For much of the mid to late 20th century and early 21st century, the United States has had a fairly interventionalist foreign policy position, with military interventions in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Under the last Presidencies, US foreign policy has shifted towards more non-interventionalist, or isolationist, positions. This included the US withdrawal from Syria beginning in 2019, the US withdrawal from Iraq beginning in 2020, and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Isolationism is also associated with a withdrawal from multilateral and bilateral organisations, such as the US withdrawal from the Trade Pacific Partnership, the Iran Deal and the Paris Agreement.

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is a social and political movement which protests institutional racism, with a particular focus upon protesting racially motivated violence against African Americans by the police.
In 2020, parts of the BLM movement began campaigning for the defunding of police. If successful, defunding the police would mean that law enforcement budgets would be dramatically cut, with fewer police officers. Ideally, these budgets would be reallocated into public institutions.

Other parts of the BLM movement believe that the police should be abolished altogether. If successful, abolishing the police would mean that current law enforcement systems would be replaced entirely by alternatives to policing. These alternatives to policing may include a greater focus upon preventative measures, through public health initiatives and community-based organisations, and different approaches to conflict management, through, for example, community patrols or ‘peace officers’, specialist crisis response teams or community mediation.
The BLM campaign for defunding the police has had moderate success, with a number of American cities decreasing funding to law enforcement agencies, such as in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis.

The expectation to go to university refers to the pressure placed on children to attend tertiary institutions before entering the workforce. This pressure may be placed explicitly on children through education systems, political messages and families, and also implicitly through the operation of the job market, such that individuals without tertiary degrees are automatically overlooked.

A public display of religion includes explicit endorsements of religious beliefs, the use of religious rhetoric, the wearing or displaying of symbols of religion, and public attendance at denominational events. Politicians at times may use religion to appeal to their voter base, for example Donald Trump publicly identifies as Christian, and politicians in Muslim majority countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia often perform prayers before official speeches.
