1.) America is most definitely an affluent society, especially compared to other countries that are far from thriving. America now has so much so offer to other countries and in return receives a huge surplus of imports. While America receives a lot from other countries, we do not always spend that wisely. I believe we struggle to spend the money we have in the most useful ways. We spend it on things that may not be valuable or as reasonable as it could be. Another problem is that we spend money on those we favor when it could be used to help people or countries who could really benefit from it. Yes, America without a doubt has come a long way and has a lot to offer when it comes to money, fortune, influence, a powerful army, weapons, resources, and more but we are not always smart when it comes to giving.
2.) As mentioned above, I believe America earns a lot of financial resources but does not effectively spend them or give them away. I also mentioned that the people who do receive that money or those resources often do not need it as much as others do. The amount of poverty and unemployment in America is horrible especially because it could be helped and avoided if people were aware and willing to help. I think the government should be more able in helping those get jobs regardless of their status, color, race, ethnicity, religion, etc. I believe people have many abilities that are being put to waste because they cannot find employment anywhere. Ultimately, I think the government has a responsibility in helping its people and that includes finding employment so those people and the government can make money.
