American Culture

First off, this post is late. It really stinks being sick! I have been sick since thursday morning and I am even debating going to school tomorrow.

I think there is a such thing as American Culture. It is true that there are many subcultures which add to this big, American Culture. We all seem to have similar morals and values. Society tries to put the same thought into our minds. Drugs are bad. Underage drinking is bad. Don't cheat. Don't steal. Help others. It seems that generally, we all have the same mindset. Success. All Americans have the mindset to succeed, yet some dont actually achieve it. We go through elementary school to prepare us for highschool. We go to highschool to prepare us for college. We go to college to prepare us for our career. We have our career to get money and have a life. Everyone wants the perfect life which consists of family, money, and happiness. If we dont have these three things, because of divorce, poverty, then we feel like failures.

So even though we have different nationalities which have their own customs and traditons, the culture of America is all leading up to success.
