Our Mission

Americain.org was created to help people better understand the United States, without cliches or ideology.

        For whom?
        Students preparing for university exchange or studies in the USA
Expatriates moving to or considering living in the United States
Travelers who want to better understand the country before their visit
Curious minds who want to decode American news and current events
Anyone seeking a balanced and nuanced view of the USA

      

Why This Site Exists

The United States is often misunderstood, mainly because of:

Sensationalist media: Coverage focused on controversies and extremes
Cultural cliches: Movies, series and stereotypes don't reflect daily reality
Systemic differences: Political, social and cultural systems are hard to understand without context
Lack of balanced resources: Few comprehensive and neutral guides available

We believe that better understanding helps to:

Move beyond prejudices and stereotypes
Make informed decisions (studies, expatriation, travel)
Follow American news with an informed perspective
Appreciate cultural differences without judgment

Our Approach

1. Neutrality and Objectivity

We strive to present facts in a neutral and balanced way:

No political bias (neither pro- nor anti-American)
Factual presentation of different systems and viewpoints
Recognition of both advantages AND disadvantages of each approach
USA/Europe comparisons without value judgments

2. Clarity and Accessibility

We make information understandable for everyone:

Clear language, without unnecessary jargon
Structured and educational explanations
Concrete and contextualized examples
Practical guides directly usable

3. Rigor and Reliability

We base our content on reliable sources:

Official data (Census Bureau, US government, institutions)
Academic research and recognized think tanks
International comparative studies (OECD, UN, Pew Research)
Official legal and administrative documentation

4. Nuance and Complexity

We recognize that the United States is complex and diverse:

Avoid simplistic generalizations
Highlight regional, social and cultural differences
Present multiple perspectives on controversial topics
Acknowledge gray areas and uncertainties
