Compare And Contrast Denmark Vs America
Denmark vs. America

In this essay I would like to tell about the differences and similarities in Denmark and America.
I will tell good stuff and bad stuff, and you will be able to hear my opinoin as well.
Denmark and America are way different from each other, but at the same time we’re a bit alike.
We see a lot of teenage movies, and about 95 percent of them are from the states, the other 5 percent are from our own country. We see a lot about the teenage lifestyle through these movies, and no matter if we want or not, then we all create an image in our heads about how the lifestyle is.
Now I’m so lucky that I’ve actually tried to live the real teenage life in America, and yes, I would say that the image that I had about the American

    Many of us have seen the classics like “The Breakfast Club”, “Clueless”, “Mean Girls”, and even longed for a day off that would rival that of Ferris Bueller’s. But are these movies more than just movies? Or do they represent the true “typical” teenager? Teenagers are often misrepresented in the media by being shown as generalized stereotypes which leaves many groups and individuals marginalized. The movie “Heathers” challenges the media’s portrayal of adolescence by mocking and exaggerating the stereotypical features displayed in teenagers, to the point at which they no longer seem realistic.…

    The main difference between Demark and the United States is the “outrageous” income tax, or what we believe to be outrageous. Through Steves comparison we learn that the Danish don’t mind the income tax rate because they think of their country and government rather than about their own personal benefit. At first that is a hard concept to grasp as I am used to every man/woman for him/herself, but to the Danish, that concept isn’t even an option. Steves explains that the Danish…

    Teenage films are a type of film made to attract an adolescent audience. The main ways that film makers try to attract teens to a teenage film are to create an unreal adolescent world, to make the teenager the hero, the adults stupid and incompetent and to use stereotypes that teens can relate to. By doing all this they can manipulate the teen audience and suck them in to the film, making it an affective one.…

    Teenagers are insecure, judgmental creatures. Both of these characteristics feed off of each other to establish a mess of a human being. We (teenagers) will tear someone else down in hopes of building ourselves up. One thing that has remained constant over time is the way teenagers highlight each other’s physical features, as well as how insecure they are about their own.…

    I agree with Nisey Williams as I too believe that pop culture has a very bad influence on Teens. The teens are so much influenced by their rock stars that they tend to copy every style of their favorite singer. The teens copy everything from their hair to shoes, their clothes and makeup, their way of talking and walking. They also get their bodies tattooed and skin pierced like their rock stars. Moreover to make matters worse, the fashion industry and media add the spice to the popularization of pop culture. The magazines and television channels show half naked pictures and videos of rock stars and pop singers. Music videos and stage show are picturized and performed in see through clothes and this leaves a great impact on the teens that follow them like disciples. The youngsters become so crazy following…

    I think which countries a government decides to trade with determines who that country is. Let's look at this in terms of people. I'm young, 22, and I'm just starting to get out in the world, I've experienced many times how the wrong friends can negatively impact my own image. Even who my family is can have that negative effect. My gene pool is filled with every drug you can imagine. I don't tell this to employers. It almost cost me the job I wanted. I wanted to change positions, something with better hours, higher pay, better chance of being recognized for a promotion and more enjoyable work; I was able to get the position but after my boss learned of my family, she treated me different, as if I was going to go down the same road. Why wouldn't she? Every person in my family does, so what makes me different? That's an extreme situation though. Let's say it's just a couple of friends that are troublemakers, mostly misdemeanors. If your name gets attached to one of those misdemeanors, it's tainted forever.…

    Teenagers of the 1950s were overwhelmed with the abundance of wealth and freedom that their parents bestowed upon them to compensate for their hardship during war time. Change enveloped the lives of teenagers and they became a new and distinctive figure in society. They became the face of rebellion in the United States and started making their way through life with independent ideas leaving behind their footprint in history. Entertainment felt the full force of this change and transformed to accommodate the modern ways of teenagers. The way they interacted with the opposite sex, their peers, friends and the way they dressed and consumed all changed significantly.…
