When we talk about in a foreign country we can imagine a tall (or maybe not that tall), white and blond person that has blue eyes or even a black person with curly black or brown hair and brown eyes. But the reality in America is that in this country exist a lot of ethnics groups such as Asian-American so, we must not describe them physically because that is a big mistake.
When we talk about American’s lives we can see a lot of similarities in what they want, in how they reach happyness. So that is the specific point that I picked for stereotype the Americans.
Americans, base their happiness in material things like having a better car, a big flat screen and a house with a swimming pool. They have misunderstood what their independence declaration says about happyness, that happiness is communitarian happyness, but they thought it as individual. But, why Americans are pursuing materials things?
Before the World War II finished, the Americans pursue of happyness was based on the family, because they lived on rural areas where all the members of the family had to work together to feed their families and themselves so, they could not be selfish with the others and the best happiness was to have your family next to you, or maybe eat a pie with them.
But at this time is very different what is happening, now they does not have to work together for feed themselves, today is an era of abundance in which the person who has more money has more chances to reach the American meaning of happyness.
