I believe that being an American is a representation of freedoms and a melting pot of all different types of individuals. I feel that in America most citizens can become successful. From being an artist to a pencil pusher in a cubical, Americans strive to accomplish their ambitions and don't get bogged down by the thought of failure. Of course there are a few who end up bummin' on the streets but that's beside the point. Americans focus on being their own individuals which is what makes America so great. There are no generic rules that makes everyone similar.
Americans strive to become successful and in most minds that is to acquire a whole lot of money. I think that is where most stereotypes start and the main reason why most of the world doesn't like the US. We're viewed as greedy and not thankful. Frankly these are all true. America is full of greed, hate and disrespect.
Although most of America is rude, it is also full of toleration. People practice whatever religion they feel and don't have to worry about others judging their opinions.
I think that is great to be an American because you have so many different freedoms of choice. People can take up any kind of profession they please. There are so many different types of people and influences that it is not hard to have your future distinctly molded how you please.
