" This is what most people believe, and say as they learn about History of our nation. In some instance, this quote is true, but people tend to forget we are not the envy of the world. Most countries around the globe do not like neither appreciate America. .
America is full of corruption. Media today corrupts our nation, and many times the rest of the world. The negative messages, stereotyping, commercialism and materialistic views blind us.

North Korean leader, Kim Jung Ill threatened the world with his nuclear program, and bombs. Although most don't know it, America is more of a threat than anybody in the world. We might say we are doing what is right, but it is done for selfish reasons. America wants everything her way.

Slowly, other countries are changing. As they change they become more Americanized, which means their own culture is influenced. Countries that are thousands of years old, thus rich in culture, are being changed by a nation whose history is only 200 years old! That's not even half of most other countries. Countries are forgetting about their tradition. Little by little, they are forgetting who they are.
"City on a hill," is usually used to describe America. It means the model of the world.
