We still have a lot of work to do in American culture. More open-mindedness is happening - in some cases rapidly, in some, slowly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yes, we've still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.
It's fantastic that the world is becoming more open to different ways of working, but we still have a long way to go in terms of changing perceptions.
Like so many Americans, I am sick and tired of watching the rapid decline of our culture right in front of our eyes.
We've switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that's really entertainment-based.
It is increasingly important to be open-minded.
People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they're all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error.
A lot of America's success is because we're an open society and haven't brought dogma or religious influence into the American political process.
I think we've built a bit of a culture and a market around people who are open and seek out that social interaction.
I've always felt that Americans are very in the moment. There's not so much melancholia and mystery as there is in France. Everything must be understood. Everything must be analyzed.
America still has the right stuff to thrive. We still have the most creative, diverse, innovative culture and open society - in a world where the ability to imagine and generate new ideas with speed and to implement them through global collaboration is the most important competitive advantage.
