United States of America

American culture has evolved from its original British beginnings and is still evolving from a mixture of world cultures. It is a large and diverse culture with a strong emphasis on freedom of expression with extremes at both end of the spectrum present in its society. Nevertheless, there are general characteristics present. Americans may criticise their government, (that is their legal right), nevertheless, the majority are very patriotic and believe the USA is one of the best, if not the best country in the world. There is a strong conviction amongst Americans that the USA has set an example for the world for democracy and peace between nations.

Americans are generally polite but they will stand up for what they believe. They can be surprisingly candid and they will respect people who are so. They are not shy in voicing an opinion (this aspect can be seen by many cultures as being outspoken and aggressive) but at the same time, they would not want to knowingly embarrass a guest or host in public. There is not much an American will not talk about except possibly strong personal convictions such as religion. They love humour and sarcasm and can even joke about themselves.
