It is interesting that in some European countries, you see naked women in tv commercials and see topless women at beaches. Something you would never see in the US. However, what you do see in the US, is violence filled movies and tv shows.Think Different wrote:American pop culture glorifies violence and individuality, lone wolf vigilantes and vendettas. It's also a culture that absolutely forbids the showing of sexual intercourse and "private parts" on all but the most rare pay channels. On the one hand, American culture likes to portray itself as so morally pure, religious, and wholesome, but do a Google search for any basic thing like "girl" and you get nude photos. The majority of the world's porn industry is based in America, too. America is a totally schizophrenic culture that says it's OK to show ultra violent murders on TV, but never a man and a woman showing love and affection to each other through sex. You tell me if that's normal. It's not. It's sick in the head. Your French friend is correct: Americans are violent and our pop culture has bred that into us. TV in France has tons of nudity and love scenes. You see topless women at the beach. In France most of their films are about love stories (which does get boring after a while, to be honest) and feminine women.
It's funny, in America it's ok to show movies where people are getting murdered and killed by the most violent of ways and yet, any nudity in movies and the movie is automatically rated R. We don't want our kids seeing any nudity but it's ok to let them see movies and tv shows where people are being shot and killed in grotesque ways.
