The European economy, on the other hand, is and has been strong in the way the GDP, as well as job security, is always on the point for the care of the European citizens. Europe has however seemed to lose the political influence in term of being a superpower hence the state has its meaning on the verge of discussion whether Europe can gain back the former glory to be the world superpower. This paper seeks to discuss the differences in the ways Europe has been in the decline of superiority as the Americans have taken over and by the use of the two nations worldviews in terms of economy we can be able to assume clearly indicate the problems experienced by the two distinct and yet supportive worldviews (supportive in terms of the power they seem to be generating for both countries) (Leonard, 2011).

There is the aspect of an addition of rising nations such as the chines and the Indians who have a likelihood of taking over word superpower and rule the world though disputable yet unproven. The two distinct nations also have their problems and challenges in their preferred worldview and discussion on the reforms or the needs in the views are also an aspect of the paper. The workers have been protected in the policies of the nation so as to keep their jobs and there is an offered of the high retirement benefits. European view is that sharing of the nation properties for equality brings in more happiness and the economy is concentrated on food security and health.

Socialist idea has been in the use in Europe but the problem is that it is leading to high taxes in the country which does not really benefit the country’s economy but rather lowers it as it has seen the country’s GDP decrease gradually over the past century in comparison to American economy which has greatly risen to the position of becoming a superpower (Leonard, 2011). The security offering in terms of high retirement benefits has seen the rise of early retirements as the nation is not willing to work for long considering there is security even if one is not working in contrary to the capitalist nature of economy in us where the worker has to extend the working time as well as the required time bearing in mind that the government is not responsible for the individual fate but everyone has an initiative and his or her efforts counts towards his or her fate.

The population is working less and taking longer vacations whereas the American population is working harder and more hours to ensure individual prosperity which also increases the economic development of the country. The military budget also seems to be increasing as the method of leaving enemies in the takeover makes them a point of interest for attack meaning the need to be more innovative and to be aware of the coming threats which seems to be surrounding them requiring them not to sleep due to the power but to keep on working towards better development so as to be safe. Individual need for development as there is no space for inequality has seen a triose in the GDP of the American nation and has led to greater income as well as cutting-edge technology innovations which does not seem to be taking a break anytime soon meaning the taking over of the second half by the European nation is just but a notion but will not be possible as far as the recent history prediction is concerned (Alberto & Francesco, 2008).

Europe believes in an increase of happiness with inequality in place, choice increase as well as larger welfare as compared to the Americans who believe that happiness is self-dependent and one’s wealth is searched for the form it to bring happiness to the owner. The difference in the wealth status does not seem to disturb the American worldview as everyone should deal with his or her problems accordingly as ones prosperity is his or her own to celebrate hence do not believe in inequality at all. Europe, therefore, will not run the 21st century as their method of gaining power over the world is slow and passed by times. The changes observed according to past history are remarkable but the development is slow in terms of power gain.

There is the need for better incentives as the takeover was developed for the longtime basis but emerging treads needs a quicker position in the gain bearing in mind other nations like China and India are also eying the position and need and are becoming more innovative and tactful in the power gaining processes (Leonard, 2011). Social, economic as well as political [power are all requirement of the power gaining processes as leaving one behind will be dangerous as catching up will need time and resources spent for it to be on the same level. The political influence of the European nation which has been on constant fall requires a boost and the shying of the nation to be on the spotlight will not only mean failure as it is less influence capable but it means total wipeout in terms of the economic developments as well as technological innovation.
