Is There A True American Culture?
Is there a true American culture? I think there are a lot of other cultures that make up the American culture. When I read the article “The 100% American” it explains that everything you wake up to is not made in the USA. Everything that we use is an invention that was made a long time ago in a different country. Even our food is not a 100% American; I mean where do you think pizza came from! It came from Italy and Rice came from the Asian countries. So not even our food is American. Our clothes aren’t usually not even from America. The vehicles we drive are not made in America either. As you look back on your family tree, they probably originate from other countries and not the USA. So your beliefs and values probably originate from way back and can trace it to another countries culture. Even your religion is from different countries that came over to the America. Sometimes I think that some of us don’t even realize where some of the stuff we use in our daily lives comes from. I think that there is no real American culture, but it is very unique because of the different people that come to America and pass on their cultures and traditions. So therefore everything that is in our culture we get from other countries so we are a melting pot of all their traditions.
