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...
