Memorize ‘The Ugly American’ of 1950s fame? Much of the world, at that time, mostly Europeans saw Americans as demanding, brash, rude and arrogant people. Of course, the only Americans in evidence tended to be rich Americans who could give luxury trips abroad in the post World War II era. For the most part, maybe these Americans were, all of these things. The European attitude remains, “Why do these Americans not bother to instruct themselves in our languages?” An explorer who can only talk in English conveys a lack of respect and therefore, a degree of conceit. Americans elected a President who, over a period of eight years, imposed policies which began to demote the recently restored take on the American people in foreign countries. Some might say that he even became the butt of jokes amongst other heads of state around the world.
The language feature was of exacting significance in raising European’s opinions of Americans in general. Why? Students not only master their native language, in about every European country, but can also speak English quite well. Fast forward to the later part of the 20th century, the old stigma had faded over the years, with less such individuals. Now viewed as being based on false information, this President succeeded in starting and waging disliked wars, reduction our rights and frittering away the large surplus regained in the previous administration. Unfortunately, so it becomes a moot point not many Americans are able now to visit other countries. As the middle class grew, American people who traveled to foreign countries represented a more diverse cross section, to average American families anxious to learn more about the rest of the world from inquisitive college students eager to explore new cultures.
Such travelers found that, by making an effort to learn enough of the native language to engage in brief, polite conversation, they were treated as welcome guests. American people were once again admired for their technological advances, both in Information Technology, as well as all of the tetchy gadgets, such as cell phones, iPods and digital cameras everyone, all over the place, wanted to own. These ‘new’ types of American people were also far more exploratory, participating in local customs and desiring to immerse them in the culture while there. The American people have always been seen as inventive and innovative people who ‘think outer the box’. Now everybody would be paying the price. American people were usually accepted, throughout the wealthy 90s, having shed their former attitudes of dominance which had earlier earned them the moniker of ‘Ugly American’.
Though, come 2000, we On top of this, he was not an effective or articulate leader. Luckily, many other common people have not been so rapid to blame the American people, in its place laying blame to this reckless group of American politicians. Being the richest country in the world, foreigners saw the worldwide lucrative slump being in large part due to this bumbling of the management of American wealth. Of course, this caused several people to wonder at the cleverness of the American people in putting such a politically and inexpensively unhelpful person in the office of President, not once, but twice. I can see that perhaps it’s time to make a pen pal on the net. It’s maybe, time to take things back in hand and reinstate the good standing of the average American.
