Taking things for granted is very popular here in the United States, whether you are wealthy or poor. Here in the U.S we are so use to having everything handed to us, and so use to our everyday lives that we hardly realize that there are some places where kids don’t get to eat every day. So that stop to McDonald’s in the morning, is it really necessary? Some other counties opinion’s of us Americans are that we are greedy and stuck up.
Over in Spain there are barley any rules, the laws are not really reinforced and the people there are really laid back. That country really focuses on looking good and socializing. Everybody is really friendly and very close. Their way of greeting somebody is to kiss them on the cheek, the closer they are, the more kisses on the cheek.
What is even crazier is that drunk driving in Spain is pretty common because most people don’t get in trouble for it. I heard that somebody was drunk driving and crashed their car into the popular fountain in Madrid, and them just got out of the car and walked away with no charges or fines. If somebody was to do that here in the U.S, that person would be in so much trouble. They would probably face at least a couple years in jail. As well as have there license revoked, they would be charged with several offenses.
I wonder what other counties think of us, such as Japan, they are one of the most advanced countries in the world. So besides being the country that is deeply in debt and have to barrow money from other countries, what do they think about us as far as taking granted of things, because they are a pretty wealthy country themselves so they probably take things for granted just as much as we do.
