries actually care about what's going on in America? - Is American music, film, fashion, and food as influential as we think it is? - How do the great American cities actually stack up against the Hollywood portrayals of them? - Are Americans attractive?
