The American Culture

This week we explored the idea of the American culture. The default answer is were a culture composed of many other cultures, a melting pot of you will. But a better anology is a salad bowl that still has individual components but as a whole the pieces make a whole. I think the American culture is about inovation and change and the pursuit of something better. We try so hard to be our best and move up in the world that this actually defines who we are as a people. In my own life, our Stevenson culture reflects the American values of hard work and doing your best in order to get into a good school, get a degree, find a good job and "make it" in the world.
