America's Golden Age

Despite being a relatively young country, the United States of America is often thought of as the one of the most prosperous societies in the world. Known for allowing various forms of freedom and expression by means of its constitution, the United States have given birth to some of the world’s most brilliant thinkers, incredible schools and universities, and producing some of the most ingenious scientific breakthroughs and advancements. Overall, America is perhaps one of the most diverse, intellectually driven countries on Earth and I believe the United States is well within its Golden Age.
Throughout its lifetime, the United States has accomplished some of the most profound intellectual achievements the world has ever seen. The American

public and its scientists constantly search for new and innovative ideas that continue to push research to this day. In addition to its scientists and philosophers, America has also been the birthplace to some of the top schools on Earth. Whether we look at places like Harvard University or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, America has some of the most remarkable schools, which has helped push its thinkers forward and allowed the country to provide the world with some of the most astounding intellectual advancements.
In addition, the United States has also contributed to numerous advancements in medical, technological, and scientific fields.

Having some of the most brilliant scientists on Earth, the United States has given birth to various forms of progress within the medical field, including the creation of many medications, having some of the best schools for the studying of medicine, and many other triumphs. In addition, America has also played a role in various scientific and technological creations. Beginning with scientific creations, the United States has pushed scientific research to a point never before thought possible. Whether it is the discovery of DNA or landing men on the moon, the United States has contributed to scientific breakthroughs in many ways. Additionally, the United States has also created various technologies thought to be science fiction in the past. This includes cellular phones, GPS, and even the

internet.
The United States is based on a free economy run by a government that is “by the people,” and “for the people.” In other words, the United States economy is based on the principles of private enterprise and minimum government restrictions. This financial system has allowed for opportunity within the government, as its people are free and not restricted as harshly as the citizens of some other countries are. However, the American economy is not all good; the United States is in a debt of trillions of dollars to various nations around the world. However, America’s government is gradually working toward closing the debt and it looks as though it is working— for the moment.
The United States is a federal republic run under a presidential system.

This means that the United States’ government is made up of a federal state with a government and self-governing subunits. However, the United States is unique in that its leader (the president) does not hold absolute power and the country’s government is split into three different “branches (Executive, Judicial, and Legislative).” This is done so the United States cannot fall into a state of dictatorship. In addition, the United States believes in equal opportunity, so anyone who qualifies for the position can run for president and win if the voters vote said candidate into

office.
The United States is also called one of the most diverse countries on Earth. America is known for taking in immigrants from all over the globe and giving them the same opportunities as those native to the country. This has allowed the United States culture to be influenced by other nations due to an abundance of people from that country living in that part of the country (e.g. Chinatown, New York, NY). In addition, the United States is also the birthplace of social media, which allows people to communicate over the internet, which has allowed for the spreading of social interaction among people.
In conclusion, the United States of America is well within its Golden Age due to its brilliant intellectual achievements, fantastic medical, technological, and scientific contributions, and astonishing social developments. In addition to a rapidly growing economy and a political system that allows for equal opportunity for all citizens, the United States is well within its Golden Age and will likely continue to be in its Golden Age for generations to come.
