In this short reflection story I will be reflecting on a documentary film I watched with my class called Where to Invade Next by Michael Moore. This film was about how Michael Moore went to different countries interviewing how other people lived. Of course it was much different from the way we live in America. Different countries lived better than we do in America. I’m going to speak about different ways they live and how I feel about the way they live differently than America. I have a link on my blog of Where to Invade Next if you would like to hear more about this film.
When Michael Moore interviewed Italy about their employment, they said that Italy get eight weeks of vacation. I was very jealous because here in America we is lucky to have a week vacation. Also if the employee in Italy don’t use their full eight weeks of vacation it goes toward the following year vacation. Another good situation Michael Moore was told while he was interviewing in Italy is that when you have a baby you get five months of maternity leave. We don’t have that in America. Parents ( some of my friends) stay home only for two months with their baby and then have to go back to work to get caught up with bills. Last and finale situation in Italy that I’m going to speak about within this reflection story is that Michael Moore was told that when you get married in Italy you get fifteen days of celebration. Wow I was happy to get a week off. Yes it is a big difference in Italy than America on how they live so much better. Michael Moore interviewed France next. Once he reached France he went to a three or four star kitchen that was in a school cafeteria. The French love cheese Michael Moore was told and have a lot of it in school. Michael Moore was also told that in school lunch time is a full hour which was considered class time. I know when I was younger and went to school we had a half of an hour at school to eat our lunch and it wasn’t considered class time. In France they have to report school lunch to the mayor. Another situation they have that is good in France is that they have free healthcare and they eat very healthier food than America. One thing I can say is that Michael Moore stated that France is pooper than America so I don’t see how we are getting treated badly here in America and we work so hard. Sad. So this is a big difference on how they live in France and how we live here in America. Michael Moore did a wonderful job by doing these interviews with different states. I learned alot from his interviews because I never would have thought people from other states is getting treated much better than what we are getting treated here in America. Which I hear when some of my friends or people speak in general how we are so much better than other countries, I just couldn’t imagine that we get treated lesser than any pooper state. Than on top of that our food is less healthier, we don’t deserve this. Hopefully one day we can do better in our country. This is why we live differently in America.
