TheAmericanNationalCharacter
1. The United Sates is a society of immigrants. It is probably the most multicultural and
multinational country in the world. In the 19th century it was called a «melting pot», however,
nowadays such terms as a «salad bowl» or a «pizza» characterize it much better. It means that all
ingredients (nations, ethnic groups, peoples) are mixed and separated at a time. It is evident, that in
this case the problem of the national American character seems to be rather complicated.
2. Nevertheless, it is essential to try to determine certain features of this mysterious
character in order to understand the American world better and through this understanding evaluate
native culture. The problem of national character is quite interesting and disputable itself. Many
schools of thoughts still claim that it does not exist. Though plenty of different sources —
international jokes, national classical literature, folklore and national language itself — prove the
opposite. For example, if to consider international jokes, which place members of different societies
into a range of the same situations and describe certain features to a particular representative, the
Americans are usually shown as greedy, practical, not really intelligent individuals, very proud of
their being the Americans.
3. These are for sure stereotypical features and they should be taken into account very
carefully. Still, national language seems to be even expositorier in this case. For example, if to
compare the Russian and the American (or American English) languages, the latter is evidently
more informal, because of the pronoun «you», which is used in reference both to familiar and
unknown people. Then, it interesting that «I» is always capital in the American language and that is
37
a symbol of individualism. It is possible to continue this list endlessly, because language actually
forms the national character. However, it is possible to try to identify American values and ideals.
4. If to consider the American worldview, one of the major values seems to be freedom. The
Americans consider their society to be the freest and the best in the world. They regard it as a haven
for those who long for opportunities and freedom. They proudly state that even nowadays there are
thousands of immigrants, who dream of entering their country, expecting to have a chance to start a
new, better life. This value has developed historically through wars and struggle, revolutions and
slaughter. It is the first right, mentioned in the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and the most
precious one.
5. However, no doubt, that absolute freedom is impossible and it remains merely an
unapproachable ideal. In reality some social groups and individuals are not as free as others. Based
on religious, sex, national or age differences, discrimination still exists. That means that the value of
freedom is for sure one of the most significant components of the American national character,
however, it is rather subjective and stereotypic in reality.
44. Absolute freedomis an unapproachable ideal.
45. The American language is more informal than Russian.
46.The United Sates is not the most multicultural and multinational country in the world.
