Is America Exceptional? Ordinary? The Gold Standard of Excellence among nations? Below the norm among developed nations?1. For this paper you are required to use at least eight incorporations (quotations, etc.) from the documents and articles found by doing independent research.2. Include proper works cited page that shows ALL sources used for the writing of the essay.READINGS:Various articles published on our Canvas class space, esp.”Why the Rich are Getting Richer & the Poor Poorer””The Myth of American Exceptionalism”by Robert Reich canvasby Steven M. Walt canvasYou Must Find More research beyond what has been put in the moduleHINTS:The speaker in the Newsroom quote emphasizes the word “evidence” and I will be looking for exactly that as I read through your papers. Critical thinking is not about what we wish to say but about what we can say with solid proof or support.In the first Episode of an HBO television show called Newsroom a famous National news anchor is asked while visiting a university to say why America is the greatest country in the world. He answers flippantly until he is harassed and then he fires out this toward the young woman who originally asked the question:And, yeah, you… sorority girl. Just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know. One of them is: There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we’re the greatest country in the world. We’re seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies. None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt a member of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period, so when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about! Yosemite?Now, his answer isn’t technically accurate on all issues, but is his answer right in spirit? All the presidential candidates claimed that America is “exceptional”; they only differed in a few details about what makes it exceptional. But it doesn’t take much research (or listening to daytime radio or liberal TV (MSNBC) or conservative TV (FOX News) to hear the doublespeak-the people who say out of one side of their mouth that America is great and out of the other that America is greatly messed up.

· Text 5: Breaking cultural barriers through sports· Text 6: Cartoons· Text 7: “Time for Love”· Text 8: “The Painting”Discussion of the topicIn your preparation material, you are asked to read the texts included and reflect on a discussion about diversity in English-speaking countries.The discussion in the preparation material explores cultural diversity in English-speaking countries in different contexts. In this context, diversity refers to when a community such as a country includes people of many cultural and racial backgrounds: immigrants, people of different skin colours, religions, or sexual orientation.Be mindful that cultural diversity can develop in different areas such as arts, sports, local communities, or the job market. In each area, cultural diversity has its benefits andchallenges.In the workplace, regulations and good practices should bring people of different cultural backgrounds together, provided that both employers and employees respect them. But challenges can arise because of different level of English language knowledge between employees. The preparation material also talks about other potential challenges for people who belong to minorities in English speaking countries. They can also be targets of discrimination, sexual harassment, and suffer exploitation.You can also reflect on the following aspects which are not mentioned in the preparation material:Supporters of cultural diversity (sometimes referred to as multiculturalism) say that culturally diverse societies are more creative, give people more freedom, and can become more economically developed because they bring together different ideas and influences. One success story of cultural diversity has been the creation of the United States, which at its origins was formed by migrants with different cultural backgrounds from across the world.However, some people tend to focus on the challenges of cultural diversity. These people argue that cultural diversity threatens national identities or that it leads to more racial tensions and prejudices rather than integration and cooperation. For example, the Brexit vote has been viewed as a failure of cultural diversity in Britain as a number of Britons voted to leave the EU because they wanted fewer immigrants in their country (among other reasons).Text 1: A Brief Guide to Health and Safety in the WorkplaceText 1 is a non-fiction text which provides a list of duties, rights, and responsibilities for both employers and employees.The text also includes two Simpsons comic cartoons.
