Salut,
Je vous rassure:tout le monde n'est pas d'accord avec elle.Il
est vrai que votre système judiciaire n'est pas très
juste,mais vos films sont plus qu'excellents.Quand on va regarder
des films au cinémas ce ne sont que des films américains.Je
ne pense pas non plus que l'on doit vous jugez sur votre population
qui atteint les 90 pourcent,mais on doit plutot critiquer la mégalomanie
de la nourriture et de leur fast food.Bref je pense que votre
pays est un peu trop développé et qu'il a tendance
a trop vouloir etre supérieur aix autres.
Il est vrai que nous avons émis une critique sur votre pays,cependant quelques unes de nos affirmations sont tirées de sources qui proviennent des médias.Dans les banlieues, les jeunes s'inspirent plus du caractère violent de vos séries que d' autres choses.Et c'set pour cela, que nous avons une certaine opinion des Etats-Unis .Cependant, l' image que nous donne la T.V de votre pays,nous laisse assez sceptique! Nous avons quelques questions:
- Les images des U.S nous sont données par la presse, les actualités , les faits divers;est-ce la véritable identité des U.S?
-Pourquoi pensez-vous que la police américaine est la meilleure au monde? Expliquez-vous.
-VOus parlez d' étroitesse d' esprit et à la
fois de meilleure police au monde, pourquoi vos ponts divergent-ils?
Dites nous les raisons pour lesquelles vous avez deux opinions
différentes.
Hi from the US,
We are responding to the questions posted by e.chouka.
-We feel that we have been misrepresenteed or that there has been a mistake in the ideas that we have conveyed. The US isn't as superficial as one might say that it is. The only way to get to know the real US is to try to understand us better. We may appear to be superficial, but in all actuality, I bet that we have mroe in common than you might think. . .
-Next, I would like to say that we might have a good police force, but we don't think that it is the best int he world. There are several countries that are just as good as we are if not better, and use different means of enforcing the laws which are equally effective. All the movies that you have seen about police in the US provide an easy way for you to conceive a misconception.
-It is a normal feeling to have opinions about a subject that vary from student to student in a class. Personally, I think that it really depends on the student who you are speaking to. If you look at the responses which you have written, you might see that there are different opinions amongst yourselves as well. No one has exactly the same beliefs and nor should they, diversity is interesting.
I hope that our answers have helped out a little bit and I
hope we have cleared up the situation which originally had you
confused. Thanks a lot and good bye from the US!! Noah
SALUT!!! We here feel confused and upset that you believe our country to be at such low standards. Have we really sent such a message to our fellow Earth inhabitants? I question you though, if you have ever really visited the US?! If you have I shall respect and understand your opinion. However, if you haven't, I shall know that American media is the true source of your disgust.
The United States is beautiful! We have magnificent seasons and a variety of climates! We have colorful deciduous falls in the Berkshires. Rolling hills and fresh meadows. In our southern states we have pretty beaches and wide oceans on bboth sides of out continent. Alaska, with its grand moutains and cold temperatures, is an example of our winter beauty. The mid west is full of vast fields that stretch farther than you can ever see! Our country is a beautiful example of nature.
Our people are friendly and joyous. We have festivals and holidays. Mardi Gras in Louisiana is a wonderful representation of your culture. We have a great diversity in our peoples. In our cities French, Spanish, Italian, German, English, Polish peoples play great parts.
As for our politic policy and economy, we stand as a protector
and "police man of the world." We support and aide many
countries. We call for independence and liberty of any oppressed
people. For example, we took great part in several wars in Bosnia,
Kosovo and the mid-east. Our economy also is thriving and leading
the world in business. Our Dow Jones Industrial Average in New
York, for example, is much ahead than your CAC-40 in Paris. I
don't mean to brag, I'm just trying to say that our countries
are not that different. We are not all that bad!! So please, tel
me, HAVE YOU EVER VISITED THE US PERSONALLY??? IF SO, WHERE DO
YOU GET YOUR NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FROM??? Your Personal American
friend, Michael. Au Revoir!
Noah, Ton message m'a ouvert les yeux, je suis désolée
pour le message excessif que je vous ai écrit précédemment(ce
n'était pas ma seule opinion) .Je partage réellement
ton point de vue et avoue m'être précipitée
sans aucun recul.Ainsi, pour en revenir à ton message,
j' aimerais pouvoir à mon tour te renseigner sur la police
française: celle-ci est compétente (particulièrement
les gendarmes) mais certains sont "véreux" car
il est vrai que personne n' est parfait!Par ailleurs, j' apprécie
le fait que tu penses que chaque étudiant ait sa propre
opinion: c'est une forme de maturité que l' on ne retrouve
pas dans tous les messages . good bye de la France et du "93".
Sana
salut ,la réponse à nos questions de la part
de Michael est tres decevante .En revanche celle de Noah est plus
objective et moins chauvine.Il est vrai que nos pays se ressemblent,de
part les diversités:culturelles,économiques,ethniques,politiques,geographiques,religieuses.
HI!!! Nous voulons dire à Michael qu'il n'a pas répondu
comme on le souhaitait à nos questions.En effet,il n'a
exposé que les cotés positifs des Etats-Unis,sans
donner les réponses objectives que nous souhaitions...
En revanche,Noah a été plus constructif dans les
réponses qu'il nous a données sur les Etats-Unis...
Personnellement,nous ne sommes jamais allées aux Etats-Unis;nous
ne faisons que lire des magazines et regarder la télévision
traitant de ce sujet.Votre amie française ELHAME!
I would first like to say that I don't mean to offend you or anything, it's just that I don't understand why you portray such an evil shadow onto our country. I don't know if I'm such a "fanatical patriot," or "chauvin." (Heck, I wasn't even born here!)
But you have answered my question as to how you are getting
this negative attitude. YOu say that you have never visited the
US but read and believe that which you read in magazines. Media
is a conrtolling power and let's you know what they want you to
know. They usually greatly exaggerate facts to make them more
intersting. Yes, there is a large percentage of people that are
obese, but the majority is not! We also have drugs and alcoholism
but we try our best to keep those suppressed and the public safe.
By only reading magazines and watching TV you are not experiencing
the full beauty and potential of the American people. A bientot!!
