Especially the shopping mall in my country, I always see the American brand names and fast foods which I LOVE in every corner, this makes me used to with American lifestyle. Whereas, some big grocery stores in Thailand were taken over by an American company. Surprisingly, Thailand is just a small developing country in Asia.

Therefore, the author is right about reversing brain drain phenomenon because . . .

In America and other countries of similar and contrasting cultures, we like to be right, we like to be on top, and we want to be recognized for both respectively. Competition is an underlying theme in so much of what we do in our daily lives. Whether it’s getting a better grade on a test than your friend, winning a football game or even speeding up faster than the car next to you when the light turns green. Competition, whether we like it or not, surrounds us and we participate in it willingly. We all want to stand on that podium and receive the gold medal, for then we are better than someone else and we can look down upon him or her because we have achieved something they have not. This competition and trying to be better than the person
Because my neighbor is considered suburban it often gets a bad rep. A lot of people think that suburbs are boring and aren't interesting. As this suggests, the problem is also cultural. For the most part, American culture and opinion are still created, even in the Internet age, in cities at either edge of the continent. If intellectuals do deign to look at the suburbs they assume that so much banality must be hiding something deeply

The West believed in the idea of capitalism and democracy as the proper way to run societies, while Russia believed a communist regime was the premier ideology. Both sides believed they were right, with the other side being inauthentic in nature. Moreover, in the West we think of anti-capitalist movements are inauthentic and against our cultural norms. Individuals opposed to our cultural norms and rising counter-cultures movements paint an inauthentic or falsified sense of meaning and individual purpose. Essentially, we claim going against our societal norms is wrong and “selling out” against our society. These people are the outliers of normalized society. Tying this into beer consumption, particularly in Western contexts purchasing foreign
There were many commonalities that I saw throughout my interviews. All of us had similar views on the definition of health, illness, and suffering. I think that these are very universal words and feelings, so it is easier for us to agree on those definitions. Another similarity between the three of us was the high respect for nurses and doctors. Nurses are the nicest and most caring people that you will meet and doctors are intelligent and gentle. We may not all have traditional healers, but we all respect the people who care for your health and well being. The reason that someone might disagree with traditional healing is because they are not familiar with it. Personally I respect the traditional healers, but that does not mean everyone would.

Those four have been identified by their acronym REND-G: (1) Religion, (2) Ethnicity/Nationalism, (3) Development, and (4) Geography.

As an American we must learn to understand jokes and sarcasticism. It is a system of social sharing, learned the values and norms; this is the design of the society to live. It affects the way we view the fl at, habits, preferences and our way we relate to other people. Value is a summary of the ideas that are on the good things, right and desirable. The target is the social rules and guidelines.
Cultural Differences in the United States of America Affect Class Gaps All countries have a society with classes of some sort. Dividing people into classes can be made using different approaches. One method is to look at different cultures among people and another is to look at income inequalities in a country. The word culture means: how a group of people behave or think. This means that people who think or behave alike are more likely to have similar cultural beliefs.
