Question: In your opinion, is America still a "city on a hill" as described by John Wintrhop in "A Model of Christian Charity?"
Before I decide is America a city on a hill, I have to know, what is a city on a hill mean?
I think it is a big term and I have a difficulty to describe in these few lines, but I will try to summarize as possible as I can.
What are the requirements of any city to be a city on a hill? I think there is a lot of things that make a city is a city on a hill. But I think it's different from one person to another. Everyone has his opinion about what is the city on a hill looks. In my opinion, a city on a hill must has a civilization and a heritage. It should not has economic slump, disputation, and no corruption.
Is a city that all people help each other to achieve their goals and those have great attitude and work with each other as one man. In my opinion, to be a city on a hill this city must has unique culture, weather, and situation.
In addition, people of this city must entertain each other in brotherly affection, no discrimination, crime, robberies and a bias.
A city that most people look to it as model of the best cities in the world.
Evolving is not enough to say that city is a city on a hill. There is a lot of things we have to consider when we say that.
Ultimately, if you think the USA has most of these things, so it is a city on a hill.
And the postscript:
