Is America the "Greatest"?

Today we ask the question, is America the "greatest"? Is America the greatest is a common question that is asked a lot in today's generation. According to the New York Times, in a recent article, America is just "Okay". Joining today in studio is Brooke Medina, Communications Director for Civitas Institute. How should one respond to America just being "okay"? Thus, looking at and comparing America to other countries, it's obvious that America is better than just okay. The United States was founded on a creed of justice for all. While most other countries are founded on the need for power. This being said, America still has its flaws, but America has paved the way for a better democracy, capitalism, and free trade. The New York Times states that "The greatness of America depends on how wealthy you are". Moreover, this argument is summed up very well in Doug McCullough and Brooke Medina's article "Can We Celebrate a Flawed Nation? Yes!". Unpacking this, we first must define what greatest means. Does it mean perfect? America, nor any country, is close to perfect. However, if the greatest means better than all other countries, than yes, America is the greatest. Finally, asking is America the greatest, can be answered with a simple "Yes".
