In the United States, there are many cultural practices that we can easily observe throughout other people. People who adapted themselves to believe in follow these cultural practices think that the best thing to do is to get them involved in these kinds of cultural practices.
One of the things that we can say that would be weird from people from other cultures to observe can be people's worryness about their weight. For example, nowadays, people care a lot about their weight, may be they are in a good condition but when they get to see themselves in a mirror they see more than what it really is.
This can become a seious problem because it can cause damage in people. Sometimes, girls who are pretty and have a nice body to show up, believe that they are getting fat and they start to eat less and less until the point that they become really thin, but they don't realize that.
Instead because they see that other people are thinner than them and can fit in a jean with a size 10, they just think in getting thinner and that is when they can get sick and also their prettiness can get lost.
However, if we go to other countries to explore their believes, religion, norms and other things that we would be able to appreciate, we would be able to see that what they do is also follow a pattern established by their country same as any other country would follow their traditions.
Here and may be in other countries becoming fat can be seen as a big deal a fact that a person is ugly is he or she is fat, but if we would be able to go to Africa then our point of view would be other if not the same as theirs. Because in Africa men appreciate fat women; they believe the fatter a woman is the prittiest she looks.
