"The American Effect"

Paper Summary:

This paper describes and reviews the art exhibits on display at the Whitney Museum. The paper points out that the exhibits tend toward stereotypical portrayals of American society and American citizens and offer very little new insight or point of views about America.

From the Paper:

"In summary, "The American Effect" tells us a great deal about how the world sees America as a nation, and how the world views the contemporary American as an individual. Unfortunately, if "The American Effect" is any true judge of the world's view of America, the rest of the globe is a long way from developing any novel and insightful glimpses into either America or Americans. Put simply, "The American Effect" is a bit of a disappointment for anyone hoping to come away with any new insights into the American psyche. The individual displays themselves are sometimes excellent and revealing, but as a whole the collection fell disappointingly short of my expectations."
