The American Character - Douglas Coulter Alternative Views
by Emily John Digital Marketing Service ProviderWhat I
have observed by looking at the lives of people in America is that they always
concentrate on their nationalities and are least bothered about their own
existence in the world. Due to this, enormous injustice and damage has been
caused to the society. The American character is a little tricky to understand.
If you get a chance to stay abroad for so many years, you can truly observe
these characters enjoying a macro view.
The
first thing that I noticed about my own American
Character is that because we believe in “objective counting” we are
considered at the top of the other human beings in the world. However, in reality,
this notion exists deep in the American psyche. Second, Americans are ambiguous
in their Anglo-Saxon sense, they need to achieve some clarity here as compared
to the other nations in the world. Check out everyday news and you will come to
know the facts.
One
stupid thing I have observed about Americans is that they want to have answers
to all the questions, once and for all. Many a time, it is not possible.
Remember, you can achieve this up to some extent in your land, but if you
happen to stay in a foreign land for a long time, it is difficult for you to
get all the answers straight. There is not any ‘once and for all’ existing in
this world. So better we come out of our own fancy world.
There
is a deep constant present in the America Outlook, the moral
self-righteousness and moral self-superiority. The Americans think that they
have morally pure motives than anybody else in the world that is why they
always end up forcing others to do what they want them to do. This happens both
consciously and unconsciously. The Americans do not know how the other nations
perceive this quality as.
This
moral self-righteousness and self-superiority was responsible to strike many
wars in the world, this led to nothing but huge and mammoth destruction in the
society.
