Zašto ljudi mrze Ameriku?

Sardar Ziauddin | Wyn Davies Merryl

Summary

 

Ziauddin Sardar, Merryl Wyn Davies: Why do people hate America?

 

The question "Why do people hate America?" it's not really new, but after the events of September 11, 2001, it took on many new meanings. This is a question that elicits unwanted and unpredictable answers. Undoubtedly, American corporations and popular culture influence the lives of millions of people around the world. However, the power of American foreign policy is unparalleled in history, backed by a vast military force. This is precisely why America is the world's first "hyperpower".

 

This is not a book about 9/11, nor is it a book about what followed. The book was inspired by these terrible events, but it tries to answer that important question that emerged from the ruins. Namely, it is necessary to consider the problems that existed even before that event and that will continue to exist. First of all, these are the problems of relations between America and the rest of the world. America exports its value system, America dictates to others what to do and how to behave, America decides what democracy is and what human rights are. "Globalization" most often means "Americanization" of the world. This creates what the authors of this book called the "hamburger syndrome".

 

At the same time, many Americans are completely unaware of the effect of their culture and politics on the rest of the world. They simply do not believe that America has done, or can do, anything wrong. It is about the fact that the American media and the entire American society are closed to influences from the rest of the world (because for them, the world is America). They don't care about the rest of the world, they don't learn about the history and culture of other nations — America is preoccupied only with itself.

 

Many people really hate America, from the Middle East to many developing countries to Europe itself. This hatred should be considered in the context of how America perceives itself and how all other people see America, both in the light of new events and the history in which this hatred slowly but inexorably arose.
