According to my family specifically, there are some unique traits that make America such an amazing place to live and raise a family. There’s this big idea of families spending time together and eating dinner together- a larger example of this would be Thanksgiving. While enjoying each other’s company, it’s common to watch some kind of sporting event together, often America football as that is indeed the national sport. Personally, strong work ethic was something taught to me and my siblings while growing up. I always felt pushed onto a higher pedestal, as good grades were simply, just expected. Gender equality is a topic that is constantly being redefined and stereotyped by Pop culture, although my immediate family somewhat goes against the gender norms. Two of my aunts are the breadwinners of their family, clearly going against any previous stereotypes. Before my mom had to quit to stay at home with all the kids, she was actually making more money than my dad. People are able to rally behind each other after horrific attacks, such as 9/11, displaying a perfect attitude of patriotism. Lastly, my parents really like the open-mindedness of many in this country, in regard to immigration or personal orientations. America is a great place, and my family and I agree that there’s no where else we’d rather be.
