BNW vs. America

One of the main comparisons that I see between BNW and America is the amount of consumerism. We in the United States are stereotyped as people who only want something until it's ours. We will go and buy, buy, buy and in the end we only end up with a house full of useless junk. Just as in BNW where they can only create a new game if it has more parts than the one before it. Another comparison that can be made between BNW and America is the amount of technology going on. We in the United States like new technology although not necessarily the research that goes behind it. We want our products to be made faster and easier through the use of technology and are most excited when some new gizmo comes out. Such as the XBOX 360. This ties back into consumerism but on it's own the research part of the development of new machinery is not very glorified in our community. Just as in BNW where figuring things out on your own is prohibited. The third thing comparison that I see between BNW and America is the individual. Most of the students in my school do not really care about anyone but themselves. An example of this would be the interactions between clicks and even between the students in those clicks. No one has much allegiance to anybody. They may be your best buddy bud one minute (yes a literal minute) but the next minute they might be talking trash behind your back. Now, I do not think that the trash talking happens in BNW but "everyone belongs to everyone else." There is no allegiance to anyone as you can read when they make a feely out of John whipping himself: allegiance is given only to the state. Which thank goodness in the US we do not have that problem because as you can see complete allegiance to the state can sometimes end up in a situation that most of us think is horrible.
