The parameter "US-THEM" seen in the text of Nussbaum can be used not only for a critical reflection about American values related to blind patriotism and radical positions beyond the national borders. It serves also to think in cultural stereotypes that are consolidated by the lack of information from "them" (the other, that basically is "us") and the lack of opportunity to know peoples realities without the dependence of sight abroad.
