UK Credit Cards

It is easy to understand why larger, wealthier, older, or more powerful states obtain their pride. Top class nations such as the US, UK, Japan, and so forth have a variety of sources of pride (successful democracy, economic/military power, historical significance) and even regional powers and fast growing economies can also have obvious sources of pride.

But what about third world nations? The ones who produce gruesome stories of genocide, or famous for the failed corpes of attempted republics. The nations which completely depend on foreign aid and can be bullied at will by the powers. Where does their pride come from? It can’t come from historical significance, (usually) as many had their borders randomly drawn by Europeans and thus lack common history. They obviously can’t get it from having a functional political or even infastructural system.

Yet somehow, just somehow, these poverty stricken people are somehow able to kindle a small fire of national pride. How do they do it?

Is the tide turning?

The U.S. is still has the world’s best economy, but anyone can tell that it is steadily losing that spot. All the people around the world look at the U.S as if it is the ultimate destination for them – students, workers and a whole lot of other people. If not the U.S., then U.K.

But don’t you think that this trend is slowly falling down? “What goes up must come down” I think this is what is happening today. The rest of the world is becoming stronger and stronger and there may be a day when the U.S. may no longer hold its coveted spot. People may look at other countries with the same eyes they look at the U.S. today. What do you think?
Oh sorry I completely forgot about the UK at the end of my question. But still the point is the same. Will today’s economic powerhouses collapse sometime in the future?
