Looking to the Future, Public Sees an America in Decline on Many Fronts

International Relations Experts and U.S. Public Agree: America is Less Respected Globally

Trump‘s First Year: Everyone Hates Us Now (I recognize that this title alone feels really outdated, but the article points to the fact that concerns around U.S. decline were voiced before the Trump vs. Clinton Presidential election, plus the U.S. is still being regarded cautiously globally given its internal political division/strife and Trump still having plenty of diehard supporters, who represent a mindset to be reckoned with.)

What People around the World Like – and Dislike – About American Society and Politics

The Decline of U.S. Power?

Gallup: U.S. Position in the World

1. The fact that other countries/foreigners see the U.S. as a superpower on the decline. Many Americans believe so as well. What are your views on this matter? Support your stance with evidence, including that from Kitchen & Cox’s article.
2. How would no longer being a superpower impact Americans, on a macro level, as well as on a micro level? Consider the pros and cons in your response.
3. Do you agree or disagree with the sentiment that it‘s a problem that the U.S. may no longer be a superpower, and how so?
4. What was something new you learned from Kitchen and Cox’s article? How did they measure power and are you in agreement with them on this front? Explain why or why not. What are other ways a nation’s power can be measured?
5. Identify another article or video lecture (e.g., Immanuel Wallerstein) from a credible source that discusses the U.S. as a superpower and/or on the decline in light of more recent events, e.g., Trump’s impeachment. Provide a synopsis of the article, its citation, and your thoughts as far as whether or not you agree with the article’s analysis.
