[email protected]Last week' s theme of " War and Peace in the Global Village: Friendship in the University" generated many provocative conversations on a wide range of topics. Our theme for this Saturday, " What is it about America ?" will likely do the same. Some questions that may serve as food for thought leading up to the event: What is unique about American culture and society that are not found anywhere else in the world? How have the arts, music and sports coming out of America changed the world? What is the significance of mass immigration to America coming first from Europe and Africa and now from many other parts of the world? Are capitalism and consumerism particularly American exports or are they a kind of world phenomenon? How does the American media system influence other nations or behavioural patterns? How does ' the American dream' differ or how is it similar to what you dream about for your future? Would you like someday to live in America or would you prefer just to visit? On Saturday there also will be a special guest speaker, an American professor in St. Petersburg who is currently delivering a course on ' the American dream,' and who will surely add to the discussion atmosphere.
