What do you think of the US of A?

[Xanderfoxx]

Most Americans don't seem to care much about what peoples of other nations think, but I do, and I decided to write a paper on it.

This is not political in nature, I don't intend to tick people off, I just want to know:

If you are living somewhere that is not a territory of the United States, or have very recently started to live here:



What were your thoughts/ideas/images/associations when you thought of or heard about the United States?
If you have recently moved here, how does the reality compare with your idealized ideas of it?


I'm writing a college paper on this, so please be serious and thorough. (The exception is if you thought "America" as funny.)

Thank you very much for your input!

Is this your thesis? Where is your data? Are you trying to prove something is true you have a feeling about?

Sorry, but yes this is a political question, whether intended to be so or not. Closed.
