Discussion
Heyy...I noticed an interesting difference in the responses given for authority. Many Americans responded with "police," but while some French said this, many responded "parents." Do you think that there is more of an emphasis on Family life in France? Is there, in general, more respect for familial authority (and does this relate to less powerful police?
Thanks,
Zach
Interesting....I think many Americans would agree with you that it's the family who should be the primary people to have authority over a child.
And some would agree with you that the police are a repressive organization, but I feel like the mainstream opinion is that the police are good. Or some feel that police do a better job in emergencies than in their daily rounds. There is a lot of police brutality that goes on, probably more common than people know. So I'd say the opinions on police might be mixed.
