Perhaps foreign culture so that American children are taught to be more understanding of other nationalities and such. I feel that quite a few Americans don't really have much knowledge of what life is like outside their own country and it astounds me that so many feel no need to travel abroad to discover other nations. I think a better understanding of foreign culture would strengthen business ties, help prevent war and ultimately be very beneficial to the US and the rest of the world.

How to choose a good President and then they might influence the UK in how to choose an equally good Prime Minister and not the other half of Laurel and Hardy impersonators. Sorry I am a Laurel nd Hardy fan but I can't think of a pair of clown that sum up our joint leaders.

We used to have a subject called Social Studies when I did school in India in the 70/80's- It is a good way to understand both Geography, History, and culture of any particular place in the world, and the US has to address the ignorance of the average American Joe. Oh the US has much to do. It's alight, as the saying goes, the Higher you are the farther you fall, and after a low there is bound to be a High for you guys. ... Good Luck, and Enjoy the Journey.

"What it is like to live in a country other than U.S.", complete with month long trips to other countries. Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen. But it might stop many Americans from being stuck up.

The Rest of the World. With honourable exceptions, America is startlingly ignorant about the rest of the world. After being at war with Iraq for three years, 60% of Americans could not point to Iraq on a map of the world. I would not have been surprised if the got the wrong country in the right area (e.g. Iran, Syria) - but the favourite choice was apparently Austria. Equally, most Americans do not realise how rich they are compared to the rest of the world, nor how many there are of the very poor. Again, they have very little idea of what Muslim beliefs really are, and the side spectrum of beliefs in Islam: very few Muslims are Taliban-style fanatics. Generally, more knowledge of the rest of the world, so that America's power was used more wisely.
