Freedom is important to Americans. The USA is often called the free-est country in the world. But they have more people in prison than any other western country, and many people are killed by guns every year.
To go to church in the USA is a social event, and congregations help people in need. Friends meet in church.
The American Dream is to start with nothing, work hard and end in success. But most people live ordinary lives, and some people are poor. Racism is also a problem.
