Слайд 3

American people are a mixture of African Americans, Native Americans, Latino

Americans, Asian Americans and White European Americans
There are 125 ethnic groups and 1,200 religious groups ( Samovar, and Porter, 1995, p.84)

Слайд 4

Individualism
The American (while growing up) is surrounded, maybe even bombarded, by

the propaganda of self-fulfillment and self-identity. Self-improvement and self-help – doing my own thing - seem at the core of American ideology.

Слайд 5

Individualism
Do your own thing
I did it my way
You’ll have to decide

that for yourself
You made your bed, now lie in it
If you don’t look out for yourself, no one else will
Look out for number one.

Слайд 6

Equality
Declaration of Independence states that “all men are created equal”.
“One man,

one vote”.
Just call me by my first name.

Слайд 7

The Future, Change & Progress
History doesn’t matter.
It’s the future that counts.
The

long-time slogans capture American’s assumptions about the future:
“ Progress is our most important product”, “ Better things for better living through chemistry”.

Слайд 8

Achievement, Action ,Work & Materialism
“He’s a hard worker” or “ She

gets the job done” convey the typical American’s admiration for a person, for ACHIEVERS.
Americans love ACTION. They get restless and impatient.
For most Americans, materialism is, and historically has been, an integral part of life.
“In the American metaphysic, reality is always material reality”. L.Thrilling

Слайд 9

Directness & Assertiveness
The word “assertive” is the adjective Americans commonly use

to describe the person who plainly and directly expresses feelings and requests.
Americans will speak openly and directly in a manner they call “constructive”.

Слайд 10

Challenging Authority
Authority is not challenged, either out of respect or out

of fear.
The American is trained from childhood to question, analyze and search. “Go look it up for yourself”, a child will be told.
A person’s ideas are being analyzed, not the person.
