The Asian people are highly motivated. They are the better educated of the Americans,blacks, mexican people in the U.S. They strive to be the best and they are... look in any classroom. if there is one or two orientals there.. you can be sure that they are the top of the class

Americans seem to be less educated than those from other developed countries in the world.\n\nI could go on and on but frankly, Americans can stand to learn a lot more about everything, including Canada.

They're not less intelligent that the rest of the world, it's just that a lot of American people don't care about the rest of the world and know nothing about it, and this is why a lot of people say they're stupid. But I think they are just unaware of the world around them, and it's not a cliché, I say it because I've spoken to a lot of American people who ddidn't even know for example when Iraq is, when they've been on war with this country for more than three years.\n\nSomething else typical of American people is that most of them don't speak any foreign language and expect everybody, everywhere they go, to speak English. And although it's true that everywhere you go you'll find easily people who speak English, it's still better to speak the local language, people will find you more friendly and will be more friendly to you.\n\nBut this all doesn't make American people less intelligent than the others, I think they just need to open up.

evolution...in some parts of the world, maybe not in Asia, but some people are just getting out of the ape stage, and are now starting to use tools.  In Asia however they are a little more advanced, in small pockets of japan for example, some people have already developed appendages on there bodies such as palm pilots, and cell phones, thus making there dependency on separate electronics less, and making them far more advanced in the natural selection.

WWII and Hirosima and Nagaski bombing.\nWWII established US's superiority in the world, and A-bomb started the cold war, which shaped US policy for 50 years and caused the technological progress that we are enjoying today.

Americans.\nThey make the whole world work for them they get the most educated most qualified people to work for them.They make the whole world save for them.\nIn the process they amass wealth,true other nations benefit as well but that's peanuts when compared to what they are making.It's America America America.\nWith all the brains(?) Indians and Chinese struggle to make ends meet for a majority of there population.Apart from that Indians are lazy bones and chinese find themselves trapped under oppressive regime with no room for creativity and open thinking.\nIt's the final goods that matters.Note that there's been not a single  Nobel Laureate from independent India.Americans are swimming in Nobel Prizes.Chinese are a bit ahead in that front but again are stuck with communists.

Dont worry. As this world industrialzes and modernizes further the cultures that value education and knowlege will prosper. Those that do not will falter. Keep in mind we are on the cusp of two important revolutions; information sharing and energy. America and other developed countries have a lot to gain by improving the way people communicate and how we heat our houses, power our cars and travel around the world. We have only just begun to use science to improve our world. The things we will do in the future will make todays technology seem like the dark ages. So, dont be so fearful of the future. We have only just begun.

Because we are rich. If you're talking about game systems, then we do not get it first. Japan does.

I visited both countries in 1976 and found the Chinese to be very friendly & curious about Americans. The Japanese were extremely polite & reserved. They had more personal freedom & control of their destiny than the Chinese at that time. Both countries are extremely crowded, so their privacy is internal (their thoughts are private), but they accept other people to be very close physically to them. I found Asian people to be very loveable & likeable. I cannot choose one over the other, as they are both terrific.

i am only 19 years old and i guarantee i know at least 5 times as much as my parents knew back when they were in high school... as civilization changes so does technology...every year it gets more and more harder. in new york state you must have a regents diploma to graduate.. then again education is better in new york then most southern states.  \non the other hand ,japans technology far exceeds ours    we are months late. look at their cars for example     and gaming systems\nthe fact is our children will far exceed our learning capacity. look how smart todays todlers are. we look back at our parents technology and laugh   our kids or grandkids will do the same to us

The Australians are obviously more intelligent and advanced than the Americans. Lets pray to God to enlighten the foolish Americans!
