This article is about the image that people in seventeen countries –included the U.S. - have of the United Stated: giving his opinions about the issues that are most important in the actual context ; talking about the actual contenders to the presidency of the U.S. and showing how people feel with the situation of the country.
We can see the point of view of people -in different countries and in the same United State- about the actual president and both candidates for the new period. This point is really interesting because show us how people are disagree with the actual government of Bush and how they thing that the candidate McCain represents an archetype of the same actual government. In the other hand, we have the image of the “change” in the black candidate Obama. This candidate looks like a citizen of the whole world, and that is not just because of his beginnings-he born in Hawaii and his father is from Kenya and also he has a part of Indonesian. This man represent, in a way, the ideals expressed in the declarations of independence: equality, freedom and peace, in times when these concepts are only in theory- the war with Iraq; imperialism; and so on. This point apparently is symptomatic in a lot of countries as Germany and Netherlands: the poll show that Obama had have an approbation of almost ninety percent.
Talking about the issues more important for people, the poll shows different opinions depending of each country. For example respondents people in the U.S. think that the more important issue is the global economical – actually it’s predictable-; in Mexico people think that is more important the poverty; a lot of countries as Australia, Taiwan, Finland, Germany and Canada think that “the subject” is the environment. The poll shows something else, that is kind of weird, in a way, because that view the subject of the war in Iraq with a sort of indifference. Another point is how people feel about United State, first of all, in many declarations people thing that the American dream is not true any more. They usually would rather stay in his country than move to North America. Perhaps, we can’t omit that there is a good part of France that considered U. S. as “the land of the second chances”.
