America as we see it

Wow, America the land of the free and home of the brave. Many thing are so different about America, but its our culture and we fail to see it. America strides of of independence from one another, which  means we stride to be the best of the very best. Thats our culture, thats what we have been raised on, thats what we are use to. But, to someone from somewhere else might think differently. For example we I was in poland i was only 13 at the time, I had a good picture of what values i had and how to be an America. We i went there i was so surprised on so many things. One thing that really hit me was people leaving there doors open. In America we are scared that someone might brake in a steel things or even worse kill us. But in Poland this is this sense of safely and trust the people around you. I thought that was very interesting to me.      i Think it is cool how something so simple in America can be something somewhere else is something totally different. But its our Culture we are use to it.

  1. Nice max, you failed at spelling Way ta go! Just kidding brosky. I agree with you that other countries have some different values and social norms. i especially like the example from class about the Drinking age in Germany, about the people there barely even know what it is, and don't care. because its not an issue there. (16 for beer, 28 for hard liquor i believe)
