Advances in communication technology, such as the internet and cell phones, has created a worldwide culture that increasingly prefers English over local languages.  English is easier to type into a computer than Asian languages, for example.  At the same time, the cultural varieties of distant places such as India and Southeast Asia can be appreciated more in the Western world.  Restaurants featuring foreign food are prevalent across the United States now.

Technology has brought some medical advances, most notably in the expanded use of antibiotics after World War II.  Physicians say that most of medicine today was discovered in the past 65 years.  The modern inventions of the MRI and CAT scan have improved the ability view the human body, and treat illness.  Other modern developments, such as widespread vaccination and insecticides, are more controversial.  Preventive vaccination is credited with eliminating the terrible diseases of polio and smallpox, but other, newer vaccines are opposed by many parents.

Proposals to spend taxpayer money on embryonic stem cell research are controversial and open to much criticism.  In Germany, where the people experienced the horrors of the medical experiments connected with the Holocaust, the people are flatly against embryonic stem cell research.  Private investors show little interest in spending their own money on this even in the United States.  But a political movement linked to the [[abortion]] industry demands that taxpayer money be spent on this research, without any evidence that any good will ever come of it.  If embryonic stem cell research were so great, then why wouldn’t there be many private investors spending money on it?

The United Nations promotes abortion worldwide through its U.N. Fund for Population Activities.  Even though the world population will peak and begin to decline in the 21st century, the promoters of abortion continue to demand more and more killing of unborn children.  This is promoted using taxpayer money.  The United Nations also pushes its pro-abortion agenda through the World Health Organization (WHO).
