Again, thanks to everyone who has bothered to answer and help me with my little project/assignment. It has been interesting to read your answers and certainly, I've noticed a lot of differences in your answers. I'm actually an exchange student from Finland, spending this school year here in the US. Finnish mentality, attitudes, and values differ in many ways with the general ones in America, and it would be interesting to hear more of your opinions on certain topics.
America is the only industrialized country in the world that doesn't provide its citizens with universal healthcare. It is also one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Why do you think this is the case and would you change it?
As a Finnish, I've been shocked by the tuitions that some colleges require their students to pay. This certainly leads to inequality of opportunities among teenagers, since the costs for some of the best schools are incredibly high. Why, for example, US don't spend little less on military and rearmament and help its citizens to get rid of student loans?
