Abstract
South America and North America form two very different realities of the American continent. Histories, languages, democracies, or policies are various elements which distinguish politically, geographically and economically these poles of America. That is why, if we have to study it, we will need to specify our object. Thus, we prefer to take an interest in what composes largely one of these parts: that is to say, the United States of America. Although the United States are a powerful country fixed firmly in the history of most developed nations, some aspects of their social organization, their policies, or their culture in general, darken the magnificent image which has spread through the world since their Declaration of Independence on the fourth of July in 1776.
