America has gone beyond ethicality. Education is not lacking in ethical behavior, although it is lacking in morality. Children know too well what is good and what is bad. If parents were to fail in teaching so, the entire system will take care of teaching it. America has gone so far by making law enforcement greater every day, that it is becoming unethically ethical. When all is enforced, all actions are watched, and everyone is afraid. When people are afraid, they become violent.

Edward Novoa graduated with a master of arts degree from Pratt Institute, NY, in 1992. He has been a life-long entrepreneur and international designer.After traveling 25 countries and living in three, he was intrigued by the singularity of American culture. Ethics, philosophy, religion, and capitalism are some of the topics that are discussed in a fluid narrative illustrated with film analysis, storytelling, and a thorough research on scholars and writers. Shocked as an immigrant, he decided to write his insight on very tangible contradictions.He has raised his voice against populism in Latin America, especially in Mexico, where a socialist dictatorship is trying to take over the Mexican democracy. With a clear and philosophical discourse, he has contributed to uncover to the public the dark inspirations of the government. He has been interviewed by several news programs and his political analyses have been broadcasted in different media outlets.

    This is an incredible book, with so much insight, that only a fresh immigrant can observe. It is a masterpiece of self-consciousness and sociology that will help change our society for the better. Every American will learn something from this self-portrait that we are not able to see. Two thumbs up!

  • John Strauss

    Excellent read. The author describes thoroughly how an excess of laws and law enforcement are drifting people away from each other because nobody wants to be liable. American society is becoming a lonely one, we are becoming anxious without knowing why fear is constantly appearing in our lives, but it has to do with making mistakes and being blamed by others. We need a society that fosters security and affection.

  • Gabriela Cuevas

    I think it portrays with fidelity what the American society is facing nowadays. This book makes us reflect on the path human nature has taken and the direction which we are headed. I could not put the book down!

  • Camila

    I did not know that Calvinism was the origin of American churches. It's interesting to understand that our society inherited from religion its principles, and that they are different from catholic countries. This explains how we can be so different from Latin American countries. I definitely recommend this book.
