The Changing Face of American Society: How Rising Political and Social Divisions Are Affecting the Global Perception of Americans Abroad
The rise of political and social divisions in America is significantly impacting the lives of Americans living abroad. As the country’s global image deteriorates due to increasing polarization, racial and religious intolerance, and internal strife, expatriates face heightened scrutiny, discrimination, and challenges in their host countries. This shift in perception not only affects social and cultural interactions but also has economic and safety implications for Americans abroad. The once admired “American Dream” is now overshadowed by a global narrative of a nation in crisis, posing new challenges for the American expatriate community.
