Yeah, But You're American.
After trying to understand why there are so many differences between people "more" in Spain and people "more" here in Los Angeles, and suspected that our looong and unique history have much to do in our approach the problems, disadvantages, the good news, life in general. Our traditions go, not in the sense of processions during Semana Santa or bulls or April fair ... but our traditional understanding of how things should be done and how it has to talk about them.
the Agora (ominous) catastrophic English, focusing on what people think, in the tradition ... the apparent American freedom of life choices, of possibilities, everything.
So you find that an old woman in Spain for 80 years would be thinking about retirement and their grandchildren and their rugs made a point and a "not so old lady" but of the same age here, if you money, first physically (visibly) is not old lady because I will have operated a few times, and also mentally because it still takes a life like that has always been.
say that here the "freedom" I think that is only apparent because when you've grown in Spain (and in general in Europe) is very clear that here are more slaves to capitalism than we are. That is, in fact their story (short) are weighed as much as we have ours, but with one difference: its history, "MOLA" because the know how to sell always linked to leisure, good vibes, the easy going and fun. Hippies, Rock, Halloween, industry movies, Thanksgiving, Beverly Hills, the American dream, Las Vegas, the series, the land of opportunities, realities, and so on. Even his major historical disasters are so well sold, we see movies and to make us mourn.
And there's Clint Eastwood in "Gran Torino" showing us the ugly side of America: Republican, conservative, racist, sexist ... and reconciled with American history, the past: the Vietnam War, Christianity, man's America middle-class white ... and this: the spectacular mix of nationalities and traditions that live in the United States, Christianity also the problem of street gangs, etc.. And you and type a single sentence makes me understand at once that to what I had hanging around 10 months, why American adults are so different from the English? Yes, because they are Americans.
