The professor of “Early French Something” doesn’t realize his life is dependant on the skill of that non-English speaking auto mechanic who fixed his brakes.

Actually, those guys generally weren't so bad. For one thing, a true expert on the French Revolution might have a greater appreciation of the auto mechanic than Suzy Silverspoon. Unfortunately, those western civ./lit guys have been replaced with Post-Modern French Existentialism, etc. Montesquieu has been replaced by Sartre. Of course, a lot of this stuff started with two Frenchies, Rousseau and Descartes. Then, the Krauts picked up the ball and ran with it (Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, etc. ), and the rest is history.
