How and why Europeans, Middle/Near Easterners, Africans and foreigners would select a woman as “La crème de la crème”? Would Europeans and foreigners select these American “Hot” and “Talented” women who are on our list? In the United States, wealth is an indication of success and power. In Europe, wealth is simply a financial strength. More people in America would rather listen to Donald Trump screaming: “YOU ARE FIRED”, or lecturing on how to strike a deal and “get rich” than to listen to Bill Moyers, Campbell, Ben Gourion or Bertrand Russell conversing on African folklore, Indian mythology, state affairs, Judaism and ethics in government relations. The American society has contradictory “truths”, values and ideologies that nourish its social fabric and define its industrial perimeter and moral landscape. Those American values and truths are not ipso facto “La Vérité de La Palice” to foreigners and more particularly to Europeans and citizens of the immense third world and undeveloped countries. In that context, foreigners in assessing and recognizing a person’s importance, value and degree of respectability, tend to take into consideration, very specific criteria and pre-requisites which do not make sense to Americans. For instance, a woman in America who is considered “hot” might be considered in Europe as cold as a French onion soup left over. Especially, if her qualification of “hot” is based upon earning power and gossipy assets. Many of the American ladies who made our list of the most talented and hottest women would not be considered talented and hot in Europe and many parts of the world. Even, the epistemological and terminological use of the word” HOT” is not acceptable and accepted as a “proper and civilized word” in many foreign societies vocabularies. A woman should not be labeled and referred to as “HOT”. Europeans believe that there are so many other attributes, virtues and qualities which should be used instead. Foreigners consider the word “HOT” vulgar and inappropriate, yet it is quite acceptable in America to call a woman “She is hot!”. Nevertheless, a great number of the American women who made our list embodies and symbolizes the essence of success, dignity and respectability and would serve as a role model to Europeans, Africans, Middle/Near Easterners, you name it…. It would be very interesting to know who are the American women who would qualify for such an honor? Do foreigners consider Oprah Wimfrey as important and socially eminent as the former first Lady, Senator Hillary Clinton, for example? Do Europeans, per esempio, consider former judge and TV personality Catherine Crier as hot as Britney Spears?
