Commandments (戒律) of American Culture

A This passage focuses on ten very common sayings that will help you understand American culture. Of course these ten sayings, which I have called the \Commandments of American Culture,\not really \They have no religious or moral authority like the \Commandments\of the Bible do for Jews and Christians. However, if you break any of these \commandments,\most Americans will think you do not fit very well in America.

B Success is probably the most praised thing in American life. It relates to many other characteristics of American life like individualism, freedom and optimism. Americans want to \a success of themselves.\This is the \Dream\which has attracted millions of immigrants and been taught to generations of American children. Everyone wants to be a success at something. If you do not think that way, you may be considered a failure. It is almost impossible to criticize success. For example, if an employee does something without properly consulting his superior, and as a result the company gets a big contract with a new customer, the employee will get more praise than blame. The success of getting the new contract is more important than the failure to consult a superior.

Eating is fun, and in case it is not enough fun, we will put a playground inside the fast food restaurant so the kids can have fun playing while the grown-ups have fun sitting and eating. People try to get a job which is fun (though not many succeed). In most situations Americans are very time-conscious. However, we forget to watch the clock when we are having fun. That is why \flies,\

E Many Americans shop as a form of recreation. Even if we are not shopping for anything in particular, we simply enjoy looking at all the options. We love the whole process of choosing

what to buy and where to buy it. It is a major topic of social conversation. If you want to impress an American friend, convince him or her that you are a \

F We are people of action. We do not like too much planning which seems a waste of time. We do not like rules and regulations that prevent action. We strongly dislike authority structures where people are expected to inform several other people before they do anything. We get an idea and we want to just do it. Action is seen as the key to success. Action is more valuable than planning, checking regulations, or informing people. …… 此处隐藏：1962字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
