My Concept of America

America has been a multidimensional subject. Some see it as their idol and their desire is to live there, on the other hand some hate special characteristics which are accompanied with it. I have to say that my concept is something between, I believe this country, like other countries, has advantages and disadvantages. I enjoy some of it's traits like the regulation, preserving the civilian rights, scientific progresses, the spirit of collective association, the value of work, the humanitarian groups and activities, and many other positive aspects of it. On the contrary I dislike the spirit of dictatorship which allows it to invade countries or impose its ideas through films and propaganda.

My concept of American Studies

If you are raised in a country with neutral view toward everything, you may spend your time searching your own favorits and hobbies, but if the atmosphere around you is full of extra positive or negative view toward some issue, then you may ask yourself, "ok, why others think so and say so?" It is then that a sence of curiosity ignites inside you and it will drive you toward knowing that specific issue. That curiosity leads you to go and know more about that favoured or hatred question in your mind.

The issue of America is like the situation I mentioned above. We have heard a lot of negative things about it from mass media as we have grown up. But gradually as we heard more about it during time, we found out that it is not a place full of negative things. In fact it is the politics which tries to rule its decision. so it is a need to realize who is this country which has been introduced as enemy.

Perhaps a survey of culture, politics and the people of the u.s in the faculty of North American studies would be helpful to give a wider view as we get familiar with other's attitude.
