The diverse culture of the USA

My friends and I took a few second hand campervans around the States last summer, and I found out that I really liked it. After taking the mic out of it for years, I am actually basically American.

The USA is the largest economy in the world with the higest life standard rates. The American dream is all associated with the strong employability on the US market, the stable financial rates of income in every household and the peaceful and calm life people can enjoy. But all that this powerful and beautiful country has achieved is because of the many ethnic groups, the strong mutual understandings they share and their mutual acceptance and recognition as a nation, as a separate people.

When travelling around the US, a person can encounter so many different cultures that hardly is there someone who can remember all aspects of his travel and all the new things he has met while on the way.The reason is because the USA is composed by so many people with different traditions, religions and views that to include all that in an article would be impossible. Formed in the second half of the 18th century as a free and an independat country, the USA has become home for so many different ethnic groups -Africans, Europeans, the native tribes of North Americans, people from Asia and South America. This created the vast scope of social values and traditions that nowadays make the US such an attractive place to be.

Every state has its own alls, all subordinated to the Constitution -this creates the first major difference in the parts of the USA -the different legal rules that govern the social life of each state but all equal before the ultimate law of the Constitution which rules over the important issues of justice such as human rights, civil liberties and freedom. All other aspects of the US life can be observed aswell -the food of many cultures can be found, the believes of many ethnic groups can be observed, the rituals of hundreds of different peope can be recorded -all that makes the US the country with the most diverse cultural world the exporing of which is something every person on the globe would like to do.
