I believe that the pros barely outwiegh the cons, but eventhough Americans almost wiped out a civilization of people and enslaved, and later segregated, a group of people just because of their skin color, this country is on the way to having true equality. For example, America gives education to every child. A person who works hard enough can now be anything they want to be, no matter what their financial or family situations are.

I believe that certain classes in school don't give students any room for creative expression. There are a few classes that consist of long, boring bookwork, but if you take the right classes you can find teachers that appreciate and encourage creativity, and assign projects etc. that require imagination.
