My obsession with american culture ( vs british culture)

1. The culture of the United States is primarily Western, but is influenced by African, Native American, Asian, Polynesian, and Latin American cultures.
   1. Americans need a lot of “elbow room”; they like personal space around them.

      Negative stereotypes

      • Materialism, overconsumption, and extreme capitalism

      “

      Perhaps the most popular stereotype of Americans is that of economic materialism. They may be seen as caring about nothing but money, judging everything by its economic value, and scorning those of lower socioeconomic status.

      • Uneducatedness, ignorance, and gullibility

      “

      Americans may be stereotyped as ignorant of all countries and cultures beyond their own. This stereotype shows them as lacking intellectual curiosity, thus making them ignorant of other cultures, places, or anything outside of their own lives or the United States.

      • Obesity

      “

      Among the most popular stereotypes is that Americans eat an excess amount of fast food, and are obese. With 33.8% of the population obese, of all the countries of the developed world, the United States has the highest rate of obesity. This is well reflected by the popular “fat American” stereotype.

      Positive stereotypes

      • Generosity

      “

      A positive stereotype of Americans is that they are very generous. The United States sends aid and supplies to many countries, and Americans may be seen as people who are charitable or volunteer.

      • Optimism

      “

      Americans are seen as very positive and optimistic people.

      • Hardworking

      “

      Americans are stereotyped as hardworking people, whether in their jobs or other matters.

      The UWS is known for being super liberal. The Beat Movement, for example, began on the UWS. It's known for loud-mouthed activists, or eccentric and artistic intellectuals.
