it’s not done although it is accomplished on this list. I have a japanese roommate who has lived in romania and new zealand, and through him, I have met a lot of people from europe and japan and learned a lot about different perspectives on the U.S. I learned that some believe we are always killing each other, because they only hear of our crime rates and lack of gun control. Others believe our president is dumb and that we are crazy for voting for him twice. I’ve heard that we are hypocritical – we condemn cruelty of other countries, but we developed our own country by killing native Americans. Then others didn’t fully understand the katrina situation – one friend of mine from Switzerland said she never understand why the people didn’t leave New Orleans until she lived in the South for a year, and learned how often tornado warnings and sirens go off, and threats of hurricanes occur in the coastal areas…she said she no longer reacts to tornado sirens since they sound so often and many times, no significant damage occurs. That caused her to realize that some people didn’t leave with the hurricane because those that remained largely were comprised of those who didn’t have enough money to leave and/or couldn’t risk potentially losing their job if the hurricane warning had been a false alarm.
