I was born in Switzerland, I lived in Italy and now live in the USA. My family is Italian so I consider myself Italian.
This is how I see it:
Swiss people are extremely professional, efficient and definitely know how to keep their cities clean and neat. However, the life there is extremely boring and people are cold and not too friendly. This is the same for most northern countries, where the cold weather forces most people to stay inside and threfore socialize less.
Italians really know how to enjoy life, even without being rich. They value family, they love to stay close to their relatives, and turn any given Sunday into a day of feast just by enjoying each other's company. However they are extremely lazy. Lazy to work hard, lazy to learn other languages, lazy to adapt to other countries when they travel. It will be almost impossible to convince an Italian to change city, they like routine. Education there is excellent, unfortunately is not exploited due to horrible organizational skills of te Government. Same thing for keeping the cities clean...what a waste of monuments ! They are all dirty...unbelievable !!!!
Americans...well, where should I even start. Educations is a joke, except when we talk about Masters. Masters are great, but Elementary, Middle and High School...please, what a pathetic joke. No homework, nothing that stimulates any brain cell. Cities, for the most part, are kept clean and I see the US as #1 in organization. Everything is planned, organized, it is all a big scheme. Scary at times. Family values ? Nada, gone ! This happens because it is so easy to move from one state to the other, that with time people lose touch. You find the same language, the same stores, the same everything in NYC and California. As a result everybody moves and that's it, you lose the important contacts in life. Americans are, unfortunately, very materialistic. It is all about money and your status, that's it, that's all it matters. It is a society based on a big lie, a big bubble, totally empty.
Therefore, no contry is perfect: there were you have organization, you have a boring life. There were you enjoy the simplest things, you become lazy....
That's life I guess, but to come here and judge a contry without being objective, you truly gotta be an idiot....
