blog 8: CULTURE

For this week’s blog I found an article on Wikipedia about the culture of the United States. When the word culture is said many people think of Indian tribes dancing around a fire or African paintings. Believe it or not but the U.S has a pretty unique culture of its own. From the United States traditional food to the arts and literature there are so many things that we do daily that are different from other cultures. The food in the U.S is widely ranged from Tex-Mex (which is Mexican food, but not as original as the food you would get in Mexico) to the Lee-Ann Chin’s Chinese food. There is also the traditional food such as hot dogs, burgers, pizza and more. For entertainment there is so much you can do. Every holiday is celebrated with usually a party for which many people dance hip hop and jump up and down. On a typical Friday night you would find many people dancing, going to movies, hanging out with friends and watching sport shows for fun. Other special traditions in the U.S are the state fairs that happen each year. At state fairs you will find every food item on a stick and fun games for the children to do. Another one is the Super bowl. This fun tradition consists of sport fans getting together to eat junk food, watch the championship football game, and just to have a good time. As you can see, the United States has many of its own traditions which make it such a unique culture as a whole.
