I choose a website which is published by a man named Vexen Crabtree who specialises in sociology, psychology and religion and his website aims to 'force humanity onwards'.

His article about 'why people hate America - a summary of anti-Americanism' was extremely interesting as he explored many different aspects of why and who hates America and tries to give examples and evidence to support their views. It's sectioned off to who hates America, Invalid criticism of America, why do people hate America and the results of these feelings. This allows him to build up an argument and offer different points to the evidence shown. I also believed it to be a valid source as he did use other books to show evidence, which means they aren't all his feelings of that matter, so it shouldn't be too bias in either way.

His view point on American police force is interesting, as he explains that he does understand that the American government is prone to corruption, although it is a universal problem and the blame can't be but on America alone. There is a statement from the BBC news in 2002 saying 'opinion polls show that half the German population is openly critical of US leadership for a number of reasons; it's failures to consult it's allies as promised, it's refusal to sign up to joint action against global warming and it's protectionist stance on trade issues such as steel and agriculture.' It also goes onto say that many Muslim and Arabic nations hate America due to the bombing, suppressive attitudes and the restriction on financial, commercial and political. These points are all valid as we all know and understand what America is 'trying' to achieve in Iran, Iraq and other countries.

The website below continues to give different view points on why people may hate America for instants, their power over less developed countries, success and jealousy.

I think some of the statements may be influenced by him being American, however he does give two sides to the argument which does allow for debate and discussion over the given information.
