Welcome to this week's blog. I will be talking about and giving a brief summary of the documentary Where to Invade Next . In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore visits countrys around the world to see how they differ from the USA and how he could “ steal “ their ideas to make America better. This documentary was trying to be more persuasive than informational. The countries he traveled to were Italy, France, Finland, Slovenia, Germany, Portugal, Norway, Tunisa, and Iceland. The first place he visited was Italy, Where they have up to 8 weeks paid vacation. The owners of companies said they give their workers these long breaks because it makes them less stressed and keeps them from getting sick. In America Most people barely get 2 weeks off of work. In Italy they also are in the top 15 most productive countries even though they have this much time off work. The next stop was France where they serve actual courses for lunch in school. They have full course meals with fresh foods that are healthy. The schools have their own chefs that prepare and make the food, and people come out and serve the food to the children. Their lunches also cost less to make then the one sin America. The next country was Finland, there they have the most highly educated kids. The kids don’t even go to school for 8 hours a day. They also have little to no homework. They principles think that letting a kid have time to be child let them grow and learn things on their own but also learn while in school. In Slovenia they have free universities, no tuition so no one who goes there will be in debt. Germany has a big middle class, the workers work 36 hours but get paid for 40. Everybody only has one job to be able to live. Companies can not contact a worker once they left work. The companies think keeping their workers out of stressful environments it will keep them healthier and want to work for them. Next in Portugal they don’t arrest people for having drugs on them anymore. This has actually decreased the use of drugs in the country. In Norway they have a very laid back prison system they treat the prisoners with respect and let them have their own responsibilities to make them feel normal and help them once they get back into the real world. Also the highest sentencing you could have is 21 years. The next stop was Tunisia where they have government funded abortion, this has helped women become equal to men and giving them an equal opportunity in life. The last country was Iceland where they had a women president and women are highly respected there.
