Question

American political culture dictates the type of policies which can be adopted in the U.S. This means that American healthcare/education/foreign/family policies will look very different from those of other countries. What policies do you think other countries could borrow from the U.S.? What policies do you think the U.S. could borrow from other countries?

Answer 1

America is currently the biggest economy on this planet. It has witnessed giant strides from starting a colony and then becoming a country with vast geography and human intellectual. American culture which is vastly influenced by Anglo-Saxon is successful in creating a risk-taking tendency. America is a land of opportunity and whoever has skills and ready to work hard, will surely going to have great fortune.

Innovation and willing to take the risk with hard work has created Apple, Facebook and Standard Oil in the USA. I think, creating infrastructure and facilitating resources is important and such capitalist culture and encouraging policies is what other countries should definitely follow from the US.

America is a good example of the occidental culture but it is also very individualistic. Oriental culture is based on a collectivist idea and that puts society or family before an individual. This has proven a great tool for maintaining family structure in society. It also acts as an emotional support system in today's stressful professional and personal life scenario.

The US has a really fragile family system and individualism is driving frustration deeper. Frequent shootouts at public places by some individuals indicate that they were unable to cope the stress and resorted to hurting and killing others.
In this case, the US government should look into and should incentivize for maintaining a family structure which will be beneficial for social health.
