The topic of my choice for this blog post is on our recent country’s
report card. We received a D+. This is a constant problem in our country that
we have not focused on. The report card is broken up into in to 17 categories.
Our highest grade earned was a B+ which was in solid waste. Even thought
Amercia pride its self on being the number country, we live worse than other countries.
It doesn’t make any sense as to why we have horrible roads, water filtration,
and a D average GPA. It is embarrassing
that we live such a poor quality country and we boast about being the best.
After receiving this news I have decided that I am going to pack up and move
elsewhere. This is unacceptable by my standards. America is no longer the “gem”
that many have perceived it to be. There is a strong decline lingering and I don’t
want to be a part of it. The majority of our infrastructure is at a “D”
according to the grading book a D is considered not only poor but also at risk.
I blame our poor infrastructure on our constant watch and
involvement in foreign countries. I believe that this issue should be brought
to attention in our next elections. The category that I felt strongly about is
our parks and recreational facilities. I believe that our negligence towards
our countries need have helped make social problems strife. The area worth
focusing that I believe that could help improve our social problems is our
public transit. In other countries it is the norm to ride trains and busses,
they are more prevalent and help those who aren’t fortunate enough to have a
car get to their job. I believe this is the biggest obstacle for a person
trying to set their foot back in society.
Very interesting article, I have to agree with you. Americans are always taughting how America is number one, fact of the matter is we are not number one in many areas. We are not setting up future generations for success. In regards to America's average GPA being a D+, good lord, that's insane, all things considered our government spends something like 2 or 3 times more on education than Finland was rated number one a few years back. This leads me to believe that our issues are not Governmental but cultural as well. Even looking at our gun and voilence issues, there are many countries with more laxed laws than ours but they do not have the same issues. This being said, our culture has some major issues and the silent majority needs to start walking the walk and taking action.
