What foreign cultures are surprising?

When we understand the culture and customs of our own country, we should also understand the culture and customs of foreign countries. When you travel abroad in the future, you must be prepared in advance. So, let's talk about some American cultural customs today!

The United States is known as the "national melting pot". Residents of different nationalities and beliefs maintain their own traditions and live in a typical American way, which makes the American cultural landscape present rich and colorful characteristics. Most Americans are cheerful, approachable, talkative and not good at hiding their views. I often see several Americans chatting together in Kan Kan. In fact, many of them are new acquaintances.

American family culture. American families are called "nuclear families", including husbands, wives and children. Many families practice democratic political governance, everyone in the family has the right to speak, and the concept of fairness widely exists in American families; In addition to awe, children also regard their parents as good friends, and husband and wife often share housework; Children in many families have the right to privacy in their own bedrooms; Children have the responsibility of financial management since childhood and can go out to work; Parents often give their children the freedom to make their own decisions. Preschool children can choose what clothes to wear or what toys to buy, while young people can freely choose their careers and marriage partners. This hardly exists in China.

American marriage culture. They attach importance to the marriage contract: before marriage, both men and women go to the law firm to sign a "marriage contract", the main contents of which are the ownership of money after marriage, the sharing of housework and the preconditions for divorce. They also emphasize the freedom of divorce and regard divorce as a happy event. The divorce rate in the whole society is very high.

Americans are also keen on festivals, especially major festivals: New Year's Day, President's Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and Election Day. ......
