ONGOING CONTRIBUTION: EDUCATION
Every year, hundreds of thousands of students from all over the world come to the US for undergraduate, graduate, professional, and business education. A large number of them are sponsored by US universities. Many of them go back to their home countries and become leaders in their respective fields.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
The principle of government by consent made it imperative that the people be literate and well informed if they were to vote intelligently. To ensure this essential condition, statesmen agreed that society must at its own initiative and expense supply the means of schooling. This broke with the Old World concept that education should be privately financed undertaking for the upper classes, the rank and file supposedly having little need for education in what was deemed to be their permanently inferior station.
New England inaugurated the practice of free public education in colonial days. From then U.S. the plan spread in modified form around the world. Japan, for example, in 1872 made it a cornerstone of its program of modernization.
Food, homes, Churches, a meaning to live.

The MELTING POT:
The fusing of many different nationalities in a single society into the American melting pot allows every ingredient to add its particular strength. The constant infusion of new blood has enriched our cultural life. This American achievement stands alone in the scale, thoroughness, and rapidity of the process. This is not forcible incorporation but, rather, peaceful absorption.
America has demonstrated for everyone with eyes to see that those things which unite people are greater than those which divide them.

VOLUNTARY GIVING
Foreigners may criticize the American pursuit for the almighty dollar, but seldom go one to note the unparalleled degree to which the fruits of their labor are returned to society.
For example, thanks to this ingrained trait of the national character, the governments found it easy to mobilize our people behind the Marshall Plan, a costly tax-supported program for repairing the war-stricken economies of Western Europe. Also look into the relative proportion of funding to United Nations, UNICEF, International Atomic Energy Agency, and World Trade Organization, and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, for example.

THE RIGHT OF REVOLUTION
America stands for the concept of the inherent and universal right of revolution proclaimed in the U.S. Declaration of Independence in 1776: the doctrine that “all men are created equal” possessing “unalienable rights” to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” with the corollary that governments derive “their just powers from the consent of the governed” and that therefore the people have the right to supplant a government “destructive of these ends” with one which they believe “most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
Europe was the first to respond. In 1789 occcurred the great French Revolution, the forerunner of two later ones of the French people during the 19th century. Neighboring countries were not slow to follow. A series of revolts, centering in 1830 and 1848, drove the Turks from Greece, overturned illiberal governments through most of the rest of the continent.
These convulsions all had their internal causes, but in every instance, the leaders derived inspiration from America’s achievement of popular rule as well as from its freely expressed interest in their similar aspirations.

Wish you had better points to make. You know, assessments based on objective, provable facts? No worries though, I wish you all the best. PS: I do enjoy your profile theme based on American-made Star Wars movies. Maybe you can mention how much you enjoy the franchise in your next post on American culture.
