AMERICA

2006-07-13 01:57:21 · answer #1 · answered by brendag38@verizon.net 1 · 1 2

I live in Europe and I like it for the pluralism: Avannae is wrong, obviously never had been here: there are lots, but lots of people from different nationalities living in the continent, Africans, Asians, Americans - mainly from Central and South America, Arabs, Jewish, etc. I love Europe because every little place has so much to say, is full of tradition, culture and tolerance.

About US, I do not know. I visited your country 6 times minimum, and found many positive sides that I adore, other ones less nice. I suppose that everywhere is the same, no one place is perfect.
I believe the US is a beautiful country that has a beautiful dream. I wonder how many of those beautiful ideals of freedom and equal opportunities are left right now....

I'd like to give Europe a try, or at least Canada.
The gap between rich and poor is widening in America (many don't see it), the prudishness is tiring (some radio stations bleep out the word 'damn'!!), science is treated as an elite form of superstition (rather the respect it receives elsewhere), there's increasing negativity towards hispanics recently and the emphasis on traditional values is smothering.

i'm an American and characteristic lived in 2 ecu international places. I completely believe with the previous posters have informed you about getting a artwork visa. i will purely upload a pair of issues. American larger training is impressive. for my section, you've a extra perfect journey and get a extra perfect training at an common American college than an common ecu college (that's purely my opinion, i'm efficient many ought to disagree). Does your college have a study in yet another us of a application or sister college in Europe? that ought to grant you with a flavor of existence right here. in case you bypass it on my own, except you bypass to the U.ok., your thoughts for pursuing your training in English will be constrained. i imagine once you've a lengthy time period objective of shifting to Europe, you would possibly want to judge considered a spread of tutorial heritage and career that ought to likely get you right here. maximum expats (i'm considered one of them) look to have careers in finance (accounting, banking, etc), consulting, coaching (both coaching any problem in an American or global college or coaching the locals English), go back and forth (lodges, lodges, etc.), or militia (to then artwork with a contractor or base help). Then they arrive to Europe with an American company (so the corporate receives them a visa). regardless of the indisputable fact that, a lot of those foreign places contracts in ordinary words very last 2-5 years. you'll locate web pages (see some lower than) that can help handbook you to a career as an expat. I do sense like Europeans in complete-time jobs artwork fewer hours than human beings (yet no longer frequently decrease than 8 hrs/day). yet once you're operating for an American company in Europe, the corporate subculture has a tendency to be the same. And the hours must be distinct from an American workday, like Italians and Spaniards who do not artwork for 2-4 hours contained in the afternoon (so that they could artwork from 8-1pm and then back from 5-8pm). My family individuals is extremely happy with the existence sort right here. that's been out journey that existence isn't as harried right here and individuals are not as aggressive in a lot of issues (like what number extracurriculars you could signal your children up for). strong success!

The United States. Europe is a great place to visit, there are so many wonderful things there. But, I would tire of the tiny cars that you have to pay $4.50 a gallon in gas to drive. I find that a lot of Europeans can be pretty gloomy as well (at times better than the loud obnoxious American, but at least there's space to distance oneself from such a personality in the states if need be).

Also, I think there's too much government control in Europe. They decide based on tests what schools you go to, they set up their inefficient health care system and take an extra 10% out of your paycheck to pay for it, etc. And I wouldn't like the parlimentary system. They get to choose when and under what conditions elections take place. And there's so many more political parties; you simply can't keep them all straight.

Europe.

If money were no object, I believe I'd like to live in Switzerland, specifically Geneva. It may be both the most lovely and the most expensive city on earth.

In real life, though, I'm satisfied to be where I am, warts and all. The US has its faults, fads and assorted sillinesses, but we basically subscribe to the philosophy that as long as it doesn't harm someone else, it's OK. And if it harms us collectively, we're all against it. Europeans and others around the world don't always understand this aspect of the American psyche. They watch our television and movies, listen to our music and follow our politics and conclude we're hopeless materialists with a Fundamentalist Christian bent. It's not true, of course. If they understood baseball, they'd understand us better: individual performance as part of a team. What a concept!

Europe, like all old cradles, is now filled with baby vomit stains and dirty stinky diapers - the serfdom of Royalism having been replaced with the serfdom of socialism. Different aristocracy, same results. Europe has long abandoned most of the tenets of modern civilization that made them great powers.

America, founded upon the greatest of the Western ideas, has also been infected with the socialist venerial disease, which slowly erodes all the great Western concepts of freedom and liberty. We are still the last, best hope of Western civilization. Europe, I'm afraid, is going terminal.
