Pretty much the same top 10 problems that other countries face with a few exceptions where we'll swap one problem for another. |

As an outsider looking at the US, the biggest problems that English people would perceive America to have would be:
1. Gun control - Always seems like there's news stories of shootings and general controversy surrounding the law on guns.
2. Police brutality - It seems to get a lot more publicity in America than other countries. Is it because police are worse, or is it linked to the gun control issues, or maybe even media coverage making it more public than other countries might when they have incidents. _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.

Neither of these are among the biggest issues. Mass murder and murder in general are not at all time highs. Police brutality is a problem, but not as big as other issues even among minorities. |

1. Islamic Extremism
2. Alcoholism
3. Healthcare
4. illegal immigration
5. Mental illness
I think Alcoholism isn't being talked about as much as it should. It's a huge problem in this country and it leads to a lot of other things. |
