Discussion
----Both groups see the gouvernment as being a corrupt, law-making body. The french students however see their government as being secret or mysterious, but they think of the government as a protective body. The french also think of the government as an elite group. The americans however think of the government as being useless and unneccesary. Kerone N. P
----I am from Bolivia and I have only lived in the US for 3 years. However, I have noticed that Americans are very proud of their government and the questionaire reflects just that. It is not that they are being politically correct they are just happy the way it works --------
----J'ai remarque que beaucoup de mots faisaient reference aux gens qui profitent et qui se servent de leur position dominante pour 'voler' de l'argent. On retrouve egalement un manque de confiance significatif (corrompus, demagogistes, ...). Cepandant, les critiques des francais sont un petit peu plus severes et pas franchement 'politiquement correct'. ___
----I don't think that you can generalize Americans as politically correct. While we are for the most part very sensitive to avoiding offending any individual or group, the responses about government are a reality.
