  You sa Ohio State ’s Chip on the Shoulder: Why Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin Are Poised to Respond Ohio State enters the heart of its season with growing scrutiny, and while the Buckeyes remain one of college football’s most talented teams, recent events have created a sense of dissatisfaction within the program.

  Why the Idea of American Exceptionalism Persists American exceptionalism is a term often used in historical, academic, and cultural discussions to describe the perception that the United States holds a unique place among nations. This concept does not imply superiority but rather reflects how the country’s development, values, and global role have shaped its identity.

The United States was founded on principles emphasizing individual freedoms, constitutional governance, and representative democracy. These ideals were distinctive at the time of the nation’s founding and have continued to influence its political culture. The belief that a country can be guided by a written constitution and an emphasis on individual rights has contributed to ongoing discussions about America's role in the world. Economic innovation has also played a significant role. Throughout its history, the United States ha...
