American traditional culture

Respect for a self-made man-a man who often reaches the top by his own efforts-has become a feature of American traditional culture. When a leader occupies a higher social status and is respected than ordinary workers or factory workers among business, industry or university professors, he will proudly point out that his father lived in the United States as a farmer or some form of worker when he started his career.

This attitude towards manual labor is still reflected in many aspects of American life. A person is invited to a home that is not only comfortable, but also luxurious, and there is a lot of evidence to prove that this family can pay for its overseas travel, expensive hobbies and children's college education. However, the hostess may cook by herself and then wash the dishes; Besides, dinner will be more than just some quick and simple canned food and cakes or pies bought from a nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess often takes pride in the carefully prepared special dishes. A freelancer can say washing cars, planting flower beds and decorating houses. His wife may also help her with these things, just as he often helps her wash dishes. A son who is far away from college may wait at the dining table and then wash dishes for his life, or during the summer vacation, he may work in a construction group on the expressway to pay for his education.
