Reader, growing up, we always had this argument on which countries were the strongest, and America always won. Young boys in JSS1-3, arguing the strength of soldiers and sometimes stumbling on google search results to back our points. I was in a boarding house, so access to phones was limited.

"It is America Joorh" was always the winning echo. Then we argued who would take the other positions amongst Russia, China, UK, etc.

I was in a lazy mood this morning and decided to see Tomorrow's War. Thank God for Airtel. I can now stream my Netflix and Amazon Prime; the last few weeks have been a mess because of MTN's poor internet data.

And I recognized a consistent subtle pattern in American movies—readiness to die for love, family, and country. Like, it is not unusual for you to see people sacrifice themselves for the good of many others in movies. They talk about their tech, healthcare, military, pride etc, and echo it repeatedly with different themes.

America has learnt to permeate culture and values using movies and is exciting to see.

Before Biden becoming President, people made a lot of statements on how the global force is unraveling because of the activities of trump. Still, in January, you could literally see the feeling of pride for the country swell on social media during the swearing-in.

Is there something to learn? Yes, media and PR can do wonders for your perception, which can attract value too.

What subconscious thought do you think you have about America? Reader, you want to think of something?
