We have considered the American way of life in sufficient detail and we can conclude that it is not for nothing that America and the way of life there are of interest to many.
In America, as in any advanced society, there is a complex system of cultural symbols, conventions, and rules that pervade the entire society.
America is a part of human existence, which includes a huge variety of interests, entertainment, good and evil, humor, absurdity and everything else inherent in man.
In general, two almost indisputable generalizations can be made. First, the main directions of the current lifestyle are determined, apparently, by the Americans. Second, what is considered purely American today is unlikely to remain so for long. Therefore, those traditions and attitudes, habits and customs, which are constantly observed in America, are of the greatest interest.
In the course of our study, various features of American society inherent in their national mentality, as well as the pros and cons of the American way of life, were identified.
