Recently I have been reminded of being a cosmopolitan so that I am going to travel all around the world much more by airplane than by car... This is an ingenious method to reduce the number of cars I use from my garage... Thank you very much!

How do contemporary Americans appear to foreigners and to other people in the world, respectively? Americans strive to learn... In fact they have huge results in space research such as the landing on the Moon or the participation in the International Space Station... Americans strive to believe and they strive to restore justice... Americans strive to be understanding in connection with minorities... Americans strive to be environmentally friendly - see the success story of the car maker Tesla... Americans strive to be healthy... Americans strive to create value by their work - see the Academy Awards... Furthermore in modern America you can be a woman or an African American or a homosexual without fear and without consequences...
But how did Americans become so open-minded? I think it was the prohibition of alcoholic drinks in the beginning of 20th Century that ironed American life-style... By taking away the illusion and the shallow joy caused by alcohol masses of Americans regained their intelligence, their human relationships and their dream... I think it happens seldom that a restriction makes a sense but the prohibition of alcoholic drinks was followed even in many other countries of the world...
Now that you have a clear mind you can prepare to the corrupting dangers of the future...
