les Etats-Unis d'Amérique
France -- the land of haute cuisine, fine wine and cheese -- would be the last place you would expect to find a thriving fast-food market. In a country known for its strong national identity and anti-globalization movement, it seems improbable that McDonald's could have survived the onslaught of French social and political activism. In 1999, José Bové, an agricultural unionist, became a hero to anti-globalization supporters when he and his political group, Confédération Paysanne, bulldozed a McDonald's in Milau, France, to protest against U.S. trade restrictions on French dairy products. With bullhorn in hand, he declared to the television news cameras: "We attacked this McDonald's because it is a symbol of multinationals that want to stuff us with junk food and ruin our farmers."

Cartographie des USA
(les exercices - parties en rouge - seront mis en ligne très prochainement) Que l’on soit séduit par le « rêve américain » ou qu’on le rejette, un constat s’impose : les Etats-Unis font partie de ces pays que l’on ne peut ignorer tant leur influence –positive ou négative- dans le monde est grande. Pays jeune, à l’esprit conquérant, il tente d’imposer ses valeurs politiques (démocratie), économique (libéralisme) et culturelle (individualisme, consommation, religion, etc.) au reste du monde, non sans susciter de vives résistances. Comment un pays dont la population compte pour seulement 5% du total mondial peut-il soutenir ce challenge ?
