Existing social problems in the United States

The United States is currently the only economic, technological and military superpower in the world. In the eight years since Clinton took office as president, the U.S. economy has continued to rise, with an average annual growth rate of 3.5%, per capita consumption rising by 36%, and nearly 35 million jobs created. The average income of Americans is among the highest in the world. The material life in the United States is very rich. But we also see another scene behind the prosperity, namely the various problems in American society. First, there is the huge gap between rich and poor. In the richest country in the world, you can see filthy homeless people begging on the streets in every city. You can see homeless people begging on the streets of New York's Chinatown, in subway stations, and at busy traffic intersections. The number of homeless people in New York City is increasing year by year. Secondly, there are security issues. The United States is a country governed by the rule of law. Generally speaking, social security is relatively good. No matter in the city or in the suburban buildings or houses, there are no anti-theft network facilities called "Guangdong characteristics". The most serious security problems are in black-inhabited areas, such as Harlem in Manhattan, New York, where ordinary people would not dare to enter rashly at night. In areas inhabited by Chinese people, in recent years, due to the large increase in new immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, and the misdeeds of individual black people, public security has become increasingly worrying. There are reports of Chinese being robbed in newspapers every day. . According to data provided by the U.S. Department of Justice, the total number of prisoners currently incarcerated in the United States reaches 1.983 million, accounting for 1/4 of the total number of prisoners in the world. It is the country with the largest number of prisoners in the world. In New York, there is a high-security prison next to the city government building, and there are long lines of people visiting the prison every day. Sex crimes are younger and more common, and school shootings occur more frequently.
