Many newcomers to the United States find themselves strange to the American ways. It usually takes some time for them to get to know the social customs that are so different from ours.
1. Women of marked individuality
It is now becoming more and more common for a female in the U.S. to ask a male for a date or a dance.
2. The world of the young
More striking than the changing relationships between men and women is the profound gulf that often separates the old from the young. I have found America to be a very youth-oriented society, in sharp contrast to the importance we attach to age.
3. Attitude towards work
Work in general is something that is highly valued in American society. Since hard work is believed to help people get ahead, Americans often work long hours and do not take afternoon naps as we do.
4. Individualism
Overall, the most difficult obstacle will be in coping with American individualism and self-reliance. This is because Americans prefer to do things on their own. Even in group activities, there is always unstructured time left for individuals to do what they please.
5. Friendly people
In spite of the culture shock I have experienced, I have found Americans to be quite friendly, generous and helpful.
[A]In the big cities, especially, people tend to eat quickly and the offices and stores remain open during the lunch hour. While some rush out for a bite, others keep watch over the phones, hold meetings or attend to customers. If Americans seem abrupt and impatient at times, it is often because of the pressure of work and the value they put on getting things done.
[B]We, for example, were on a group trip to other cities, yet those traveling together did not always eat together, nor did they spend all of their sightseeing hours as a group.
[C]My nephew was recently involved in a case of this kind. He was waiting upon an American young lady in a Chinese restaurant and was astonished when she remarked that he was an attractive man. When she paid her bill, she left a note for him: "If you’re not married, I’d like to see you again. Here’s my address and phone number!" Later he did call and explained that he had little money and could not pick her up because he did not have a car. She didn’ t seem worried: she offered to come to pick him up in her car!
[D]I believe that you too, despite some possible unexpected difficulties, will have such positive experiences. With time and patience you will gradually come to understand a society different from ours.
[E]For example, we care for the old and infirm in the home, but old people here usually live in separate places either because they do not wish to be a burden to their children or because they prefer to maintain their individual lifestyles. When they cannot take care of themselves, they are often placed in special nursing homes for the aged.
[F]I was particularly grateful for the assistance I received when I did a work / study project last summer at Newsday, the major newspaper in the area. Since there was no direct transportation between my home and the newspaper office, a fellow worker drove me back and forth to work. On days when she was unable to do this, she saw to it that someone else provided transportation. All told, seven people were involved in driving me on different occasions.
