I've noticed a recurring theme in conversations and media where there's an assumption that everyone around the world aspires to be American or embraces American culture wholeheartedly. While I appreciate the contributions of the U.S. in various fields, this presumption comes off as a bit arrogant.

I remember quite a few years ago I heard an actor giving a speech about winning an award and he said something along the lines of "I'm so glad to be in this country with its freedoms". I thought, what specific freedom are you thinking about ...? I think other countries would surprise you.
