The culture I'd like to live in

The culture I’d like to live in is American culture. I don’t know precisely why, but I believe it’s because of the way American people express themselves. Even the way people talk to each other is different.  People are open and loud but I think it’s just a part of culture. In Finland there is this great silence almost everywhere you go, so I love that Americans make a fuss of everything. It feels like people care each other more there than they do here.

The culture in America is so different than in Europe. Everything is big and grand and no-one is ashamed of it, people are proud of themselves and their own way of living and doing things. The cities are huge and the apartments rise to the sky like mountains while people walk down the street like ants. I think that everyone there is a hero of own life. Everyone is a part of the great American dream, which makes everyone special and unique, which is crucial to everyone. Americans love their country and it shows; they sing their national anthem a lot more often than for instance Finnish people do. They also have some holidays we don’t have, like Thanksgiving, which make families and also the nation come together.

People in the USA are more impulsive and it is really inspiring. America has always been a place to make your dreams come true and a song also says that: if you can make it there you can make it anywhere. That is the point of being American; a need to show others that you will survive. The most important thing is to go for your dreams and simply try; it doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed because you have your family and friends to take care of you.
