Interesting American culture and customs

China is a country deeply influenced by American culture, especially the younger generation. Influenced by American NBA, American TV series and Hollywood movies, many people like American lifestyle and yearn for America. In fact, America is a society with a high degree of racial integration. Let's learn about those interesting American customs and cultures.

The West Coast culture of the United States, represented by Silicon Valley, is dominated by technology and entrepreneurship, while the East Coast culture of the United States, represented by new york, is dominated by fashion, art/entertainment and media. People on the west coast are keen to talk about physical stunts such as sports, health and outdoor sports, while people on the east coast prefer indoor sports and love beauty.

In addition, there is an "8/6 phenomenon" (8/6 phenomenon), that is, women who can be rated as 8 points in the Silicon Valley Bay Area can only get 6 points at most in new york, because there are more men in the Bay Area, while there are more women than men in new york.

People from Hawaii generally have more tattoos than most people living in the continental United States. There are three main reasons for this phenomenon:

1) Religious conservatism has little influence on the Hawaiian Islands, and the folk customs are relatively free and open.

2) Due to the high immigration rate of Hawaii Island, the integration of Polynesian culture, East Asian culture and western tradition provides a more diversified pattern selection and development direction for tattoo culture in Hawaii.

3) The existence of the army has also promoted the prosperity of tattoo culture in Hawaii.

Generally speaking, the more open folk customs are, the higher the proportion of ethnic minorities (such as California and Oregon on the west coast and Florida, Texas and Nevada in the south), and the more popular tattoo culture is.

Although it is customary to default that the official language of the United States is English, in fact, federal law does not clearly stipulate the official language of the United States; Only 28 states have legislated that English is the de facto official language at the state legal level. In addition, in New Mexico and Puerto Rico, Spanish also has the status of official language (because New Mexico is adjacent to the US-Mexico border and there are a large number of Mexican immigrants).
