define american culture to a visitor from mars?

Answer 1

It use to be cool......until hip hop and thuggery came around.

Answer 2

A concocted conglomeration of made up so called traditions that make little sense spiritually. Though there are some cultures that have moved here from other places on the Globe who keep there original culture and they are a bit more sane. But American culture is mostly nonsense. Basically work hard day and night so you can live in your box. Some have an expensive elaborate box and others a simple cell. And everyone drives these boxes on wheels around that half there paycheck is going towards. Then they eat chemically processed animal flesh from houses of slaughter that are cruel and horrific. Then they go to a place of worship which they have no Idea what the person who actually started the religion said and they give big money to the people speaking and they use that money to become wealthy themselves and cheat people. Women work so they can put there Children in a place where some stranger watches them. Almost everyone has been married more than one time and there children suffer and most people are on some kind of make me happy pills which don't work. That is America.

Answer 3

That's just as hard as defining American culture to anyone. I would say Hot Dogs and Hamburgers...maybe Macaroni and Cheese...taking land from the less fortunate....line dancing..but what's sad is that even the cowboy hat style was copied from the Caballeros

...I love asking this question to a white person because they never have an answer besides saying American Culture consists of everyone else's cultures....since America is one big melting pot.

Answer 4

Good question. Who would you want to describe American culture? The Bushies? Religionists? Politicians? The guy next door with the beer belly who's been out of work for 2 years because his job got shipped overseas? Rush Limbaugh? Sean Hannity? Ralph Nader?
Out of 250 million people, you'd get 250 million different descriptions.
I would tell them to travel around and observe, but to stay out of Washington, DC. That place is more like another planet than any of the other planets.

Answer 5

We are a self-loving prideful people whose daughters have very little shame, sons have little respect, where Gays have Rights, and where Mothers & Fathers have abandoned dicipline of their children in this generation. We are a country where Political Correctness has come to replace common sense, and our very foundation of constitutions freedoms are slowly eroding away.

Welcome to Earth, and Welcome to America....

And being you're from Mars, feel free to stay in America as long as you would like. Don't worry about paying taxes, and you don't even need health insurance. We'll provide you with the free health care. We'll go so far as to take care of your offspring, and don't even worry about learning our language...your native tongue will be accepted just fine. You can even re-write our National Anthem if it helps. And if anyone ever tries to make you go back to Mars, just stand up in protest and say you have the Right to here, and then you can stay forever after, or just as long as you like.

Answer 6

American culture? I don't know if there is such a thing; the USA is a country of diversity. You would have to get more specific than "American culture."

Answer 7

Fascism with a thin veneer of Democracy to keep the rubes happy.

Big Brother is Watching.

Answer 8

The culture of the suburban life.

Answer 9

Jayasri devi dasi

Answer 11

Rock and Roll, Baseball, and apple pie. Oh, and fireworks, hot dogs, and automobiles. If the alien could understand this, I would tell them more.
