American Culture
Boom, Boom, Boom! Multicolored fireworks glisten in the sky and come falling down to the ground. People watch in awe around their family and friends. This is 4th of July and it’s just one of America’s unique holiday celebrations and a big part of its culture. The USA is very unique from other countries. America has many holidays that other countries don’t have. We celebrate Valentine’s Day, Groundhog Day, Flag Day, and many, many more. We eat different foods at different times than other people across the world and we wear unfamiliar clothing to people from across the globe.
I would define American culture as unique and happy. American culture is unique because of the food we eat and the celebrations we celebrate. Americans tend to eat a lot of fast food. Fast food is a very easy way to get a meal when you don’t feel like making anything or even for a quick snack. Other countries like France don’t have fast food. People from France don’t even have a French word for fast food. They just call it fast food like us Americans. America is a happy place because America has a great education system for kids ranging from grades pre-school to 12th grade seniors in high school. America also has very few homeless people roaming the streets, which makes it a bit safer. America also has food pantry’s that feed people who can’t find a way to get food. Last but not least most Americans have a place to live, water to drink, and food to eat. This is why America is a happy and unique country.
I think my culture is very common with what the average American culture is. I eat dinner with my family every Saturday and Sunday, I go to church on Sunday, I wear American clothing, I eat American food, and I celebrate every American holiday from St. Patrick’s Day to Christmas. I think I do almost everything in an American way and that is why my culture is American culture.
