American Culture

             First of all I would like to say couple words about the country itself. It is located on the North American continent and has Canada and Mexico as her neighbors. The population is around 300 million people and the capital city is Washington D.C. On the flag there are fifty stars which represent the fifty states. Each state has two senate members. The most populated state is California with 30 million people. The money they use is called the American Dollar and it usually has faces of previous Presidents on the front side of the paper bill. At this moment the President of the United States is George W. Bush. The American people had an affair with one of their presidents not long ago but it looks like everything is fine now. September 11, 2001 was the worst day for the people from the United States. At that day two planes crashed in the World Trade Centers killing over 5,000 people. This terrorist attack was organized by Osama Bin Laden, one of the most wanted people for criminal acts all over the world. Recently, the American people had a war with Iraq, which seems successful because they removed Saddam Hussein from his presidential position. Knowing this backdrop of United States trivia helped me understand the country a little more clearly. .
             Family life in the United States is a really interesting topic to talk about. What I have learned so far is that most families have a mixed religious point of view, at least one child, live a nice, successful, and peaceful life, drive at least two cars, live in a nice house or apartment, and has at least one pet. I think that mixed families from a religious point of view is a common thing not just for the people from the United States but from the all over the world. Some families in my country are mixed and there are not any conflicts at all. .
             What I found very interesting is that almost every family has at least one child. The reason why I found this interesting is because I am coming from the country that almost every family has at least two children with some families having over five children.
