Culture, Culture, Culture

To me American culture is a diverse group of people living together in one nation. Americans are people who live in the United States of America and are legal citizens, who are patriotic, and stand up for their country and are proud of who and what they are. For many, America is a place to migrate to freedom and rights, but there are still laws and responsibilities. American culture is mainly a "me culture", where people like to be individuals rather than in groups. In recent history Americans have begun to develop into a "we culture". Americans are proving to be less insular and more towards the idea of togetherness by pulling together in the hard times the U.S.A. has been experiencing and becoming more dependent on others.
My own culture is diverse. My culture is Christian, American, English, Scottish, and Polish, and more. I am proud of my culture, and who and what I am. I am friends with people whose cultures differ from mine so we learn from each other. Since I am Christian some of my friends have not been in a Christian church before, but I am Presbyterian so I have only seen a few communions for my Catholic friends and family. I am Scottish and have been to the Scottish Festival but most people I know have not even heard of it. Everyone I know is American because I do not know anyone who lives outside of the country, but we are all not just American. I am English because that is the language I speak, write, and understand. I am learning German and I know people who are multilingual. I would say that my culture is more of a “me culture” because I like to finish projects before I hang out with my friends and family, although I do not mind being in a group or with a partner because I will need skills like that some day and I like being around people.
