2GLOBAL AMERICA
America was known as an insular nation as they were only concerned about their own
concerns rather than thinking about the cultures and the ethnicity of the people outside their own
country. However it must be noted that America is considered to be having a Global influence on
the different other parts of the Country. As per the opinion of Noe et al. (2017), America is
becoming insular day by day as they are giving up all the different security alliances that they are
having. In other words after the election of Donald Trump as the President of America there has
been a kind of declaration that America must not keep on investing so much of their money and
their resources in then security partnerships if they are receiving so less amount of help or returns
from them. As a result of this there have been orders that they are to remove or withdraw their
partnerships with the security channels. America is so instinctively insular yet it has such global
influence culturally and politically
Ryan (2018) have argued in the similar context that there are still several doubts based on
the outcomes of these decisions. There can be both advantages and also the disadvantages out of
this decision. This is because the there is a huge chance that America might run the risk or the
danger of some nuclear wars in the future. In such perilous times America would not be able to
get any security or any kinds of support from the alliances.
It must also be noted that there will be the formation of the nuclear states in a very responsible
way and Americans are also getting a huge amount of encouragement from their President to
develop nuclear states.
However it must be understood in this context that if there is the breakout of nuclear war
in the coming future then there will be a huge problem for all. This is because of the fact that

there are no good aspects or any kinds of advantages that can be gained by any people out of the
warfare or the nuclear wastes. Thus it can be said that there will be several risks that people
might face if the insulation of America is actually taking place at such a rapid manner. However
at the same time, it must be noticed that America has been able to make their culture popularized
among different parts of the world. They have made sure that people in different parts of the
world are able to remember the culture of America not only because of the creativity but also
because of the business and the trade and the commerce hat has been generated by the American
economy. Abel et al. (2019) have stated in this similar context that one if the good example of
the power and Globalization of the American culture is the fled o Hollywood films. The majority
of the reasons behind the success of Hollywood films is founded but the immigrants. This is
indeed one of the very good aspects as the arrival of the immigrants has always been able to
bring in a confluence of culture to the land. This confluence of culture has been able to find its
way in the field of art, culture and film are one of the most prominent and significant aspect of
the same.
Globalization by America is also seen in the field of gaming and technology. This is
because American concept of games and computing programs have been able to popularize
themselves in a way that it is hard by any other countries in the world to imitate the way. It must
be noted that the computing platforms and the gaming influence have become one of the major
influences in the modern day scenario that helps in connecting people of one area to the other. A
good example in this field can be the Grand Theft Auto. This is one of the most ooluar cideo
games in the word that was developed and launched in Edinburgh. This game is however played
in those cities that are American origin. This is not because of the fact that America is one of the

very huge countries but it must be noted at the same time America is also one of the most
popular cultures and also a Global visual language.
America has been able to work very hard in the field of education and is as well. This is
because they have been able to invest a good amount of money towards the foreign aids. The
USAID budget this year is $20 billion (Ingram, Johnson & Moser, 2016). Clemens and Kremer
(2016) have argued in this connect that as per the opinion of Trump America is not to pay any
heed to the neighboring countries or to form any kinds of alliances. However at the same time it
must be noticed that they have not withdrawn their practice of investing in the field of education.
Global poverty is one of the major aspects where America has been able to show some
significant contributions and active participation. No other country has been able to play any
significant role in the eradication of poverty like that of America (Gutberlet, 2016). Therefore it
can be said that America is still trying to keep up with the maintaining of their Global influence
by taking care of all the different Global issues that are going on around in different parts of the
world. Tahrir Square revolution in Egypt has also made sure that American schools and
Universities have been significantly playing their parts in shaping the future of the World
(Ravallion, 2017). This is because majority of the leaders were either US or they had been
educated in some of the American University in Cairo.
Therefore it can be concluded that America is being able to maintain their Global influence
inspite the fact of their inclusion. They have been playing some very prominent roles in different
parts of the world.
