An American Journey

Abstract

In 1831, when the US was barely born, the 26 year old Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville came to pay a visit to see what his country and Europe could learn from their energetic young cousin. Today, the US has grown to more than double its physical size and has matured into the richest and most powerful member in the family of nations. Using my experiences and perspectives gained during the different International Fellows field study trips, I have devised the questions to check in what way de Tocqueville's remarkable observations on America, written down in his classic text, Democracy In America, still are valid.
