@RaoulEmilian - (part 11) - By doing so, you will spread the beauty of what you treasure into the heart of America, and the appreciation of the cultures and art of other nations will begin to flourish within. So, my friend, help when and where you can. Currently, we are like your culturally-retarded (slow growing) cousin. We need your help to grow beyond our limitations. We are now more willing than ever. We are beginning to accept that all the world is deserving of respect and appreciation.

@RaoulEmilian - (part 10) -We don't mean to be arrogant. It's just that, in part, that is how history led us. The same would happen and has happened to any nation that becomes so much more powerful and influential than other nations. We are changing. The more you DIRECTLY engage with individual Americans, the more you will find that we are open to new things; we just need to be led by the hand and shown the beauty outside.WHENEVER you can, introduce an American to those things that YOU treasure.

@RaoulEmilian - (part 9) - America is changing. I definitely think for the better. However, it will take a LONG time before the majority of Americans value the outside world as much as they do themselves. That collectively we exhibit the Princess Syndrome should not be an indicator that we want or need to be this way. Just like the young girl was nurtured into feeling like she is the deserving princess and became arrogant, so too were Americans lulled into a similar feeling about themselves.

@RaoulEmilian - (part 8) - In such circumstances, whether purposeful or not, a government and a country slowly educates themselves to look inward without valuing the outside world as much as they do the inside world. An unintended arrogance develops, and the citizens of that nation become somewhat blinded to the beauty of the world outside, and the most beautiful and valuable is considered to be of their own. Nowadays, economic and other forces are FORCING U.S. citizens to open their eyes.

@RaoulEmilian - (part 7) - For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, It was at the societal (governmental) levels where what was determined to be educationally important to teach in school at primary and secondary levels. When kids are taught a full year of American history, only one week of the evil of slavery, and maybe, MAYBE one month of world history, they begin to develop a sense that their country is God's gift to humanity. (In fact, this sentiment is/was echoed by many of their leaders.)

@RaoulEmilian - (part 6) - However, wars and increasing business competition began to cause America to begin to increasingly close itself to the world. American dominance continued. While American culture and influence spread across the world, the influence in the opposite direction didn't happen equally because most other nations were not equally influential. Individually, Americans are not arrogant or close-minded. However, as a society, this is somewhat the case.

@RaoulEmilian - (part 5) - ... a VERY powerful and economically prosperous country was built. The same spirit of imperialism that drove the expansion of the British empire was still alive in the hearts of those who founded and ruled America. Once again, the world was following an economically and militarily powerful English-speaking nation. Once again, a nation began to develop the Princess Syndrome about itself. Early on, Americans enjoyed and celebrated the cultures of others.

@RaoulEmilian - (part 4) - ...to do business. Much of the world was looking at the British as the world's darling (though, most likely, despising them at the same time). At some point, the British STOLE a good sized chunk of a *new world* from the natives of that land. Eventually, the British settlers (and other early settlers from around the world) of this new world rebelled against British colonialism and became the Americans (the United States of America). By rampant SLAVERY of Africans, ...

@RaoulEmilian - (part 3) - As I see it, how all of this began can be traced back to British imperialism. Because the British became powerful militarily and financially, it was able to throw its weight around militarily and was able to capture and control many economic markets. For this reason, the English language became the must-know lingua franca for any other country that wanted to advance along with it. Here is the root of PS among nations; soon countries were banging on the British door...

@RaoulEmilian - (part 2) - Unfortunately, because, for the most part, she doesn't have to do much for others, yet the others still seem to hold her in high esteem, she naturally grows to feel that the others are naturally less worthy and less important than she. She begins to behave quite arrogantly and unconcerned about some of her actions affect others or make them feel. As a society, the U.S. has a good bit of PS about itself, but as I mentioned, world events is causing this to change.
