following ones dreams and living life through ones personal lense is a common trope deeply valued in american culture. in other culture, one typically puts external things like family and community first, but pretty much every american drama has the line "this isn't my dream, it's yours" whenever community and external factors compromise ones own internal drive.

"Everybody lies." House doesn't care about context, he cares about facts. Beyond that, the things his patients tell him are more than likely going to be lies.

Men while shopping want the facts, no fluff. No perks. No emotional appeal, as the only emotion they feel is the dent in their wallet. I've seen it many times where they don't care about when and where she will use the handbag or the wallet: they care about the price and whether or not we are confident they will like it

# data[].attributes.body
When I sell a handbag to a woman, I can't sell if I don't make it obvious with many many examples why she absolutely NEEDS that bag. They don't necessarily have to be practical, but it helps to give her hypothetical situations where she'll be glad she made the purpose. They don't care about the materials, the warranty, or even the price.

In hispanic news sources there's a LOT of background information before you get the actual news. In American news programs, the events are listened off rapid fire, almost like bullet points

Preparing dinner in hispanic households is a group effort. If it's for the extended family, you can find all of my aunts in the kitchen doing SOMETHING. No one is lying around, all the jewelry comes off as people prepare a meal with their bare hands. Even when it's dinner for four, I'll find myself in the kitchen helping my mother and later serving the men of the household. We run like well-oiled machines.

It's incredibly easy to see someone out of their place while watching a band march. This is an obvious example of collectivism or a group effort in other words. Marching is a brutal environment, and if you can't cut it you're not suited to take the stage (or, the field). While hard work individually is rewarded, at the end of the day it takes the entire band to perform a piece.

Easily the act to remember these past olympics in Rio was Simone Biles. A classic example of individualism, despite having members of her own country competing against her, Biles sought to be the very best athlete out of everyone. We praise her hard work and talent because it is something she has individually pursued and mastered and we value that in out society.

Growing up I remember a running theme in Dr. Seuss stories was being different and being so unapologetically. Bullying was common growing up, as I assume it continues to be common, and my elementary school teachers did their best to drill into our malleable minds that being the same as everyone else was boring that you should be who you are. In other cultures, standing out may be seen as a bad thing. In the US, you better hope you stand out for the right reasons otherwise you might draw the wrong attention.

Standing concerts can be very rowdy and violent, or very calm and mellow, depending on the artist and where you find yourself standing. Getting there first means standing in line for hours and then having the privilege to be at the barricade. That means if anyone tries to shove in front of you they did not earn it and it's completely appropriate to shove them back, perhaps even harder than they did. Then, being VIP means you get to be the first that enters the venue and theres a certain air of superiority and smugness with being in the artist space as opposed to in the back by the bar.

Literally this is a California roll, but another meaning for that phrase is when you come up to a stop sign and don't see anyone else so you slow down and then drive through it without coming to a full stop. Otherwise known as "No cop? No stop." In the United States, particularly amongst the younger population, if there is no one to hold you accountable at a stop sign and no real sense of danger, there is no reason to stop and hold for three seconds. However, if there is heavy traffic, the law is upheld. It's case by case.

While this country was founded on immigrants, entering the United States without legal permission is considered a felony. Many individuals disregard the circumstances of the immigrants home life in favor of condemning them for breaking the law, an attitude that is in itself deemed un-American since the law of the land is esteemed so highly.

In the United States, marijuana is considered an illegal substance. Despite the wide usage of it and a common perspective that its use doesn't directly have negative ramifications, many citizens remain wary about the substance and the law criminalizes those who use it. In fact, most non-violent offenders are incarcerated due to marijuana possession.

My name is Gisela (he-sel-ah) and I've lived in (and north of) Austin my whole life, specifically in a suburban town called Pflugerville. I have a dog and cat, no siblings, but a large extended family. On my mother's side I'm Mexican and on my dad's side I'm Puerto Rican. I'm studying math because I learned how to add and subtract before I even learned to speak English so it has always been a safety net for me. I like to listen to music and go to the dog park, and you can fine me attending concerts whenever possible. I commute to school every day but I despise driving so just know I sat through 45 minutes of traffic to see everyone's lovely face today :)
