The Truth About American Culture"

When we say "American Dream", what does that really mean? The thing that people could argue about that statement is the fact that America can not just be its own culture because America is made up of so many different cultures. Just because the majority of the United States (70.9%) is white Americans doesn't that the white people make up the American culture. I think that there is no customs American people have that haven't been influenced by the other cultures that bring us Americans closer together as a country.  For example we have birthday parties and we use piñatas. Kids have a heck of a time using those, but what’s ironic about that is that the piñata originated in Mexico and it somehow got to be a part of the American thing that we sometimes do at parties. Another activity that is a big deal and is a part of some peoples ever day lives is the sport soccer. Soccer was originated in Europe and it made its way to the United States and we play a lot too! I think it is so difficult to say that Americans have their own culture because we are the way we are because of the many different kinds of people that make up the United States. We are called the boiling pot for a reason and that reason is that we have so many wonderful and not so wonderful people in America that are generations from all corners of the world!
