LIVING LIKE AN AMERICAN

1 First and foremost, Americans see themselves as individuals rather than members of a group. They feel they are responsible for their own lives and their own future. So they prefer to be independent and not rely on other people.

2 While Americans can be very individualistic, they also have a strong sense of teamwork. In colleges, you see this team spirit in study groups when students work together on projects or prepare for exams. After a natural disaster such as a tornado, you see Americans working together to achieve a common goal.

3 Americans live by schedules. They are often in a hurry, rushing from one engagement to the next. So punctuality is important. When you have an appointment or an invitation in the US, you shouldn‘t make people wait. Obviously, the same goes for college lessons, too!

4 When you meet Americans for the first time, they are open, direct and outgoing. It‘s normal to make eye contact and smile. However, you shouldn‘t confuse casual friendliness with deep friendships. These develop over a much longer period of time.

5 In general, Americans are much more informal than many other cultures when they interact with other people. They tend to show less deference to age, wealth or social position. In conversation, it‘s common to use first names and dress and posture are usually relaxed.

6 Americans assume people need time to be by themselves, to have ―me time”— time to think, reflect and recover this energy. The right to personal privacy is even included in the US constitution.

7 The average distance you should keep from another person varies from culture to culture. This personal space is very important to Americans. So in conversation or even standing in the subway, you shouldn‘t get too close. Americans also tend to avoid physical contact with strangers.

8 SuccessisperhapsthemostimportantvalueinAmericanlife. Everyone wants to succeed at something, from college to sport to work. Many other values — individualism, freedom, social mobility, making money — are linked to success. One downside of this drive for success is that it also makes people competitive. But there‘s no getting away from it: success lies at the heart of the American Dream.

Многие другие ценности – индивидуализм, свобода, социальная лестница, зарабатывание денег – это все связано с успехом. Обратная сторона этого стремления к успеху , что оно также делает людей конкурентами. Но от этого никуда не деться: успех лежит в сердце американской мечты.
