I think Alain de Botton is right. The US wants everyone to be unique or special and not the same. Europe wants everyone to be the same. I agree with America's belief that we should all be different. My country has no right to tell me who I have to be or what to believe or think. So obviously I agree with America. I think Europe is looking for a way to control their people. I have my rights and I don't think anybody should be able to take that away from me. It's just a matter of time before more conflict between countries happen and we go into an all out war that leads to world war 3. That's what I believe anyway.
