Reasons of Why France Still Experiences The Colonization Outcomes even Today

France is one of the greatest countries in Western Europe whose influence, not only in the continent but also all over the world cannot be overstated. It has extended to many continents through some practises and left their cultural heritage in these regions. For example, France, the winner of the world cup in 2018, consists of many dark-skinned footballers although original French people are fair skinned. From this example, we can understand that France still experiences the colonization outcomes even today.

Another example can be given with the French language. French was once a de facto language of the world and many people in the world, particularly Africans, have adopted French as their mother tongue. But this fact gradually changed with the turn of the 21st century and French has had to leave its place to English, which is now the de facto language in the world.

France is a country whose history dates back to Medieval times. Beginning with a kingdom, France evolved into a great country. Although we see some colonisation activities in her history, we also see that she was one of the few Europeans to give women the rights to claim rights in some fields.

Now, France pursues a separation policy in power. It is a democracy whose judicial, legislative and executive powers are separated sharply. In these powers, none has the right and power to intervene in one another.

According to the World Bank, France is classified as one of the wealthiest countries whose citizen receive high income. The government is responsible for providing the best means of education, health care and pensions after people get retired. When it comes to the social facilities of the officers, France has its distinctive rules. For instance a one-plus-one house is allocated to a single teacher whose rent is so cheap and when this teacher gets married, a two-plus-one house is given and when the couple has a baby, the house grows into a three-plus-one.

The French possess one of the world’s largest economies and it is a harmony of private enterprise with government involvement. Tourism is a major contributor to the economy and France generally tops lists of most visited countries since it has got very famous landscapes and historical buildings notably the Eiffel Tower, which everybody knows well. Other major economic sectors include industry, agriculture, energy and defence. The country is one of the world’s top exporters of weapons. Its army is strong enough and without aid, it can defend itself.

When it comes to their language again, we find words and structures similar to Celtic and Latin languages. As immigration processes started in the early 20th century which still goes on, immigrants have naturally brought their languages and cultures into this magnificent country and as a result, the French language has altered to a great extent.

France has become one of the most frequent scenes of terrorist attacks and beginning with a terrorist attack in 2015, which claimed 130 lives has aggravated the community’s attitudes toward Islam. This event was harshly criticised by satirical magazines and newspapers in the country which arouse some hatred in people of Islam origin.

Even though France has many unique qualities, it shares common problems with other nations in the world such as joblessness. This issue has hit the country since 2016 and Macron government has been endeavouring to come up with solutions to the issue. But the government is confident about tackling with the problem. As France is one of the couple to found the European Union and a permanent member of the United Nations, she has a great word power on any issue. By the way, if you happen to visit France one day, don’t forget to taste delicious meals of the French cuisine, which is one of the best in the world.
