People share 'very American problems' that many Americans don't realize are unique to the U.S. What we see as "normal" is not normal everywhere.

Seeing major aspects of American life that are not realities in other countries, especially other wealthy, developed nations, is wild.

"Guns. So many guns. So much gun violence. Just not an issue in other countries." "Active shooter drills for kids in school. Bullet proof backpacks." "The American culture of gun violence is unmatched in the developed world" "Knowing they're not "normal," only normal for Americans , might give us an extra push to advocate for what we really want".
