I found this article to be very informative and easy to read and appreciate the use of heavy statistical comparison to paint a comprehensive picture.
The article suggests Americans and Europeans continue to disagree on a variety of things — identity, religion, military force, homosexuality — but that the gap continues to close.
I wonder if it's remotely important at all for this gap to close. Why is it a big deal? Shouldn't we celebrate the absence of a worldwide group-think? I don't know if I necessarily see one side as being better, with superior ideas. Is the gap closing a product of globalization and increases in technology? We certainly don't seem as far away to the rest of the world as we used to. Or is it something else?
