Stepping away from the movie scene, there is a particular TV show scene that really stood out to me. It comes from the TV show "The Newsroom" which is an american political drama . The scene "Why America isn't the greatest country anymore" questions the values of americans. it starts off in a lecture hall filled with college students. A girl ask a couple professors on the stage Why America is the best country in the world. One by one they say it is because of freedom, diversity, etc. When the main character gets asked, he explodes and says it isn't. This scene is so powerful because it test the values of the youth. The majority of people see us as the greatest even though we don't account for all the problems in our society. We ignore the negatives and take in the positives. The main character talks about these points and everyone is shocked from his speech.
