Why do americans think that they are superior than anybody else?

I don't think the majority of this country has a superiority complex. Government might... ha ha. Americans are self-involved and don't seem to care what goes on in other parts of the world. That might fuel the superior stereotype.

They think whatever their governments and media has told them to think.  They think that all Americans blindly follow thier leader, and that American leaders are the only ones that lie to their people. They ignorantly think all of us are rich and that everything comes easily for all of us.

Not all Americans are this way just like in every culture there is good and evil.  We have some really great and giving Americans that have a good heart with intentions of being a positive force in this world.  Unfortunately the only people that get recognized are the evil ones.

i agree. American culture has such in influence on all other countries that they think they know us better than we no ourselves. Idiots oh and God bless America

I would agree, dont worry about these ignorant people that just want to think that they are superior, for instance sweet seduction, like Italy is any less poor than Mexico! Being poor does not make you a bad person, and being of a certain nationality does not make you automatically ugly or fat. People need to get over themselves, they have no reason to feel superior.

Because I'm superior to everyone else and if you don't acknowledge that then your inferior to me..

Americans are rude, lazy, selfish and arrogant.  Yes, we should keep out of other countries' disputes.  You wouldn't want someone whose life is screwed up telling you how to run yours, would you?  America is a mess.  We have no business telling others what to do.  We should stay home and clean house here.

they're basically jealous.  america is powerful, for some reason the rest of the world cannot separate the people from the govt.  and they don't like our govt.

Superior...to whom?  To yourself you may be a legend in your own mind but to actually believe you are superior...I can only imagine who you compared yourself to...the vagrants that plague society?  Superior one...there is a spell check seeing as your grammer is about as admirable as your attitude towards others.

It must be hard to be so superior to the rest of us huh ?

Ah, that is a very good question and has been asked since very old times. To answer it is very difficult but I shall try my best. \nPerhaps it is because we are not perfect. In second place, people love themselves more than their neighbor, but they trick themselves into believing that what they do is correct because it is them who are doing it ( here is a matter of EGO ). NOBODY, not even the most ferocious criminals think of themselves as being bad people. They justify themselves, let's say, like Hitler did. Hitler created an indeology to justify what he said and did. The curious thing is that in Nurenberg, when the top nazis were on trial, not one of them used Hitler's teachings to defend themselves

Other countries probably see us as snobby, stuck up, selfish peeps who brag and think we are above all others.

I would say people of every nation feel they are superior to all other nations.  Are people mature enough to treat men with respect and dignity - have you read some of the questions and answers on here lately - then you would no the answer to that one is a great big no - they can't.

There are always detractors out there.  When you are free, powerful, and relatively wealthy (collectively), there are some out there who will feel a certain degree of envy.  America has a myriad of problems, but it is still the greatest country in the world.  \n\nTough to argue with that one.

in order to satisfy one' ego one feels that he is superior to others and starts looking others as inferior to him.it will not stop there.another reason is we are conditioned to know that white is superior to black and begin hating the black people and love white skinned people. one more reason is if one group of people  is in possession of wealth, and power, it treats others as inferior to them.

No, its not just you though I can't blame them.  Our country, particularly our government, has an air of arrogance about it.  I suppose this stems from Americanizing other cultures and our self proclaimed "world police" status.  While these stereotypes do not apply to individuals, that perception of our nation as a whole bleeds into people's attitudes towards us on a personal level.

Who? Us? Well I never... Maybe because we think we are better. I don't because I think all people from all countries are cool. I was in the US Navy for ten years and met plenty of people from around the world. They all seem to have the same basic wants and needs and most are good people. I hope that you find more good Americans than bad because most of us are very good people. Sorry for the few bad ones you have run into. I am from Fort Worth, Texas and I promise that most Americans are not like that.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry S
