American culture

I saw several pictures in the video. Actually, the first thing to catch my eyes is fast food commercial, such as Mac Donald, Coke and so on. And interesting thing is that everyone has different opinions from each other about American culture. Actually, in my opinion, it cannot represent American culture perfectly. Of course, I agree with some thoughts but I cannot agree with anther thoughts. Since sometimes America is called immigration country, there are so many cultures which come from other countries and then some specific American cultures are made from them. In this process, each state has special and characteristic culture compared to other states. For example, this Mississippi culture is totally different from New York. I have been to my roommate’s house at thanksgiving holiday. Actually, my roommate is African-American. So I could feel directly southern home culture. They are living together and have many sons and daughters. Moreover, before I came here, United State, I thought that Americans do not have their special and distinguished food. But, I could eat real southern homemade food at my roommate’s house. That was very shocking to me. But when I went to New York, everything was different, including atmosphere, food culture, clothing style, vehicles, and even people’s thought. I know some differences are caused by different place between rural and urban place. However, I think that nobody can disagree with the fact that each state has their specific cultures. So, it is a shame that this video shows only surface American culture.


I could see diverse thoughts about American weather in the video. I think the biggest reason is huge continent. The United State has lots of states and some states are almost the same size as some countries and even bigger than those. In addition, it might take too much time from west to east in America. Therefore, it is so natural that they have totally different weather at the same time. That’s why people who are in the movie have different thoughts.


I think that it is depends on personality and personal environment to like music. As I mentioned above, my roommate is African-American. He is crazy at Hip-hop music and another friend who lives at next room always listens to Heavy metal music even at night. So, sometimes that makes me so crazy.


In Korea, especially in Seoul, there is no place where I can run around like here. So, I usually just go to watch movies and drink alcohol with friends. However, at least here, Americans play more activities. I played so many activities, such as baseball, basketball, and even shooting a gun. I think these amounts of activities that I did at here are almost the same as I did of my whole life.


To tell the truth, when I was in Korea, I always regarded American as white people. So, I thought that Americans have blue eyes, blond hair, long legs, and so on. But my thoughts were totally changed after arriving at here. I knew that some Americans do not have such characteristics and some Americans have totally opposite things and the MOST important thing that I realized is that foreigners including Americans are exactly the same as me.
