Feedback about Duke university
Hello,
I did an exchange with two students from Duke
University. They were both Americans and from different states. One from San
Francisco, and did all her way long to North Carolina to finish her studies.
And the other from New York. They were both happy to be at Duke University.
It took us a long time to fix the date. At first it
was so difficult to find a convenient time for the three of us because we were
in exam’s period. Therefore we agreed to chat Friday April 24th in
the evening, which was the beginning of the third period holidays. We used
skype as a mean of communication.
We red some articles in French and English, they were
very interesting but we decided not to stick to them. We spoke of freedom of
speech from our point of view and how it developed during the past few years. Then,
we interested in the terrorist attacks in general and how the world is going crazy.
We also highlighted the hypocrisy of the media that yells the death of one
occidental man and forgets about thousands of million people who die every day in
Middle East and Africa because of terrorism. All along our discussion we
compared the regimes and laws among USA, France and of course my beloved
country Morocco. I was surprised that the first amendment in the United States
constitution protects the right of freedom of expression and allows everybody
to express himself freely without government interference. I spent a wonderful
time with them, and I learned a lot about Americans.
In order to practice English and French we switched
between the both each fifteen minutes. One of the two girls had a brilliant
level in French. She explained that she started learning it at a young age and did
a six months exchange program in France last year. Here is my experience I hope
you’ll enjoy reading it.
