Does the U.S. Have A Single Culture? 
 
 
 No. The U.S. does not have a single culture because the U.S. is mostly immigrants from all over the world who settled here and made a living and a family. America culture is a melting pot of other cultures. Our culture is based on the rights of humans and how to express themselves. The values which most americans hold are hard work and becoming rich and successful. When it comes to material items that are important to american’s there’s not one specific status symbol. When we look around us we see many different types of people and lifestyles. People say that America is a refuge, a home and a sanctuary to different nationalities around the world. The Statue of Liberty has a motto, “Give me your tired and your poor”, which shows that Americans have freedom in all that they do.

American Culture 
 
 
 
There is more then one culture in America. Our culture is a mix of every culture in the world. People express their culture by food, dress, and ceremonies. Many people in America have different religions. If you go to Italy you would eat Italian food, if you go to china you would be eating Chinese food, but in America you eat all different types of food that you would find all over the world. America even has their own holidays such as: 4th of July, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. Our country is very special because we have the right to express ourselves because we have

 <h1>My Culture</h1>
 <h4>My culture consists of many things, because my family has different aspects to it. We are Christian, but specifically we're Lutherans. In my house me and my family speak one language, English. At school me and my brother are both taught Spanish but we don't speak it at home. On my mom's side of the family we are Irish and West Indies, but on my dad's side we are Italian and Irish. My dad is the real Italian of the family because he cooks the most dishes regularly and he actually is the most Italian. My mom cooks all of the desserts and breads. As a Lutheran we go to church every Sunday and we celebrate holidays such as Good Friday, Easter and Christmas. Some other holidays that we celebrate are St. Patricks Day, The Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day and Birthdays. A few traditions that we have are on Christmas Day, Thanksgiving and St. Patricks Day we have a traditional meal with the entire family.</h4>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
American Cultures 
 
We have so many cultures in the Uniteed States. It is really amazing to see how many there really are. All of the cultures that we have here in the U.S. contribute to the different things that we do here. All cultures are different in U.S. and that is what makes the culture we have as americans so great. We all celebrate different holidays. Americans usually celebrate Christmas, Easter, Independence day, Thanksgiving, and so many more. Other cultures may celebrate their own holidays. The different culures in the U.S. share their ideas of music, food, dressing, holidays, and other things. Our country has so many different cultures that we are called &quot;The melting pot.&quot; I interpret this expression that we have so many cultures that we all melt together and bcome one big culture of Americans. Our country stands for freedeom, equal rights, and justice.
