I would define American culture very diverse, different, and smart. In the U.S. everyone does something different in their culture, but some things are actually very similar. Holidays; most Americans celebrate holidays, such as Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and others. Americans also somewhat eat a lot of the same foods. Most of us have had Mexican, Asian, Polish, and of course American food. Even though most of the types of food we eat were not necessarily originated in the U.S., they are often made and eaten here. American culture is very advanced for the most part, unlike in all countries. America has televisions, cell phones, computers, and other technologically advanced pieces of equipment. Most Americans are use to these types of privileges in their culture. In America, there are many types of religion; Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, yet some people choose to not even have a religion.
I believe that I have a very similar culture as of most of my friends. In the U.S., I would say my culture is pretty normal. I have a religion, which is Christian. I celebrate a lot of holidays, such as Christmas and Easter, which I celebrate because of my religion. I also celebrate some nonreligious holidays; just for pure enjoyment. I myself have not been in many cultural experiences, but from what I know my culture may be very different from those around the world. In other countries, some people may have no religion, and can’t/ don’t rely on technology like I do. In my culture there is so much technological equipment that I have the privilege of using, unlike in some other countries where they have almost none. I have recently come to realize, that my own culture differs in some ways than the American culture, let alone the many cultures of the world.
