Why do Non-Americans care so much about what Americans do?

I can understand worrying about are greatness due to our govertment and how they're **** over the American people, but I never grasped why it is that they are so infaturated with us as a people?

I mean, I don't go around spouting "DURR WHY DON'T BRITS CARE ABOUT THE DAILY MAIL OR TUTION INCREASES" or whatever is not being done in some 3rd world shithole, seeing as how I have my own life to wworry about.

I just wonder why it is they are so "concerned" about what we do on a regular  day basis, I think jealousy might be a factor.

PrototypetheKid thread. Nothing to see here folks

The only thing I don't really get about the US is that it's a highly regarded first world country, but they are quite behind in the social issues department.
It just doesn't really match. 

Because when you are the world's biggest military and economic power, your actions tend to have a ripple effect on the rest of the world.

Cuz they set the example for us in terms of how advanced they became in major fields such as medicine.

Lots of power (we affect them)

Little wisdom (negatively)

because it's basically what we get from all the media we have all day long. your lives are always in front of us, we don't need to look for it.

A lot of Americans just seem to think the sun shines out of their a$$ really. But I hear it's not really your fault. You are brainwashed into thinking that.pspdseagle

yes, like every other country

America has a lot of power, money and a global influence. As the leading 'free' nation you should be setting standards worldwide.

it's also not really kicking.  And technically if you violated someone in the butt with your foot it would still be rape

America is a global superpower and when a country puts itself on the world stage so much it receives a lot of attention, both positive and negative.  It's as simple as that really. 

How about, why do people care so much about what other people do in general?

Its obvious, when we do things like poorly regulate our banks, they fail and it triggers a world wide recession that affects everyone.

Americans seem to care alot about what china does as well, for the same reasons... their actions have an effect on our economy.

I can't speak for other people but I'm interested in the U.S. (more than my own country, even) because it's the world's richest and most powerful country and whenever America sneezes, all of Earth catches a cold. Also, the fact that the U.S. is the world's largest culture and media exporter makes it very easy for people from other countries to pay attention to you.

Because Japanese people are better their american counterparts ... that is whyhippiesanta

I think jealousy might be a factor.
