Being an American can mean a lot of different things but I think it mainly means that you have the right to speak your mind and have the freedom of religion along with all the rights in the constitution. America is also a very patriotic country so being American can also mean being patriotic.

America can mean an infinite # of things. To me, I think it means freedom, and choice. I think of the many problems that plague America. And I think of the ability to stand up for the disenfranchised in ways that are impossible to do in other countries. I think of capitalism, and excess everything, and I think of how history shaped The way people interact with the world around them and how it shapes the choices that Americans  make.

I think this is not the definition lol

To me being American is being able to speak our mind and have the freedom to believe what we think is right without any consequences.

To me it is partly geographical because I also view Central and South America as part of "America",  but I also view it as being an American (United States) citizen and our history and culture being tied into the history and culture of all of the Americas.
Multiculturalism is an important aspect of being an American.
Edit: I think that traditions, rituals, knowledge and stories are a huge part of being an American. These stories and traditions blend many different ideas from many different people who all make up what it is to be American.

Living with the ideals that all of us are created equal, and we all have the freedom and right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Yes, I took that from the Constitution, but it's important to remember what the purpose of America was when it was founded. We haven't reached it yet, but we live in a country where you are allowed to point out the flaws of our government and social system.
