The Golden Age had a “pursuit of learning”. The 21st Century here in America allows us to have the opportunity to learn. The U.S also has a population within itself that contains many different cultures, ethnicities, and different kinds of people. America has much knowledge preserved in its borders because of all of the different types of people. We are a Melting Pot so to speak. Brought to this country through the other cultures have been the geometric shapes, patterns, and also many floral designs. This is how we are becoming artistically and intellectually stronger and achieving these things through the other cultures. Back in the Islamic Golden Age we saw many medical, technological, and scientific contributions. Now in this day of America’s Golden Age we are seeing that same thing happen. Hospitals are becoming more available and apparent in society, these establishments do us great justice if you haven’t noticed. Every day here in North America advances towards cures for specific diseases are being made. They may be small steps toward the actual cure but at least we are making an effort to save more of our people’s lives. When it comes to technology it almost seems like something new technologically is coming out every day. Phones, computers, appliances, etc. So as you can tell it is literally insane how fast these advances are taking place. Economy seems to be one of America’s either favorite or least favorite topic at times. But when it comes to the economy our economic systems are expanding. The natural resources we continue to find boost the expansion of our economy by other countries reaching out to us. This was also happening in the Islamic Golden age when it came to the trading networks.
There is not a whole lot I can say about our political system because in my opinion it has really reached anything to be worthy of a “Golden Age”. What I can say though is the political structure is improving. Our laws have advanced
