> If anyone reads this message what do you think defines American culture and sets it apart from other cultures in the Western world and beyond and the remark the person at the book club I went to meant.
Hi Susan,I guess there is the good stuff and the bad stuff. The good stuff I think is the individualism and diversity here (doing your own thing, taking responsibility for your own destiny, etc.) The bad stuff that makes us unique (in my mind anyhow) is the SAMENESS everywhere you go here. There just doesn't seem to be much regional differences anymore due to commercialism, TV, etc.
