    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.

    Private classes in History and Art History
    Learning History is not complicated: the density of its syllabus can be facilitated through dynamic and conceptual teaching. Teaching an individualized methodology is essential to understand and accept it, and as such, it is present in my sessions. Whatever you are, reader, do not fall into discouragement or despair, since I will make you understand and love that subject that you now hate. In the last year of the History degree.
