The complete nonsens of a one size fits all foundation

Post by Graaf Statler » Sat Jun 16, 2018 10:31 am

In a other topic I was talking about the fact I found out Americans had no idea about Europe. But also Europeans don't have of America. I think I will buy this book. (Dutch) Amerikanen lopen niet, by Arjan van Veelen. Americans doesn't walk.

The book is about the tremendess cultural differences between America and Europe. He is a expand, his wife found a good job in America and he is a writer and decide to start walking in St Louis Missouri, the city where he is living. And slowly he found out the picture of America, St Louis he had is total wrong. Because he fond step by step out America is not build one the principe All men are created equal and he pursuit of happiness, but on inequality. A huge different with Europe, what makes clear to me why the mission of the foundation never will fly in Europe, just like #Metoo will never fly in Europe. Because the two continents are as different as China and America. There is hardly any culture bridge between the two continents.
