　　Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

　　Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so梒alled Americanization of France has its critics.

　　They fear that “assembly條ine lifec” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely（but less productive）old French style. What will happen, they ask, taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in lifeto joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café?
