To all the American users, what is American culture? (1 Viewer)

[Shimmer]

It's just that I don't really understand what defines american culture? Like the more I think the more I just confuse myself so someone please educate me

Yeah, like Julian said, it's mainly the social aspects of it all.

Football, Friday night parties, hotdogs, beaches, McDonalds.

Oh I see, I was about to say is McDonald's a part of American culture but thought that would be rude, wouldn't really expect that a fast food chain is part of a culture

It's not as obvious as a lot of other countries just because we're so young compared to a lot of others and we aren't exactly native to the land. Then you consider that there really are a lot of immigrants here so there is a lot of cultures mixing together. I think there's more a mentality that binds people together more so than what one would think of a culture.

That makes sense

Really depends.
America is not just one thing.
Well except it used to be more dedicated to freedom and finding your path now they all want to be baby sat, but I digress.

America is huge, both in land mass and culture. It truly is an amalgamation of all that built it.
Sure you can say blue jeans, pop music , fast food, Pizza.

America is an Idea. Borrowed rather heavily from Locke
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. (Locke said property.)

They may not have always remembered that. As a very young country like many youth they had a plan and tons of enthusiasm.
The culture is the future is theirs, its is a firm belief that no matter how politically incorrect it is America is the best.
In their hearts most feel that; sure they whine about this or that, but even the very rich and disgruntled rarely actually leave.

optimism is Americas culture.

Colonialism. Lies. Sports. Chain food. Hot dogs. Thinking our way is the best way regardless if another country has a better method with better results. Using Fahrenheit. Using imperial units.

Damn you really just went hard on your own culture 😂

It depends on who you ask tbh, because as others have said, America consists of lots of different people kinda crammed together.

 

[ddeonghwaaa]

I wouldnt say that there is "American culture" mostly because we have many different cultures already in America. So there isnt just one specifically. It also depends on the person you are asking or talking to.

I guess defining it can be hard since there are so many different cultures in our country. An asian-american might give a different answer than a Latino and so on. Also, depends on what part of the country you live in, I guess.
The culture in my area is very diverse, so that's how I would describe it. Diverse and food lol very important

America, in general, has so much culture but not our own, we're a big melting pot of different cultures. I guess socially were more free? in terms of school it's definitely stressful but compared to other countries the school environment is usually free. at least it is for me, it depends on the school and if you choose to go to public or private school.

in general, I really don't know how to define culture in America because it's so different from person to person.

Hmm... yoga pants? But I think more along the lines of different cultures coming together. I'm Latina and my roommates were all descended from different ethnicities (most were ABCs) and nationalities, so we all had similar and different views of living in the US.
