Typically American

The United States is a country of exceptional diversity!

The United States has long been nicknamed “the melting pot,” because its population is made up of so many different races, ethnicities and cultures. America takes much pride in its multicultural breadth.

There are a number of important holidays in the United States. One is July 4th—the country’s birthday, which celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Thanksgiving is another important holiday feast in which Americans give thanks for everything they have been blessed with.

Sports are an enormous part of American culture. Football, baseball and basketball are the nation’s most popular sports and the Super Bowl is the most popular yearly event.

Not all Americans eat fast food, in fact, most big cities are renowned for their international cuisines.

America is often described in terms of its large size. Visitors often comment on how big everything is including houses, streets and cars.

One of the most important tenets of American culture is the belief in individualism. The “American Dream” refers to American commitment to universal rights and freedom for all its citizens. This is a very strong sentiment in the country and is often signalled by flying an American Flag.
