In the documentary Where To Invade Next, Micheal Moore visited several countries and explored the ways they are different from the United States. He first visits Italy, where he discovers they get about 6 weeks paid vacation leave per year, while most Americans get zero days of paid vacation. They also get paid for maternity leave, honeymoons, and other holidays. Many employees get two hour lunch breaks where they can go home and eat a home cooked meal. Even with all of these vacations, Italian companies still get their work done and have enough money to pay employees. Moore also visits France, where school meals are very advanced compared to American school lunches. They are served healthy, delicious meals which even includes a cheese course. This makes the kids happier and healthier in school and they have a lower obesity rate. Moore even shows them a picture of a school lunch from the U.S. and all the children are shocked. Next he visits Finland, which has one of the best education systems in the world. They do not have homework, and have shorter school days than the U.S.A. The one thing teachers want the most is for children to be happy. They also have no standardized testing in Finland. He also visits Slovenia where students go to college for free and have no debt. Slovenia colleges also accept American students for free. Micheal Moore explores all these countries and says he was taking the ideas and America was going to claim them as their own.
