‘America is hope. It is compassion. It is valor. It is a tune which must be sung together’. The United States of America, aka America or U.S.A, with a motto announcing ‘ In God We Trust’, justifies every sense of the word used. This connoisseur country of North America exercises huge trickle down effect when it comes to the economy of the entire globe, thus making it one of the most carefully scrutinized country of the world.

The country whose capital reads Washington D.C., where English is the National language and whose citizens are called ‘Americans’, was declared independent from the Kingdom of Great Britain in the year 1776, while it was recognized as one on September 3rd, 1783.”America is great because it has as much diversity in geographies as it does in people”, quotes Aurora Raigne, highlighting the heterogeneous composition of the place. The United States, which ranks first in terms of total GDP, a commendable 3rd in Human Development Index, and yet another 3rd in its population base, consists of 500 states, a federal district and 5 Union Territories. Patriotism sprinkles upon its people with the anthem ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ as the country exercises uncountable effect over finance, trade, culture, military, politics and technology.

“What the American people hope, what they deserve is for all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to work through our differences; to overcome the numbing weight of our politics. For while the people who sent us here have different backgrounds, different stories, different beliefs, the anxieties they face are the same. The aspirations they hold are shared: a job that pays the bills, a chance to get ahead, most of all, the ability to give their children a better future”. The quoted line by the current President Mr. Barack Obama, gives the sum and substance of the inescapable influence integrated by this world’s superpower, America, where ‘luxuries’ are camouflaged behind ‘basics’, ‘security’ is exercised as ‘necessity’.
