The New American Exceptionalism

The New American Exceptionalism refers to the idea that the United States has a unique role and responsibility in the world, particularly in promoting democracy, freedom, and human rights. This concept suggests that America’s history, values, and principles set it apart from other nations, often leading to an emphasis on its leadership in global affairs. However, the term also reflects critical debate about whether this perspective can sometimes overlook the country's shortcomings or the complexities of international relations, prompting discussions about how America's exceptionalism should be understood and applied in today's interconnected world.
