Other Face Of America

vedrisha — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 12:26:21 +0000

The land of opportunities! Everyone wants to be part of American dream, but is it this what people are dreaming of? I guess the America we want to see and which is presented is certainly the one with the center in New York and here are the photos of the central America of so called Rednecks. Redneck is a derogatory slang term to refer to poor white Southern farmers in the United States. It is similar in meaning to “cracker” (especially in Georgia and Florida), “hillbilly” (especially in Appalachia) and “white trash” (especially among black people). The name probably came as derivative from individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the hot sun. Men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin burned red by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks. And their life is nothing like the one in big cities, but it seems like they don’t really have some help or support. It makes me wonder, why does US government seems to care more about overseas countries and their people and why is it more eager to help them than to its own people? This is something what is called politic, but will someone say that “the emperor is naked”? Guess not!

American Influence in China

vedrisha — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:06:33 +0000

China, the most populated country in the world, continues to absorb Western culture. The chains of American fast-food restaurants pop up like mushrooms after the rain, American supermarkets and bars are opened, more American music, products and brands are sold. And after the Olympics of 2008 that took place in China, more and more students have started actively learning English language. So, it is safe to say that China is undergoing Americanization.

America Without Make-Up

vedrisha — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:17:38 +0000

These days people from all over the world have opportunity to fulfill their life dream and reach their American dream and apply for the green card. I did the same, since I was dreaming for all of my life to come and work in States. It was always represented to me that if you want to work you can come there and you will find job suitable for you. Watching on the internet my dream country I came up across some really disturbing photos. Photos of some people who are not working and living their life on the edge of the poverty. i got scared. Is it possible that in the country where all people want to be and come everything what the rest of the world see is just an illusion and that everything is just a big lie? I am wondering how could this happen to someone? Is it maybe because the social insurance is not working well? what is the main problem? Is America putting make-up for the rest of the world? is this the real face of you? should i forget “Good morning America”? Should I say “Good night” instead? Once a great writer (and my favorite one) said: ” So long and thanks for all the fishes..” I was wondering when will I be able to say a thing like that to someone and I found it very properly to share it with you. If this is not disturbing I don’t know what is to you? Scary pictures of starving children and similar ones are not as bad as this is. We all are used on them and it is wrong for me to say that that is not so strange since those countries are very poor and basically have nothing, but seeing that you starve in the country of plenty really scares me. if that happens there what is with the rest of us? Is there someone who can give an answer to this?
