One negative aspects of the American system is the way capitalism effects college. For example, if somebody goes to college to be a math teacher, they are required to take other classes that don’t benefit their career. Those classes cost thousands of dollars and even though people can go without those class’s they still have to pay large amounts of money for classes they’ll never need in life. Another negative about the American system is their government. When it comes to democrats or republicans they act like they care about so many issues but fail to fix any of the issues they claim to care so much about. I understand you can’t fix things but you can at least try to make things better. I think a good example of this would be the difference in certain schools. I’ve been to around ten schools and the one thing I can say is that all schools are not treated equally and it has everything to do with money. When it comes to schools with wealthier children the government is more willing to give them money but when it comes to children in poverty it’s like they think ‘their already poor so what’s the point of helping them.’ Although their are a lot of negative aspects it does have a couple of good one. They try to make ways for people in poverty to live better by coming up with housing programs that allow certain people to afford homes. ((I hope this helped you in some way, I’m sorry if I write to much.))
