Discussion
well, i think it's pretty clear that American's don't like their government.
Yes, our view of government is WAY more negative and critical.
Aparently Americans DON'T like their government, or see lots of flaws in it.
The French answers lead me to believe that they have more faith in their political system. Like they feel more represented.
While the American responses are certainly more negative, I don't think it's fair to say that we don't like our government. Speaking for myself, I wasn't thinking about specifically American Government when I made my associations, just Governments in general.
Personally, I prefer the French political system to ours.
