Emily in Paris Agendas | Season 1 Episode 2 Masculin Féminin & Episode 3 Sexy or Sexist

Ground floor equals to 1st floor in the US while it doesn't in France. First floor in France is second floor in the US.

In the US, the floor of a building that is level with the ground is called the first floor or ground floor, while in France (and most of Europe) it is called the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is called the second floor in the US, but the first floor in France. This difference can cause some confusion for travelers and visitors.

According to Wikipedia, this difference may have originated from different building traditions in Europe and America. In medieval Europe, the ground floor of a building was often used for storage or animals, and not for human habitation. Therefore, the first floor was considered the main floor where people lived. In America, however, the ground floor was often used for shops or offices, and was therefore more important and prominent.

How do you think it affects the privacy and dignity of the people she photographs? How do you think it relates to the ethical and legal issues of using their images without their permission? How would you feel if you were one of the people she photographed and saw yourself on her Instagram? How do you think the French people would react to her posts?

Would you join the prude police or the tone-deaf to the cultural moment?
