    Understanding the United States Today – A Look Through Cross-Cultural Lenses

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    We will begin with your perspective and understanding of the United States. We will discuss current events and dig into their roots. I will recommend things to read, watch, or study between sessions. Then we will continue the discussion.

    Among many other topics, we will explore these:

    World order based on free trade versus protectionism.
    Democracy versus property.
    American identity.
    Tocqueville's "land of religious madness" against a gentle faith.
    Ethnicity and race in American life.
    A globally deployed army against an insular worldview.
    I went to the moon; Now what?
    Globalization.
    The American Dream." What was it? What is it now?
    Trump!?
    The United States and the future.

    SCHOOL SUPPORT - videoconferencing (Primary & Middle School)
    I offer academic support from primary to secondary school (only in the general sector). I consider mutual trust to be an essential element during lessons. I am aware that struggling students are sometimes hesitant to ask questions for fear of feeling embarrassed. With me, it's different: no question or error is considered "stupid". Our goal is to learn, and it is by making mistakes that we progress!
