- "One of the biggest criticisms I hear from Europeans is that Americans are very ethnocentric, meaning that we don't know much about anyone but ourselves.
At first I was offended, but then I realized that they were right. Most Americans only speak one language. Most of us have never been to another country. Most of us only read news about what is going on in the U.S."
"Europeans and Americans share a long history together. Most Americans are descendants of Europeans. Europe has been heavily influenced by American culture, especially American entertainment and products.
We can learn a lot from each other. It can be easy to judge the other without understanding why each culture acts the way it does. As we learn the cultural principles and values from which each side operates, it becomes easier to reach out.
One society is not better than the other, just different. Each has something positive to offer the world. Each has reason to be proud of their cultural identity."
