american culture? it is a combination of a pop culture and individualistic ethic and a multitude of other cultures.

some european culture is learned not from the families but from the culture at large

even the language is often an amalgamation of words from other languages

compared to the east coast, the city where i grew up looks like germany. the architecture is completely different. sure, a city looks like a city, but there is definitely a lot of european culture that has been carried forward.
