U.N. survey highlights international differences
The United Nations has just finished its most ambitious survey. The question:
"What is your opinion about food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The results were absolutely discouraging.
Argentinians did not understand the meaning of "please."
The Chinese did not understand the meaning of "opinion."
Europeans did not understand the meaning of "shortage."
African, Indians, and Latin Americans did not understand the meaning of "food."
US citizens did not understand the meaning of "the rest of the world."
