Cultural Differences Between France And America

Have you ever wondered how High Schools are in other countries? Despite sharing some minor similarities, the differences between Nicaraguan and American High School education are clear. Such as, note-taking methods, grading system, classroom environment.

In this paper I am going to concentrate on comparing and contrasting how America and France’s economic and political policies choices combined with their cultural and historic backgrounds helped their current place on the word stage. It is undoubted that the United States and France are two of the strongest and most competitive countries in the world. Although they have almost the same economic system and same concept, they still have very different current situations which are closely bound up with their historic backgrounds and political choices. Through this paper I am going to discuss this topic through several sections.

The United States and France though very far away from each other have a lot income with they way they were started. The United states was not always the great nation it is now. Infact they were under the rule of the British until the American Revolution. Shortly after the American Revolution the people of France became inspired. The people of France got rid of the monarchy and killed the royal family then created the national assembly.Even though these two countries begin so different the belief that it is a right to have life and liberty made them very similar.

I like your example about the different acceptance between Haitian and American cultures. Not only Haiti but also many cultures believe that psychological disorders are from supernatural forces. Therefore, they want to seek spiritual and herbal treatment by their traditional healers whereas, people want to meet psychiatrists in Western culture. Cultures include custom, religion and patterns their ancestors made for a long time, so their belief or behaviors are various. As a result, symptoms of psychological disorders are similar, perception and treatment for the psychological disorders can be different in every culture.

President John Adams had sent several delegates, one of them being John Martial, to France to help sort out the issues between France and the US, such as the United States not honoring the Franco-American Treaty, formed back during the American Revolution, when France had its revolution, by meeting with minister Talleyrand of France. Three of Talleyrand’s men met with the delegates and told them Talleyrand refused to meet unless a large amount of money was payed. The delegates returned home and informed President Adams, who was outraged. The name of the Affair comes from the substituting of the three French men’s’ names with X, Y, and Z in a Congress report.

The American and French revolutions continue to be two momentous events that have a multitude of similarities, along with differences. Both the Americans and the French decided to rebel because of the maltreatment which obligated them to follow unfair rules, along with having to pay a vast amount of taxes. Each revolution also came as a result of the people trying to claim their independence, along with their freedom from the government that controlled them. Once the revolutionists won, the Americans, along with the French created their own political documents. While these revolutions contain more similarities, a difference that appears would be that the Americans received outside assistance from French troops, and the French received nothing.

See after the war the in the Treaty of Paris the British agreed to make sure that none of the French remaining in the Americas would be secure. Many of the French that had stayed behind were still residing in Quebec so for the British they had to no longer worry about their colonists, but the Frenchmen too. Most of the French's ideology didn’t match with the British. First off many were of Catholic faith and they were according to the Treaty of Paris not to lose their lands. What the British could do though is exclude them from certain practices such as voting and holding office due to their religious faith. So for many of the Frenchmen they would see new elected officials who might not fit their culture or religious ideals. This would cause some issues for them as well just like how their American colonists were experiencing at the time.

Since 1914, animosity has continued between the two largest ethnic groups in Canada, the French and the English. The two parties have repeatedly tried to undermine each other by refuting on the likes of religion, culture, and language. The Conscription Crisis of World War One separated the English and French as men were forced to fight. This brought in resentment towards the Anglophones as the French had to battle a war that was not theirs. The Quebec Referendum of 1980 gave the populace of Quebec the option to leave Canada. This identified the large amount of sovereignists in the province. The Official Languages Act (OLA) was implemented to induce change in

During the time of the Atlantic Revolutions, two revolutions had similar formats to their revolting. The French and American revolutions have the most similarities to the enlightenment ideals behind their revolt, how the revolt was carried out, and how the results impacted the citizens. The first way in which the French and American revolutions are similar is that of their enlightenment ideals that started the revolutions. Both countries were influenced heavily by the European enlightenment. The ideals that all people should have rights and that an absolute monarchy is not the way to rule a government were heavily impactful in starting the revolution and carried relevance throughout the entirety of both.

At first the French and American Revolutions may seem to have many similarities, they both took place around the same time and championed a democratic society and liberty, but on further examination there are many distinctions between the two wars. While Americans yearned to gain independence from Britain and form a new nation, the French tried to overthrow the established monarchy in order to create a new government. The colonists fought to keep a newly formed government, but the revolutionists attempted to overthrow an established order.

The view of the culture during this time period was more of the same. People were in this time period were already tired of the government for many years, so the culture had been changed prior to the actual beginning of the American Revolution. It changed the political views all around the globe. It made the political leaders fear what could happen in the future as stated above. One event that could be compared to the Revolutionary War at this time period would be the French Revolution, which took place in 1789 and lasted many years(History5). This event in today’s world would be viewed as not really a normal thing. The main difference from then and now is just the style of the war. In the 1770’s the 1780’s, armies did not have nearly anything

The discovery of an unexplored land, ripe with untouched resources led for a scramble between powerful European nations for a foothold in the new world. Two of the nations, French and Great Britain with their age long rivalry and conflict brought their festered hatred for each other with them as they lay claim to as much land as they could. One dispute over the Ohio River Valley evolved into what is now known as the 7 Years War (1754-1763). A long and grueling conflict which ended in the decimation of the French causing them to be driven out of the continent altogether, leaving the British a master of a massive empire. However, their hold did not last long as colonists rebelled against the English crown 12 years later, for many of their injustices

In summary, The French and American revolutions were similar in that each was influenced by the Enlightenment movement. They both wanted freedom from oppressive monarchs and suffered social and economic decline.

Introduction: France, one of the oldest countries in Europe, has been the home to many languages since the dawn of its creation. As one of the most influential European nations, France has successfully spread its culture and language throughout the world. While to most it seems France is a simple, homogenous country filled with nothing more than French custom, its history tells another story. Centuries prior to the French Revolution, France was a land mass occupied by many people of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. During the French Revolution of 1789, the French state begin to develop into a population driven by the government’s attempts to unify the citizens of France.

Just before deciding to participate in the Au Pair program I took a vocational test at one of the fairs that happen in my city and the result was Pedagogy. This has greatly influenced my decision to do the program, because besides being an experience that I always wanted to have, after the vocational test I have one more motivation: to live and participate in the education and development of a child, besides learning As another culture deals with this. So, when I come back from the program I intend to start my degree in Pedagogy.
