United The States is very different from any other country of this planet in more ways than anyone could ever even begin to imagine. While many of these differences are good, there is also an array of disadvantages to living in the United States versus living in another country. Almost all of the advantages and disadvantages depend on personal preference, but some differences still remain the same no matter who you are. One of the greatest differences lies in popular culture. What is accepted by the majority in this country is much different than one may find in another location. Personal appearance is one aspect of the American culture which strangely and disturbingly categorized amongst the population. In the United States female population, beauty is classified as an unnaturally thin individual, typically with blonde hair, a large chest, and generally caked with make-up as well. Beauty in the male population can be easily described as the alpha-male type. Popular entertainment revolves around this depiction, and dont be surprised to see disturbing images all around you which may intensify this effect. Another great difference in cultures lies in sports, and physical activity within the nation. The most popular sports in the United States may include football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. While soccer may be the most popular sport in many other countries, it doesnt seem to hold itself high on the popularity scale in this country. Generally, sports involving males and males only are the participants in the popular sports of United the States. Female athletes, while equally, and sometimes all the more talented, are not as widely recognized by the public as male athletes. One more difference lies in the United States technology and availability of certain technological devices. Living in America is nearly impossible without a cellular device, true, it can be done, but it is definitely not advisable. Along with mobile devices, the internet is the greatest communication, research, and entertainment devices in American culture. Many popular
networking websites are the sole link between individuals in the United States and the outside world. Any information needed by an individual can be found on the internet , and even information which is unnecessary for anyone is displayed publicly on the internet. An individual living without either of these amenities, which can now be considered as necessities, will find themselves having an overly difficult time of staying up to date in this culture. Personally, I would say that aside from standards set by American television, I cant find any disappointing pieces of our culture. A number of unmentioned differences may arise with an extended stay in the United States, but with this information, I would hope the readers would find themselves properly enlightened on our nationsculture. The advantages and disadvantages of this country will be different depending on your personality, character, and many other personal aspects, but I would hope that life in the United States is as satisfying to a visitor as it is to me.
