In a nationally televised program that discussed American and Canadian values in the light of the recent election, Eileen Trzcinski, associate professor, Social Work, discussed Americans\' psychological need to be the \"World Best,\" and Number. She said this need limits serious debate about the country's difficulties. While our health care system has serious problems, for example, we still know that it\'s the \"best\" and we refuse to even consider the possibility that we could learn from others. This comment was tied into the question of why so many Americans are considering immigration.
