The answer to this question is really a matter of opinion. There is no way that we can objectively say whether it is more appropriate to call the US the world’s “democratic example,” or the world’s “policeman.” As the article in the link below shows, people typically say that, since WWII, the US has been and continues to be the world’s policeman.

The answer to this question is really a matter of opinion. There is no way that we can objectively say whether it is more appropriate to call the US the world’s “democratic example,” or the world’s “policeman.” As the article in the link below shows, people typically say that, since WWII, the US has been and continues to be the world’s policeman.
Most people say that the US has been the world’s policeman because the US tends to take it upon itself to right perceived wrongs. The US has done things like trying to end the fighting in the former Yugoslav republics. It has led a coalition to push Iraq out of Kuwait. Because the US has been the world’s major free superpower (during the Cold War) and the world’s only superpower (after), it has often been put in the position where it is expected to try to fix the world’s problems. Therefore, I would tend to say that Option A is the correct answer. However, I strongly suggest that you check your class materials to see what answer your instructor expects to see because this question is a matter of opinion.
