Conclusion

En avoir fini mon recherche, j’ai appris que les différences de culture en France et aux États-Unis influencent les adolescents et créent des opportunités. En dépit des diversités des cultures, les jeunes américains et français partagent beaucoup d’idées similaires qui les relient ensemble. Les diversités entre les cultures font des adolescents distincts, cependant ils les unissent grâce à de leurs ressemblances.

Aujourd’hui, je parlerai à propos des différences entre la culture en France et aux États-Unis. Les sujets que je t’adresserai sont la nourriture, l’éducation, la vie sociale, la famille, les comportements d’adolescents, la mode, et le divertissement. J’ai choisi de faire mon projet de graduation à cause des expériences que j'ai eu avec mon étudiante d'échange français en automne. Pendant qu'elle était ici, je de viendrai intéressé à savoir comment la différence des cultures ont influencé les vies des jeunes dans ces pays.
