News / Americans try to defame Poland yet again. [93]
To me there is simply a-lot of inequality in the USA I.E. school resources. While I completely agree with your assessment - it has "evolved" a bit. I can't pin point when but College began to become a scam. For whom? The leftist agenda. Stockpiling general education requirements with agenda driven liberal arts courses in the 2000's. Now you have this sharp polarized disconnect between those that attend Universities (growing norm in the USA) and on the flip side you have blue collar "fly over" America. But not all degrees are created equal and many of these liberal arts majors end up in debt and the biggest whiners about degrees being a waste. The middle ground of trade schools is increasingly disappearing so the only people capable of doing any sort of home repairs/improvements are those "dumb" no college degree blue collar workers. It's an interesting relationship in the USA. Neither side respects the other.
As for Americans being isolationist. Kind of. Americans are rather open minded especially this new generation of leftist spoon fed globalization and multiculturalism but.....they want it on their own terms and that being American culture. Most Americans are mixed cultured and can no longer pin point their ancestry so can't blame them for being geographically disconnected from the rest of the World. But as the USA becomes more demographically brown - you will begin to see this change as the regular USA citizens will be more involved in American (North, South and Latin) matters. But let me just leave you with this thought - a good portion of the Mexicans I met in Southern-California: eat Mexican, watch Mexican and shop Mexican. Some never tried Chinese or Greek food in their life. Italian - meh very few. So these people aren't all that informed either just a different type of ignorant.
It's a kind of chicken and egg situation, with the education system and media feeding and perpetuating a natural tendency to isolationism and simplification of issues
