Superbowl Sunday

Here it is, the day of the most watched game in America, some think the world.  It is not the most watched game in the world, it is just that some Americans think it is.  Here in the world outside the USA, nobody cares, just like on the fourth Thursday in November, when nothing happens here.  But in America, according to CNN and other news organizations, it is the biggest thing in the world.  This really shows once more the American egocentrism.  Not that it is a bad thing as such.  It is just something that I think limits the views of Americans, and I think could well be addressed by a mandatory period abroad.  It would do so well for Americans to travel out during college, and see the world outside, and appreciate the world beyond America’s borders.  Then when returning to America, decisions could be made less from that centrist view, and from a more appreciative, world view.  Broad mindedness and greater education from just such a view is what I will promote upon my return, to make America stronger.
