American Culture - Stereotypes

LOUDLOUD

Old: The U.S. is a “melting pot” Today: The U.S. is a “salad bowl” American culture allows individuals to maintain their own culture. This makes the U.S. richer and more diverse!

Everyone is encouraged to have their own identity Independence is highly valued Being strong, self-reliant, assertive, and independent. “Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps” “If I work hard I can achieve anything”

 Direct - “to the point”  Looking someone in the eye in a conversation means you are interested, respectful.  Personal space  Informality – “Hey” “What’s up?” “How are you?”

 Americans take pride in making the best use of their time.  Being late = disrespect. It’s better to arrive early!  Americans apologize if they are late.  Professors and time.  In social settings there is more flexibility. It is okay to arrive “fashionably late” to a party.

 Friendly, informal interactions  Not always lead to close, lasting friendships  Get Involved! 250 clubs on campus Get Involved Fair on Sat. August 23rd

 Follow all U.S. laws and university rules You can’t say “I didn’t know”  Immigration regulations – student status  Legal drinking age is 21  If your car is stopped by police  Attorney on campus if you need legal advice.

 Holidays  Independence Day Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, Labor Day, Memorial Day  Sports  Football, baseball, basketball, RIT hockey!  Food  Pizza, Burgers/Garbage Plates, Fried/Fast Foods, Large Portions!
