Misunderstandings of a Foreigner in American Culture

When I first moved here, I still feel shocked. I think how the superficial culture of this country is. Especially in conversation, the way people treat each other. First they asked you: 'How are you?' But be careful. They really do not want to know what is going on, they avoid you for weeks if you mistakenly give them a detailed explanation of your happiness. On the other hand, you need to accept the standards of all new friends "I'm happy to meet you" soon. Perhaps you may not even have a feeling of meeting someone at this special moment.

For me, her problem suggests a misunderstanding about nuances inherent in American culture. The United States and many other so-called "New World" countries are proud of their cross-cultures. Because expatriates are an integral part of their identity. Americans in Nigeria, China, Italy and Mexico have the same passport as most other Americans and may have the same interest, but they are also influenced by their origin and cultural growth . As a family influenced by the Caribbean who grew up in the United States, much of my values, interests, and ideas are Jamaican views. Because my parents' influence is transmitted to me and my brothers, I may not be able to contact my American compatriots. On the other hand, I have not been raised there so sometimes I can not talk to Jamaican people, and I do not fully understand their cultural differences.
