It is the human created strategies for adjusting to their surroundings and to those creatures that are part of those surroundings. Ever since the beginning of time, culture has been used by every human species from different parts of the world to express who they are and what they value. Each and every country has their own type of social relativity whether it relates to the initiator, the observer, or the recipient of that behavior. As an American, I always recognize our countrys social values and cultural standards. In my opinion most of our cultural values such as dialect, music, arts, social habits, cuisine, and folklore have originally been used by Western European countries. Many are our cultural standards are Eurocentric. Today America is an ethnically and racially diverse country as a result of large-scale immigration from many different countries throughout its history. Our culture is always changing because of this.
To me, there are many things that make up real culture in America. I believe the most important thing about us is our desire for freedom. As Americans we have the power to do things many other countries cant do such as pick and choose our education, what we want to wear, what we want to eat, become, how we want to live our lives. Without our desire for freedom, we wouldnt be the most powerful nation in the world. Our democracy is the reason why people from other countries want join our society and be part of our culture. Generalizations and stereotypes have a big impact on the way we behave as Americans. Another example of what makes up American culture is the desire for land, money, and prosperity. Everybody in our culture has the right to pick and choose where we want to live as well as how to make money.

In a world in which all citizens of the world have more and more access to computers, mobile phones, and phones, American can-do leaders can be counted on to create an environment where citizens from over 40 countries can get a fair deal for their time and efforts, free or cheap. In just a few short years, this free trade deal between the United States of America and the other countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has grown into a more than 40 percent free trade deal with the United States and over 70 countries which is the largest bilateral trade of any major inter-governmental group in the world. The only differences are that in the ASEAN deal, US is free to buy more American natural gas even after it is sold into the U.S. with no restrictions to foreign ownership, which means they can import our gas and it is guaranteed to our friends around the world. This is a great deal for our economic, social and cultural development. The major problem for us, however, is that the country with the longest pipeline, the second longest pipeline in the world and one of the most expensive ever, China, has been at a standstill in building rail infrastructure, which is going into jeopardy, in a country where oil exports are down almost 100 percent and where there is no free trade agreement between the U.S., China and the rest of the world. By expanding the supply chain and ensuring that our resources are in demand, we’ve been able to build this infrastructure successfully in times of increased demand and production for energy that hasn’t been possible yet.
Also as you can see, as a group, we have to be very careful about how we deal with what our American counterpart is trying to do. If we decide to invest in the American dream or to build a different future, we either need to be very specific or completely specific about the issues that we work on and our country should try to solve with the support of some outside leaders. For example in the Middle East, the President of Libya, after saying he would support a military intervention in the region, said, “If not, they will fight us. We are at a crossroads of all this stuff. The U.S., which has been doing everything it can to deal directly with other countries to make them feel better about our country, is not doing anything.” If we take those ideas and turn them into some form of reality and create a better solution for the region, that might convince other countries to join and contribute to the creation of a new future that will be one that will be stronger for the United States, not being beholden to the interests of the Chinese, who would be the most likely participants. They wouldn’t give us a better deal with other countries. It isn’t a conflict between two different countries or two different peoples, it is just the basic fact that if our current energy policy makes our country more dependent on other countries for our energy needs, we probably won’t be doing very well in the areas of energy security for much longer. We won’t be so innovative as to build a new way out of a conflict,
