In our last
English Lesson we were talking a lot about Stereotypes about America and
Austria and today our teacher wants us to write a short blog entry about it.
So at first
lets talk about what Europeans think about Americans.
In a video
which we watched last lesson, Europeans said that one of the first things when they
think about Americans are, that they are loud, eat a lot of fast food and that
their portions are really big. The Europeans
also stated, that they can’t understand why trump is their president, he is the
craziest president they have ever seen.
Another
point the European mentions was that in America, almost everybody has a gun, because
the rules there are not as strict as they are in Europe. That shocked me most
and that is the reason why I want to tell you more about this issue.
Americans
are obsessed with guns, about 42% of American households own a gun. There are 393
mullion guns in possession in the USA, which is 46% of the worldwide total of
civilian held firearms. And I think this is one of the reasons that 2019 has
averages more than one mas shooting per day. At least 4 people shot is
considered a mass shooting.
At last I want
to tell you what the Americans think of as stereotypically “Austrian”? Americans
think that every Austrian owns a Lederhose or a Dirndl.
It often happens
that Americans can’t locate Austria on a map and so they confuse Austria with Australia
so they belive that Kangaroos live in Austria. And they also think that Austria
is the same as Germany.
I hope you
enjoyed my blog posting and you are going to read my next.
See you soon,
Sabrina
