It's a super power...
So yeah.
I can only imagine though that this was supposed to be about "American Exceptionalism" that there is something about American Culture that is different
Which originally was as much an insult as it was a compliment, but now generally seen as a positive only. Like Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Now American Exceptionalism largely represents the fact that America was "self made" by immigrants and reflects the bit of "wild west" culture that still remains in us vs the Europe.
You can clearly see a culture difference between us and Europe, so i'd say that's another yes.
Now is it beneficial, benign or damaging.... as beneficial is usually the way modern American exceptionalism is used...
Hard to say... probably beneficial considering the US has stayed a superpower for so long. There seem to be some huge benefits to the "American" way of thinking based on just how far ahead our research and development gets ahead of others because of our willingness to monetize it.
One could argue that it leads to... and is leading to us "burning out." Although when you think about it... Empires aren't built to last anyway and it's not like other countries have been in a better situation when it comes to "burning out."
Even if Americanism is exceptional, it likely won't matter, based on how much has been borrowed from America and how things like advanced technology ends up benefiting all the other countries as well.
I'd have to say in the end though... probably, though it's hard to tell, what with all the very uneven situations the world finds itself in.
