The rest of the world, views the United States solely on two factors. One factor is the representatives of The United States and the media being produced in The United States. The rest of the world really can’t know directly how we act or how we are unless being in the country, but what parts of our culture hits other countries close to home like our television shows and political voices allow foreigners to gain a rough view of our nation.
The rough view is much like how Americans view other countries. Through the media we view Britain’s as fancy people whom even do Britain’s got talent with fanciness. The stereotypical accent and clothes make the world view Britain as a culturally mannered society where skateboarding and drive by shootings are never acceptable. In reality, Britain contains those aspects of life too. All the media creates is rough first impressions.
Now that anyone is able to interact with people from another nation in real time via internet or phone one could ask them how they view us, I know for a fact that most of the world sees us as uncultured ignorant fat people who never stop eating fries and cheeseburgers.
In a way that is true, because we created the fast food industry, and our average weight is immensely larger than most other countries, we have an increasingly high dropout rate and that in return increases the unemployed rate.
