Culture Clash: Why do so many people around the world hate America?

After looking at different websites where people can leave comments I decided that most of the people say they hate American’s because we are stupid, arrogant, lazy, uneducated about worldly issues and that we know more about celebrities than we do about politicians. But people claim to hate America more than actual American’s despite these issues. People claim that our government always thinks that they have the right to involve themselves in every other countries issues, that our government wants to control the world, and that they make bad decisions involving foreign policy. In some countries they hate America because we have freedom and we encourage individualism unlike some of the Muslim countries.
Some people believe that all of these issues get spun out of control due to the media. The media doesn’t concentrate on the good things about Americans and what America has to offer people. The media concentrates on how we always want to go to McDonald’s and be lazy and obese, which is how other countries see us.
I do have to agree with some of the reasons people don’t like America and us who live here. We are lazy. We aren’t educated about worldly issues, and we do know more about celebrities, and scandals than about politicians. What do you see when you turn on the news? You see Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and their most recent drug scandals. Not information on who is running our country or what real issues are going on in the world. The most we ever hear about is our “War on Terrorism”. Sometimes I really don’t blame other countries for hating us. We do get involved in everyone else’s business when there’s no need and our government makes bad decisions all the time.
