The Decline and Fall of Declinism
"U.S. influence is in steep decline," Post global section of the Washington post. Which is an article that lets the people know the new decline that the United sates has been going through. In the early 1990's people believed that the U.S. and Soviet Union were the head war leaders, and Germany and Japan were the economic leaders. The decline of the U.S. war power slipped when they were unable to control the spread of communism. The United States proved early predictions wrong and rose over time to become the leader in economic power. China had become the closet threat to the U.S. power of economics. The rise and success of the U.S. economic power was due to the American worker. Information and technology in the U.S. economy is progressing global productivity. Also, history has shown that is able to hold its power. The two major struggles that were faced in recent times were 9/11 and Katrina. Un-seen horrific events that the U.S. was able to pay for and pull itself out of. "Globalizationis just another word for Americanization." Dell and HP are now the leading power of the computer world, and now the U.S. is the leading power in economic, military, and monetary power and will continue to flourish.
