America is the land of opportunity and freedom, freedom to choose what you want to express, and accomplish. Its success is due in part to the entrepreneurial spirit and creativity people have. Americans have ingrained in their souls that if you fight for it, you can achieve it and every problem has a solution, every cause has an effect, you pay a price for everything you do, the buck stops on you, nobody else, we all have 24 hours a day is up to you what you do with it. Culturally we are ahead of the world. However, apathy is setting in and now we have to rely more on immigrants to fulfill that role so now we have to employ foreigners to advance our technology to the next step. I am currently living in Vietnam and people here don’t have what it takes to makes things happen. I run into a lot of pessimism why things couldn’t be done. Plus the fact that there is no freedom of anything, except for internet media, so far we are enjoying virtual freedom. People here have been conditioned to listen not to participate, to respect not to inquire, to accept not to discuss, etc.
