From the research that I’ve done, the culture of American people is a western culture, which influenced by European culture. It has been created long time ago since the United State is not a country, for example, language or dialect, music, art, cuisine and so on (Mercer, n.d.). People around the world would strongly agree that individual freedom or the individualism would be the first obvious cultural value of American. American would create their own goals in life and they would not depend too much on other, such as friends, teachers, and parents (Maynard, 2010). The second American cultural value is the privacy (Thomas E, n.d.). American likes to stay and spend time alone without the disturbance (Beane. n.d.). The third one of the American cultural values is the equality (Cultural Values, n.d.). American people believe and respect the equality and the right of people. For example, women equal to men in many ways, such as jobs, right to protest, and so on. The fourth one of the American cultural values is “Time”. American people make the best use of their time, which considered as “every second is valuable”. They think that in a business world, time is money (Beane. n.d.). Being on time for an appointment, class or dinner with your friends is very important to American people. Moreover, American people would apologize if they are late for the appointment, even three minutes late (Beane. n.d.). The fifth American cultural value is the informality (Zafar, n.d.). The American life style or way to dress is originally casual. You can generally see American student wear short and t-shirt to school, or even the teachers, they would wear blue jean and comfortable shoes to their work (Beane. n.d.). The last one of the American cultural values is direct and assertive (American Values, 2011). American people mostly want to solve problems by face-to-face. They like to speak up and give opinion to other, for example, in classroom, in meeting, in public places, and so on. This direct manner maybe makes other feel that American people is rude, because they would say something that directly means to the meaning (Beane. n.d.). For example, when they do not like something, they would say “I do not like it” instead of saying “It is ok, but I think there’s something better”.
