Wake Up and Smell the Corruption

The author of “America Is Not the Greatest Country on Earth. It’s No. 28”(2016), Eric Roston, juxtaposes the United States to other majorly developed countries around the globe to point out the US’ flaws. The author uses logos and recent worldly studies to justify and support his uncommon claim. Roston’s purpose is to inform readers the reality in rankings of the countries in the Earth in order to open the eyes of sheltered people in hopes to create change. The author connects with his audience by explaining his reasoning in a fathomable way.

My goal in the creating of this blog is to write an undeniably good research essay that will cause people who read this blog to open their eyes a little more to how much the U.S. is starting to fall behind in the world ranking. What really strikes me about this topic is how strong headed people can be when it comes to discussing whether or not America is the best even when they are faced with bulletproof facts.

In this series of blog posts, I would like to address potentially 2 different views on this argument in order to fairly represent both sides in this discussion that happens world wide. The first is briefly discuss the logistics behind the statistics that support the failure of positive development in the U.S.. Also, I would eventually like to expand on why Americans have such a closed mind-set on the U.S. being undeniable the best country in the entire world.
