A great part of traveling is not only learning how people “do things” elsewhere but perhaps even taking a few solid ideas home. The internet is chock-full of examples of things Americans could perhaps learn, but it’s also worth considering the reverse, what could other’s learn from the states?

Someone asked “Is there anything you think Europe could learn from the US?” and people shared some ideas Europeans might want to borrow. So get comfortable as you scroll through, if you happen to not be American, maybe take some notes and upvote the best posts. Be sure to comment your own thoughts and experiences below.

    As a German I have to admit, that we have a new germination of racism here. But we are still better in reprocessing our past than most other countries.

    so the dude is in one country : Norway and all of Europe is racist. Former President Donald Trump said immigrants coming to the U.S. are “poisoning the blood of our country,” The term “blood poisoning” was used by Hitler in his manifesto “Mein Kampf,” in which he criticized immigration and the mixing of races. “

    We are definitely racists in Europe, and our racism counts as racism. I think, though, that it is completely different from racism in the US, because it comes from different roots and it "works" in a different way. Things are slowly changing (luckily), but Europe is not as ethnically diverse as the US: for example I grew up without a single person of Asian or African origin at school in the 80s-90s (it was definitely not a rich area). Things also vary in the different European countries (France does not have the same racism problems than Greece, for example). I believe we should be honest and critical about this issue, on all levels, study the problem from an European perspective, and study possible solutions that work for us. Easier said than done, as always...

    I'm afraid that if you say that as an American, many Europeans will point out that your segregation laws were in existence up until 1964. Of course that doesn't mean that there is no racism in Europe, but it does mean that we did not have that kind of institutionalised racism.

    Both the US and most countries in the EU have a racist past. The big difference is that the EU is much further along in addressing the issue by treating it as a systemic problem, while in the US, the discussion mostly revolves around etiquette, representation in pop culture and individual responsibilities... and it's not working.

    I've seen people from all over the world traveling across Europe...the only widely disliked group are gypsies, and that's less about race and more about how they behave. Xenophobia might be more apt....but again it's not a case of "different people are gross" but rather an acknowledgement that it's not viable to have tens or hundreds of thousands of people who don't speak the language, don't have homes, jobs, money or any semblance of plan flooding into already strained economies. Whether people want to accept it or not, everything has consequences....and it's not exactly fair to expect that people who've already built homes and lives shoulder the brunt of those consequences and have their lives negatively impacted so others might improve.

    like with the small talk, and also expressed by passivity and lack of initiative, the europeans might sometimes look worse until u analyze the terms and the context. european racism was instigated in many occasions from us, most recently by republican trumpism and democrat anti-russian interventionism. but otherwise, i would have more courage in breaking (with measure and sense, of course) a fascist reunion in an european country than trying to reason with a (southern) granny in a good day.

    While racism is rising in both the EU (+ Norway) and the US, in most European countries we see far-right parties gaining popularity but still far from the majority, and facing competition from many other parties. In contrast, in the US, one of the two major parties is openly racist and is likely to win the next election. This is a very significant difference. Not to mention, issues like segregation, poverty, and the prison population are aspects of racism that are far more serious in the US than in the EU.

    “A/C Won’t Kill You”: 39 Things Americans Take For Granted That Europeans Should Learn From The Americans with Disabilities Act or the ADA. The United States is one of the most accessible nations for those with disabilities. When I went abroad I was shocked as to how impossible it would be to get around if you weren’t fully able. And weed legalization of course.

    Every time I go to Paris, I wonder how the hell people with disabilities get around. All the buildings are old as shit and have steep steps and sharp edges.

    KazahanaPikachu:
    They don’t get around. Especially in Paris, it’s rare for me to see someone in a wheelchair, on crutches, etc. I always wondered why, and it’s probably because they don’t go out much in the first place...because it’s too difficult!

    “A/C Won’t Kill You”: 39 Things Americans Take For Granted That Europeans Should Learn From Thinking outside of the box. I work for an American company that collabs with a European one every now and then. They are completely unwilling to even challenge conventional wisdom on a topic. For example, here is a scenario that has happened.


    European Company: Conventional wisdom tells us that the best way to do this process is with method X. Compounding factors A, B, and C make this so difficult that it is almost unfeasible to do this. However to go against conventional wisdom would be ridiculous, so we will just charge more.


    American Company: Conventional wisdom tells us that the best way to do this process is with method X. However compounding factors A, B, and C would make this unfeasible. This is a situation that conventional wisdom was not really meant to address. We are going to try something completely different, and we are going to test it thoroughly to make sure it works. As it turns out, this new method Y works better than method X, so now we have a more viable way of producing this product without having to deal with the complicating factors of A, B, and C.


    And then when we inform the European company about this, they freak the hell out because we went against conventional wisdom.

    I am an American who has been to Europe for vacation a bunch of times. At this point I’ve been fortunate to visit most European countries. I have 3 major complaints:

    1. Smoking - just why?

    2. More free water please. Public water fountains would be be great and also, dear restaurants, the tap water IS safe to drink.

    3. Everywhere in Europe (well at least most private residences and hotels, public bathrooms are getting better about touch less) has these knobby faucets that you have to put your whole a*s hand on to operate even if you just got done taking a s**t or chopping up raw chicken or whatever. Please embrace the type of faucets you can operate with the back of your hand or your wrist!

    “A/C Won’t Kill You”: 39 Things Americans Take For Granted That Europeans Should Learn From I have a lot of family and friends in Europe and have been fortunate to have traveled to a majority of European countries. One of the biggest complaints I have is there seems to be more pressure to conform and not stand out as much. The USA accepts individualism so much more.

    liberated-dremora:
    I have recently befriended a French woman who moved to my city. Taking her out with my friends for Halloween was a real trip. She was SO STRESSED about being in a costume in public. She wouldn't take public transit by herself, wore a big coat to cover up what she was wearing while outside, and talked a bunch about not wanting her doorman to see her dressed up. The real kicker is that her costume was just a '60s hippie dress. Like, she could have worn it any day of the week, and nobody would have batted an eyelash.

    > our grid system.

    Grids are easy to navigate, but don't necessarily create the most pedestrian friendly spaces. Having cute alleyways and winding roads can give a city a lot of character. Plus Google Maps makes navigation pretty easy these days. I also say this as someone living in one of the few gridless-American cities.

    Anyways, many European countries charge for public restrooms. I think that's quite cruel, especially since most of them requires coins in an age where everyone has CCs and ApplePay for everything else. Sure, our bathroom doors might not go all the way down to the floor - but they're always free.

    Competition through innovation, not protectionism. I meet with dozens of business leaders in Europe every year, and the consistent feedback that I hear is “we’re not the US,” “we don’t know how to innovate like American firms,” and “we are at least two years behind the Us in X.”

    It’s not a lack of smart people. I think it’s cultural. They expect others to do it, or they think they can put regulations in place to limit the success of companies from other countries. That may have worked when they had colonies around the world and we were in slower industrial ages, but knowledge is liquid. Unlike a manufacturing plant, I can replicate digital success immediately anywhere.

    “A/C Won’t Kill You”: 39 Things Americans Take For Granted That Europeans Should Learn From Not thinking anyone who cracks a small smile at them in public is a crazy person.

    Making free tap water the default and not nearly impossible to get.

    And multiculturalism, if that's the right word. It seems like too many people in Europe don't feel like a part of their country, even if they were born there and lived their whole life there. An immigrant can become an American and be embraced here easily, but not everyone will be considered, for example, Swedish, even if they're from there.

    Freedom of speech: see JK Rowling silencing her critics with UK libel laws. Since the US doesn't recognize foreign defamations of judgement unless they meet US freedom of speech standards, any threat she gives to an American is an empty one.

    “A/C Won’t Kill You”: 39 Things Americans Take For Granted That Europeans Should Learn From Im european and i think americans have a degree of economic awareness that europeans lack. Americans are ultra aware of economic policy problems, inflation, etc, but i barely seen any europeans talk about the rampant money creation by the Central European Bank (Even bigger than the US) thats making prices spike over here. I think the value of individual freedom and personal responsability is also a huge moral that americans have and few europeans support.

    Some Europeans could learn more about Americas role in their nations’ foreign policy decisions. I hate how bloated the US military is, and how much we spend on it- many Europeans share this belief.

    The issue is that European leaders have seeded defense to the United States. That means they do not have to spend as much on their own defense, while also making their nations dependent on US for defense.

    Essentially, if you want to see actual change in America’s foreign policy, then you have to change your nations’ relationship with the US.

    “A/C Won’t Kill You”: 39 Things Americans Take For Granted That Europeans Should Learn From For the love of all things good, establish a paper version of a “one” Euro. The amount of coins I ended up carrying was obnoxious.

    Y’all walk around with pockets jingling full of high value coins - NO WONDER there are hella pickpockets hanging about. 😤


    OH AND TAMPONS. YALL DONT PRODUCE THEM WITH APPLICATORS SO I HAD TO FINGER MYSELF TO INSERT AND IT WAS COMING OUT HALF THE TIME.
    I get maybe bc that’s for the environment but for f***s sake, you can make recycled cardboard applicators. That was so miserable for me studying abroad.
