This video shows how something as simple as a word can bring about some sort of action by a differing political and social group. While English has become the main language in the world, France seems to have a hard time accepting this fact and attempt to keep popular, worldwide, phrases from being said in their country. This petty attempt to keep French people using solely French words shows that language can be a touchy subject in some regions of the world. While this policing of words may be accepted in France, it would definitely not be accepted in other areas such as in the United States. While French civilians will accept this word policing, in the United States there is a much higher value in being able to speak in your own way and not being forced to change which words you use. This illustrates the very different social and political views and practices of different regions that may not be very acceptable in some other areas of the world.

A war on banning American-English phrases? Obviously France didn’t get the memo about the growing global community, either that, or they are choosing to fight it tooth and nail (Whoa. Too many puns). The world today is more united then ever, whether it be economically, politically, or socially; everyone is connected somehow. We share everything; the whole world is sitting around eating sushi, wearing Northface jackets made in Bangladesh, watching their country’s version of The Voice (a show of Dutch origin), and i-chatting someone across the world. Needless to say, the world has become a very small place.
France has become known as a country that is steeped in tradition. The French are very sensitive about every part of their culture, and try very hard to preserve it. But why would they reject words that, yes, have American-English origins, but have distinct meanings across the world? I’d say that it’s just another attempt at the French to combat outside influence, and most notably, deter its society away from all things American. Let’s see how they feel the next time we change our language to include freedom fries! Ha-ha

It's not so simple ! You can't say "the French" as if everybody rejects english words. It's a national policy but in fact it's mainly a rearguard action denied everyday in the street.
