Week 1

When I think of America, unfortunately all I think about are bad points... Immediately fast food and child obesity springs to mind, and the fact that the figures are still increasing don't do anything to help America's image. I chose the picture on the right because I think it is a reflection of this point. America's fast food services are renowned to cultures across the world and because of other countries being so easily influenced by America, child obesity is becoming a re-occurring theme all over the world.

For a positive image of America, I thought that this image was a good representation of patriotism. The significance of patriotism in America is what makes the country so renowned, and at times can even be seen to put other countries to shame. The loyalty and love that American citizens have for their country is something that other countries should look up to.
