Feeling European
I feel European... Why?
I'm going to explain it now.
Being European is first a geopolitical aspect:
-
We all live on the same continent (in a temperate country)
-
We all have the same cultural roots ( Greek and Roman civilization)
-
We all have the same religious foundation: Christianism
-
During the history there were moving of population (migration, invasion...)
All these factors have created a European spirit.
But:
-
Languages are indeed extremely different, they are coming from more than four different roots and are factors of divisions inside Europe.
-
Even the borders of Europe are discussed. Some think Europe should include Russian, some Turkey and some prefer to stop to the borders of community.
Now being European is also a Cultural and Political aspect:
-
All European countries are under democratie and it's a very important topic for European people.
-
We have very close standards of life.
-
We share the same way of life (music, movies, culture...).Encouraged by program like Erasmus who has the aim to develop the European Identity.
Nether the less, I'm going to conclued with a small joke:
What will be the European paradise?
You are welcome by an English.
A French will shake the meal.
An Italian will make the ambiance.
And a German manage the other all.
But what will be hell?
You are welcome by a French.
An English man make the food.
A German the ambiance.
And an Italian managed every thing...
