Summary

We are all different, but it is our richness. But there are a lot of stereotypes linked to nationality. For example, everybody assumes that the Spanish are loud, poorly organised and always late, that Americans are stupid, and that all Russians do is drink alcohol. From one point of view, this may be true, but at the same time not all Spanish are disorganised, as illustrated by their recent social activism, while many scientific discoveries have been made in US, and there is an outstanding literary tradition in Russia!
