Many Americans tend to assume that we are more important than others in almost every way. They assume everyone else in the world watches only American-made movies, listens to American-made music, and buys American-made products. And they assume that “our God” is superior to “their God”, that our political and social beliefs and ideas are superior to “theirs”, and that “they” should believe as do we. They also assume the other 95% of the world wants to be just like us, and assume they should.
