Concept of 1840s, highlights the
freedom enjoyed by people in terms of revolutionary ideas and human
rights inherited in the constitution of the USA with its focus to
promote private property rights in the economy. These exceptionals
or exclusivity, made the USA to be a unique and exceptional country
in that time period. Today, there are different nations, economies
and culture that promote freedom and innovation and civil rights.
So, the aura of exceptionalism is now limited for the USA. But, it
is still a country with many firsts and a place for people to
realize their dream.
As a first country, the USA is the top promoter of innovations,
advancements and creativity, reflected by the largest number of
patents being registered in the USA. It is the country that selects
a black president, even the country has majority of the white
population. The country still boasts the civil rights and freedom
of orientation given to the people of the country. Besides, the USA
plays an important role in resolving global issues. Though, some
issues remain due to the suspicious military interventions, racial
cases against the black and other minority communities and other
civil rights issues. Recent development towards the America first
policy also does not help the cause. So, in today’s context, the
USA is exceptional in a limited extent.
