I'm an Australian who travelled many times to America for work over many years. Like Cyrus I also found it amazing how "America centric" people are there, how ignorant they about other countries and hard it is to find news there on the rest of the world. It seems ironic to me that a nation whose government is so involved and focused on other countries around the world has a population at home with no interest in those same places.

I grew up in South Korea as a military kid. I came to the U.S. for college and was so confused and overwhelmed by all the differences I saw. In the small scale it can be humorous, but on the large scale I see pain, division, and anger.

Someone commented that this current young generation has the happiest photos and the saddest lives.

As a Chinese I can't understand why the US would want to destroy all its competitors. It's the competition that keep you moving forward, isn't it?

I left 30 years ago. I shake my head everyday. The US is like living in Medeival times.

I live in Spain and I pay for private health care. It's $67 per month at 36 years old. I have had an MRI, 10 doctor visits and mild surgery this year and it didn't cost me a penny more. Also waiting times were non existent. USA has a lot of problems.

America's Happiness Is Built on the Misfortune of Other Countries

[JS-ihlu]

If Americans travelled more, or even just had access to more truthful media of the outside world, they will be able to better reflect on the problems of their own society and find solutions to fix them, instead of focusing on trivial differences and shifting blame to faceless “others”.

[jairoquintanilla]

Someone here mentioned : "America's happiness is built on other countries misfortunes" i would say : " America's happiness is built on the misfortunes of the vast majority of its citizens"

[johnlundgren]

I left 24 years ago, Asia is the best place i have ever lived, so safe, kind people and if you are poor you are ok.

71-year-old American here. Cyrus, why did you come back to the USA after 15 years? This country is in DECLINE!

[davesskillet]

I lived in Europe for almost 20 years and Asia for 3 years when I returned in 2015 I did not recognize America. Returning was a shocking change. thanks for sharing.

[thomaswayne]

All true. I left the states in 2001. Bush V Gore broke me, you know? As a guide who’s been to more countries around the world than most, I wholeheartedly agree that people are the same everywhere. We just want a good life at the end of the day. This “us against them” narrative is pure toxic. Keep up the great work, Cy. This world needs you. Best wishes.

Sadly Canada is following the US footsteps. Our media is basically getting fed from the US media. Politicians, so many parties that is just a waste of time to even look at them. Our infrustructure is old and outdated. Homelessness, drugs and guns are are getting out of control.

The US is a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy.

[ForAllLifesAdventures]

This video is very clear and succinct but it captures your real character as you quietly, nonchalantly, walk about explaining complex issues so exactly. Thank you 🙏

[maitong]

I feel there is a silent majority in the middle that is struggling and crying for some true leaders to unite the country with honesty, kindness, and unselfishness. However, the election system is so out of date and not able to keep up with the need of the people, society and future.

[chelsea]

A lot of Americans live in silo. They still think they are the best country in the world. And yet other countries are shaking their head when they hear what is happening in USA nowadays.

[ZumaRoc]

Thank you. Most people in the US and Canada barely know what happens outside the country. People still ask me how I transported myself to Canada. I tell them, I came with the help of an Elephant.

As a Scot who has lived in the continent of Europe for about 30 years and just returned to the UK, I can see many of the same problems you have described happening in the UK. In my opinion it all started in the 1980s with Regan and Thatcher and the destruction of domestic manufacturing in favour of service industries.
