The United States of America is a beautiful country with an incredibly strong basis in freedom, independence, and loyalty. Americans are fiercely committed to their homeland, and they have a genuinely deep love for the place they are from. There are many great things about America, but every single country has negative things about it, and America is no exception.

Keep reading for 10 egregious mistakes the US is making.
Extreme Addictions
No, not to drugs or alcohol (although that is an issue as well). Americans, especially teenagers, have an extreme addiction to technology, entertainment, and celebrities.
Dating Culture
People no longer date in America. They insult each other perpetually, and harass one another via email, Facebook, and text. Relationships fall apart faster than they did 50 years ago simply because no one knows how to properly converse anymore.
The Police Force
Police are trained way too quickly and militarized far too much. They have an excessive amount of power, and not enough oversight. This has resulted in multiple killings, seemingly motivated by race, and not much else.
High Obesity Rate
Over 40% of the American population is classified as “obese.” This means that they are unnaturally overweight – not just “naturally bigger boned.”
Culture Of Violence
The United States has an obscene amount of murders, hate crimes, and racist attacks; especially for a country that claims to promote equality, tolerance, and freedom.
The Rate Of Debt
Household debt is at an all-time high in the United States. And what does everyone do? Pretty much ignores it.
Hollywood
Honestly, the fact that these people are placed on a pedestal for being mediocre actors/actresses or for being better-looking than others (in Hollywood’s own standards) is atrocious. Americans need to think for themselves, instead of letting Hollywood do it for them.
“Smart” Phones
The phones may be smart, but the people using them seem to be the opposite. People in America spend more time on their phones than with their friends, and spend more time taking pictures for Instagram or Snapchat than making actual memories.
Lack Of Individuality
Americans are constantly talking about being individual, but it only really applies in the way that they dress. When it comes down it to it, we all generally speak the same way, take part in the same activities, and watch the same types of TV shows.

Lack Of Boundaries
Americans tend to get so upset when the thought of the NSA going through their texts comes up, but they literally divulge the details of their personal lives to anyone who will listen.
