After a wonderful trip to Italy one of the things that made me originally not want to go what the story that "other countries" don't like us. Bush this, imperialism that and all the other lines that go with it.
After spending time observing people from the world in Italy, I came to the realization that the reason other coutries made not like the USA or the UK for that matter isn't because of politics or status. The reason other countries don't like America is because of Americans.
I watched people complaining that "no one speaks English" or asking "do you have American coffee?"
I know it's easy to blame politics past and present on the world's opinion of us, but if you want other countries to have a good opinion of America, act respectful when you're abroad
That simple
