For many British people the US is associated with power in international politics, *Hollywood, money and Violence. The British are a little jealous of America's power. But although Americans believe they rule the world, few of them know much about anything outside the US. The British think that money matters more than anything else to Americans, and they do not really approve of this and do not like brash (= too public) displays of wealth. They also believe that the US is a dangerous place where you cannot walk in the streets or subways without fear of being attacked. Despite this, many want to go there for their holidays. Young people generally have a much more positive attitude and love everything that comes out of America.
