Features: Throughout the 20th century, the United States has been a world power. After the Cold War, the sole superpower status it occupied can at least last for two or three decades. Today, the United States is China's important diplomatic rival and the largest external force affecting China's economic development and political stability. At the same time, the United States is China's largest trading partner, the largest investor in China, and the country with the most extensive exchanges with China in fields such as education, science and technology, and culture. Whether summarizing the historical experience of the 20th century, looking ahead to the future of the world in the 21st century, or analyzing China's international environment and drawing lessons from the experience of developed capitalist countries, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the United States and conduct in-depth research on it. This book is one of the "Contemporary America Series," carefully compiled to meet the needs of foreign exchanges and to provide a glimpse of American society. It gathers the wisdom of China's social sciences community to present the United States from all-round and multi-angle perspectives. With the aim of popularizing knowledge about contemporary American education and focusing primarily on objective introductions, the book also analyzes and comments on various aspects of American social life. The goal is to introduce readers to the situation of American society in a more comprehensive and objective manner. The book consists of ten chapters in total. A bibliography is provided at the end for readers to reference.
