Misconceptions of Perception

Conclusions

Through research and interviews, we were able to come to the following conclusions:

  • It is a misconception that the French dislike Americans.

  • Media and politics in America perpetuate this misconception.

  • The French are open-minded and generally base their understanding of Americans on a case-by-case basis.

  • There are some Anti-Americans in France, but this is due to dislike of our political leaders and a fear that the French are losing their culture as many are adopting more American beliefs and pop culture.

  • In order to rid of cultural misconceptions, we need to experience more of the world and not create generalizations based off of what we hear.
