We humans are but higher primates who evolved in tribes that warred incessantly over territory. But our country represents an evolution toward non-tribalism. We have melded different races and cultures into a society that increasingly sees all humans as ONE SPECIES! This is why 911 involved a symbiotic castration at the World Trade Center, which was the center of GLOBALIZATION.
This is historically revolutionary and therefore terrifying to the monocultural societies on the planet… like in Russia and China.
Hopefully we can “HELP” them transition to the next phase of the human adventure.
history, tradition and national identity and pride. The US is not civilization-state and doesn't have its own language (which is a very important component in a civilization). Its history is too young and too straightforward in its development (not very storied comparing to 1000 years of Russia and 4000+ years of China) and people in US are struggling in finding national identity.
You're a psychologist if i remember it correctly. You certainly understand your jealousy and self-hatred.
Btw, neither Russia nor China is monocultural. Muslim accounts 20% of Russian population, much more than that of U.S.. you would be amazed to see how diverse China is if you go to china. It is not uncommon that a person from one province doesn't understand the other person from another province in China even they both speak Chinese.
