Are americans more positive than other nationalities?

In some ways, Americans are very positive.  Maybe a better question would be:\n\nAre Americans more postive than people in other countries?\n\n"nationalities" is a problematic term.

Yes, I totally agree!\n\nI'm not trying to sound ignorant here, but the average American is rather close-minded to the rest of the world. They need to get their heads out of their butts, and learn that others really do exist out there. \n\nI think that's part of the overall reason why other nations feel resentment towards them.

I'm American.The individual people or the ones that they meet they find agreeable/likable however if you come from a place with more structure or is not quite so fast paced,American culture could be daunting in its immenseness and/ or lack of traditional culture(perception-compared to other countries). My mom was from Bay Springs, Mississippi and came to visit me in San Diego,California. It was a little scary for her.Image what it must look like to a person from a whole different country. It mostly depends on what you are use/accustomed to. We are a country of immigrants so our culture is rich and varied.

Interesting that most people have said Nationalism, thats probably true if you're an American since we think we are so great. However in a global scale I think religion is more dividing than nationalism.

Well, I have to say, you're being very stereotypical. It's obvious that you don't like Americans, but don't you think that you're generalizing, just a bit? Most Americans have moved on from being prejudiced. Now, I'm not saying that the whole of America isn't prejudiced, because there are a large number of prejudiced people. But isn't it the same in other countries as well? And how exactly do Americans show off? I don't understand. And perhaps we do sometimes get in business that maybe we shouldn't, such as Iraq, but that shouldn't be a reflection on our country, it's a reflection on the choices of the president. And like the person above me said, there are some tourists who think they're God's gift to mankind, but not everyone is like that. A few people shouldn't be cause to hate a whole country. No person, no country, is perfect.

I myself am not American, nor do i have anything at all against America - however; i will say that i have noticed that MANY  (NOT ALL!) American people tend to believe they are "above" people from most other countries - including Mexican Immigrants.  This attitude, i believe, has little or no basis in fact but has far more to do with the leaders of America.  The arrogant attitude comes right from the top; was it not America its very self that created the notion of "the American Dream" ?!  If the leaders of their country have an arrogant attitude& think they're better than the rest then its little wonder that the same principles and ways of thinking have been taken on by so many (it seems) American people.  I noticed in your question you are very passionate about your cause, which i do commend you for but would urge you to not fight a losing battle.  As i said i doubt it has anything to do with your people(it seems from your question that you yourself are mexican immigrant) personally, politically or anything else if the truth be known - it probably IS that Americans can be very arrogant and just automatically believe they're better than everyone!  (i am in no way against american people; i actually have family there!  And im certain that there are plenty of undesirable British traits - im british!- that i could sit here and take apart!!!)  In short i suppose what i'm saying is: don't worry about it; it's not you with the problem-it's them!!!!(oh; and yes-immigrants DO contribute a lot to america; to its economy,workplace ....)

Not all Americans are this way just like in every culture there is good and evil.  We have some really great and giving Americans that have a good heart with intentions of being a positive force in this world.  Unfortunately the only people that get recognized are the evil ones.

I wouldn't personally but there are many who have a closer connection with other countries.  No matter how wonderful you think the US is, there are many out there who feel the same way about other countries.

The United States is a pluralisitc society.  I would argue there is no such thing as an 'average' American in any ethnic or cultural sense.  I'm sure there are those Americans, by virtue of racism or their own bad experiences, who harbor negative feelings about immigrants of any background.  America has had a mixed history of racial interaction, but, by in large, I have found Americans to be a tolerant people.  In most major cities you can also find large groups of ethnic Iranians to ease your transition.  There will always be bigots, and terrorism has focused the attention of bigots on people from the Middle East, but bigots are the minority.  You will likely find ignorance to be much more frustrating than maliciousness.  For example, most Americans don't know that Iranians are generally Persian, not Arab.  If you have patience, I think you can overcome these difficulties and make a successful, free life in America if you so choose.
