I came across this question in the list of prompts, and I remembered talking about this with someone the other day. This is a very intriguing question for me to answer. There are many times when I do not want leave the USA, but there are some times when I do want to. The USA is a great country to live in. I love my country, and I plan on serving for it one day. The USA has its negatives though. It is a target, but most important, it is not as safe as many other places.
Two years ago I visited Europe with my aunt and cousin. I was only 13 at the time, and my cousin was only 14. In the USA, we can not walk around a town because it is not that safe. In Europe, we could walk where ever by ourselves. Europe would be a great place to live because of the safety. There it is safe to do what you want, and you do not have to worry about violence as much. Here we can not live like that. So for the question, "Would you like to live in another country?" the answer is no, but I would like to live in a safer USA.
That is good reasoning. You must remember that there are bad parts of Europe and that the places that you went were downtown and tourist hubs. These places are frequently targeted by terrorists and are not as safe as they seem.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely agree with you argument about the lack of safety in our country. I would like to explore the world, but I don't think I would want to live in another country most likely due to the lack of basketball.
