(some time ago to the "International Herald Tribune" to write the article, I have been sick, very busy, no time to write the article, fried stuff!)
After American life time is long, will find this highly inclusive country has all sorts of strange things values, outlook on life, world outlook, almost no line.
Americans are said to extravagance and waste, money worship, materialistic, indeed, American government and individuals are in debt, in order to maintain the physical quality of life first, many Americans live at the cost of borrowing, and finally had to go bankrupt.The annual number of American manufacturing waste is also the highest in the world.Americans eat fat, Americans for the pursuit of the material seems to world without end.However, completely abandoned the modern way of life. Amy made religious group in many places USA cart, stand aloof from worldly success in life, what is the real American?
Some people say that American moral corruption, indeed, a reality TV show is full of betrayal, unmarried, promiscuity, even encouraged to play a double game, cunning deception.Recently the notorious repute actor Charlie drug beat his wife, was expelled from the television, he can carry out national tour, earn basin full earthen bowl is everywhere.Similarly, the former governor of New York, prostitution was exposed, political career was halted, but dormant soon, who ran to the CNN as a host, seemed to cancel once for all.The Americans have really so bad?Known to all, former president Clinton to make love cause uproar, almost impeached, ten years later I became one of the most popular American politicians, all over the world to solve the crisis.American moral bottom line?
Some people say that Americans like backseat driver on foreign affairs, poor army Chu Wu, indeed, American spending is the highest in the world, is willing to police the world, all aggression after Afghanistan, Iraq, and now to help beat Libya, what time will it?At the same time charitable contributions Americans also ranks first in the world, numerous charitable organizations active in the world.
So, USA is a real value chaotic state, is USA like ancient Rome late as rotten to the core?Americans have a stick to the bottom line?This of course, simply put, is more than two hundred years ago a group of "savage continent." (Yi Zhongtian language) -- USA founding fathers -- create American constitution.USA citizenship, to God, to the country, the constitutional oath, national American constitution is the immigrant dominated foundation and the foundation.The basic meaning American constitution is the protection of citizens "right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
, America laws are derived from the constitution.Although the constitution is simple, but the extension, can have many meanings, such as privacy is the right of freedom that evolved from.At the same time, the Constitution also along with the historical development and have a different interpretation, is not immutable and frozen, but no matter what changes, the law is the most basic American line.
America almost all of today's key political issues, and the constitution of.The healthcare plan Obama, considered by some to be unconstitutional, because it is forcing people to buy insurance, violations of freedom.At the same time, America hospital can't collect the money after the first treatment, all the patients must make no exception, of course, the maintenance of such a system is going to be very expensive, but the medical care and food safety related to the right to life, is to touch the bottom line of the Americans, can never compromise.Have the strong consensus national, company production of food and medicine is not wrong.
America enterprise if caught the product quality problem, is unprecedented for the commercial reputation damage, because American a procedure called class
lawsuit, which many people together to sue companies.These days, USA Dalian lock decoration city Lowe 's
is such a procedure to be scorched by the flames, because they sell prefabricated plate is found to be defective, Lowe' s although denied the allegations, but in order to save the reputation, avoid becoming a target for all media, had to settle out of court.All in a certain period of time in their store bought prefabricated customers can claim to them, the amount of compensation ranging from $50 to $100000.
Check account never schools America, irrespective of whether children of illegal immigrants, because the identity is not a problem to seize power children excuse.Many America against illegal immigrants, but who would dare not openly asked expelled from school for children of illegal immigrants.In recent years USA politics have a lingering issues: Women's right to abortion.Until the late 70's, USA federal government award, women's right of privacy protected by the constitution, they can freely decide whether abortion, abortion in most areas of USA legalization.But the opposition to argue that the right to life of the ruling and the protection of the unborn child in conflict, whether for embryo is "people" argument has no results.This argument, but also reflects the individual "pursuit of happiness" and others "right to life", sometimes will inevitably produce conflict -- the so-called "free", not out of obligation.Therefore, for the protection of minors, USA made almost harsh laws, is because Americans believe that children's mental is not mature enough, can not really free to decide for yourself, parents have the obligation to protect their privacy.
These examples show USA after the founding of the PRC, the quality of life of the bottom line continuous improvement.America Constitution gave much individual rights, but realistically speaking, Americans and all kinds of desires of people have a clear understanding, make laws strictly control.Personal mistakes are common, America society to speed is quite fast.Many USA laws, but also in the tragedy after the outbreak was introduced.People realize the industrial pollution, high pollution pesticide lied happily in America earth, USA south also because farming due to excessive dust cover day.Americans eat a lot of suffering to pick up the legal weapons.Protect environment laws such as "Clean
Air
Act", but also in the industrial gas that killed people before the promulgation of the "global warming", now the issue is still fierce debate in congress.Further, the early years after the founding of American slavery, it is simply not that black people, they are not protected by the constitution.After countless people's sweat and more than two hundred years of struggle, finally changed the racial discrimination and America this constitution is actually inconsistent with the law and social order.
Americans to adhere to and understanding of the constitution, permeate everyday life examples are also many.For example, the recruitment of enterprises shall not ask applicants personal privacy such as marital status, religious belief, political parties, age, between colleagues and friends are not familiar with the situation never ask, never ask each other's wage income, but can not make carping comments on people's private life.This is why the likes of Clinton while his personal life was unclean, but strong working ability, dare to admit no corruption, to stage a comeback.As for Charlie, it is entertaining clowns, Americans who do not regard him as an example.
