Answer 1

Answer: Since the days of the Puritans, Americans have looked upon their nation as a city on a hill, which has a special mission to bring the moral superiority of American culture and democracy to the rest of the world. Americans have also often confused their moral attitudes with their self-interest in foreign policy. When Americans have aggressively pushed their values on others, they have often been greeted with resentment, as has generally been true with U.S. policy toward Latin America.
