(North?) American culture. This is a very diverse culture. There’s no exact way to follow. As in your country, China, people will keep the peace among others by expressing themselves very little. Though in North America, everyone is given the right to express themselves on a very daft level. The enormity of our flexible civil liberties doesn’t facilitate anything. North America isn’t a bad melting pot, in other words a society composed of many different cultures. Though, we are certainly on the dinner table!  That was to indicate to you that Americans generally overeat. Processed foods are seen as “natural”. You’ll have people who don’t even know what a farm looks like here. North Americans are ignorant due to lack of self-motivation and due to people not helping or correcting others wrongs. Most people will not point out if you are wrong here. This is because they’re not sure if you are or they don’t care to correct you. North Americans are generally pretentious beings. We’ve got the Internet, electronic updates and so on which enforces us to dream ;) To conclude, North Americans love leisure time, more than the French. If not all of us, many of us Americans will refuse to see or take opportunities of more responsibility (like working for career promotions) and most would rather be watching TV, irrelevant Internet browsing, and just doing nothing.
