I’m taking a class on comparative cultures, as a broader background in the study of deaf culture, and one of our texts is a handbook of American culture for foreigners.
· Americans are devoted to individualism and privacy.
· Americans believe everyone is equal, and therefore we are usually informal.
· Americans look ahead, not back, because the future is in our control. Change is good.
· Americans believe people are basically good and improvable.
· To Americans, time is money.
· Americans are direct and assertive.
· Americans admire action, achievement, and reward.
I am most certainly an American.
