The first is that it mcets per— sonality needs such as frustra— tion and ego-building. Another is that it can be employed in “political and economic attempts to get what one wants." To ap— pear rational, one voices “plaus- lble" reasons for Dnc’s prejudice, The third source is the gradual» ly built up hatred which has been transmitted by process of assimilation.

The schools in France make great demands on the students and have very high require nients. Not only do the students work hard. but they are also active in politics. Christiansen concluded that most of France’s resentment to- ward the U.S. lies in her refusal to accept her role as a second. class nation in the world today.
