USA – Comprendre et accueillir la clientèle américaine | Blog Expert - Formation Interculturelle L’interculturel est une véritable clef pour tous les professionnels du tourisme… Plus de 3 millions d’Américains ont visité la France l’année passée . Cette clientèle, aime surtout la Méditerranée et Paris pour son côté romantique, mais aussi pour son art de vivre. De nombreux Américains rêvent de visiter la France en couple pour vivre ce romantisme « à la française ». En comprenant un peu mieux cette culture et en améliorant notre accueil, ce chiffre pourrait plus que doubler en cinq ans ! Une perception très centriste justifiée L’Amérique est un continent à elle seule, ce qui rend les Américains inconscients des problèmes que suscite la cohabita- tion multiculturelle entre différents pays comme en Europe. Peu d’Américains connaissent donc notre histoire et encore moins notre technologie. Hamburgers et Coca-Cola, mais pas que ça… Si à nos yeux et de façon caricaturale, les Américains ne savent pas vivre et manger, ils savent en tout cas créer de la richesse ! Le vin en guise d’apéritif !
French stereotypes: arrogant and good in bed? Bien sûr! Let's not throw out the cliches with the bathwater. Apart from the fact that they conceal a fair bit of truth, these stereotypical preconceptions that seem to stick so strongly to our French identity might also help us close ranks. So, we're supposedly arrogant and chauvinistic – compliments that generally go hand in hand with a suspicion of cowardice. The rude health of this particular stereotype is not unrelated to the current financial and monetary crisis, in which France has been unable to disguise the difficulty it is having in maintaining its role – or what it believes to be its role – on the European stage. Confronted with the fact of German leadership, we supposedly hit back with thunderous rants and rash behaviour. Strike lovers Proud of our keen sense of inequality, it's almost disappointing for us not to hear our neighbours cite the traditional French propensity to strike – a tradition, nonetheless, that's largely disproved by statistics on the weakness of our trades unions.
55 National Stereotypes that will Ruin or Make your Day | National Stereotypes Inspired by an idea of Mon earlier on this post, I searched the net far and wide to find the most common stereotypes about Nationalities. Generalizations about cultures or nationalities can be a source of pride, anger or simply bad jokes. Some people say that in all stereotype there is some basis in reality, as they don’t develop in vacuum. To give a more serious definition: “National Stereotype is a system of culture-specific beliefs connected with the nationality of a person. True cold-blooded scientists warn, that “National character stereotypes are not even exaggerations of real differences: They are fictions.” But why judge, before we know what we are talking about? Please take everything below with a grain of salt; as I only summed up what others wrote on the internet. There are plenty of scientific studies about this subject on the net as well. After reading all those stereotypes, I’m a bit shocked that a lot of them – if not most – are pretty negative or even insulting.
What's True About French Stereotypes? Author: Maggie Lonsdale BA (hons) - Updated: 20 April 2011| Comment Are stereotypes about the French really true? Well, think of a typical French person and what do you see? Well, they're all true! Different Stereotypes However, there are many more ingredients in French soup! Or could it be the elderly lady, walking slowly around the supermarket looking for a bargain. Perhaps it is the silver-haired biker with the regulation sideburns and cowboy boots. Or maybe it is the middle aged woman who serves you at the boulangerie. Outdated Stereotypical French Traits Then again, maybe even you won't realise they are French at all. Nowadays, a French youth is virtually indistinguishable from his or her UK counterpart. Go into any Apple store and see the identikit hipsters with their facial hair and oversized horn rimmed glasses. Embracing Society Refreshingly, there is a somewhat different attitude towards those following a more 'alternative' lifestyle. The French do like to enjoy life though.
Around the World in 12 Stereotypes By Philip Van der Vossen on February 24th, 2021 Despite the negative connotation, stereotypes aren’t necessarily a bad thing, and they’re usually based on facts. Take for example the image above, it’s pretty easy to identify the roots of every aspect of American culture in the graphic, but obviously it would be impossible to find this exact scene occurring in real life. Often times stereotypes are historical and outdated, but there is nearly always truth to them The collection of fabulous illustrations below were created by Andrey Gordeev from New York, apparently to use in a calendar for a global truck trading company. We’re pretty sure he didn’t intend for these images to offend, but they could have that effect on some people.
Advertising watchdog to get tough on gender stereotypes Image copyright APtamil Advertisements that show men failing at simple household tasks and women left to clean up are set to be banned by the UK advertising watchdog. The Advertising Standards Authority will crack down on ads that feature stereotypical gender roles. Ads that mock people for not conforming to gender types or reinforce gender roles had "costs for individuals, the economy and society", the ASA said. As a result new rules will be drawn up that will take effect next year. The ASA said it had decided to conduct a review following the public's reaction to the "beach body ready" advertising campaign in 2015. In the past the ASA has banned ads on grounds of objectification, inappropriate sexualisation, and for suggesting it is desirable for young women to be unhealthily thin. One example was an advert for Aptamil baby milk formula that showed girls growing up to be ballerinas and boys becoming engineers. Image copyright PA Not all stereotypes would be barred, however.
Britain to Crack Down on Gender Stereotypes in Advertising - NBC News LONDON — Commercials depicting women clearing up a mess made by the family, or men trying and failing to do housework, could soon be off-limits in the United Kingdom, according to new rules proposed by the country's advertising authority on Tuesday. A new report looking into gender stereotyping, by Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority, has concluded that “a tougher line needs to be taken on ads that feature stereotypical gender roles... which, through their content and context, may be potentially harmful to people.” The report was prompted by public outcry against a 2015 ad by Protein World that featuring a woman in a bikini and the tagline: "Are you Beach Body Ready?” The authority said they received nearly 400 complaints about the ad but found in an investigation that it didn’t break any rules at the time. More than 70,000 people signed a Change.org petition to remove the ads at the time.

Gender stereotypes to be banned in British adverts Tough new rules on gender stereotyping in advertising are being introduced to end outdated expectations of women cleaning and washing while men struggle to do basic domestic duties. These stereotypes can be harmful and help drive "unfair outcomes" particularly for younger people, according to research cited by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The report: Deceptions, Perceptions and Harm concludes a tougher line is needed on adverts which feature gender stereotyping. Report author Ella Smilie told Sky News: "We know that depicting gender stereotypes in ads has the potential to reinforce expectations as to how groups or individuals should look or behave because of their gender - and that can have a potentially harmful effect on the way people consider their own aspirations and potential, as well as their expectations as to how others should behave." The new standards will not stop all stereotyping but they will ban certain scenarios.
