American Values and Assumptions

Summary: Informality
According to "American Values and Assumptions", American probably live informal ways. This phenomenon affects to American's live such as dressing, eating, and communication habits. For example, American like wearing jeans, sandals, or other informal cloth. Another example is, when we have a dinner at a restaurant, waiter/waitress will take care us in a casual. Still another, most American probably talk to each other by using informal words such as idiom and slang. As a result, they generally have behavior and relationship with each other in a informal way.

Personal response
In my opinion, it sounds good that American have a simple life. People have freedom to do whatever they want. But I think they also should do at the right place in the right time.
