As each culture and each country in the world, North America has its own traditions and costumes made up for language, music, food, religion, holidays and more and more else.When we talk about North America usually we mean United States; the third largest country in the word and one of the most culturally diverse countries in the words.This is because, a lot of different cultures, included Native Americans, and Native Africans and Asian, have influenced it.Today a very large number of immigrant’s groups, live together, sometimes more integrate than the others.

Starting with a language we can say that there is no official language in the US even if, almost 90% speak English but, there are more than other 300 non-English languages spoken included Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic and a lot more.

Another thing that usually impresses people about North America culture is the food. Even in this case, it is difficult to talk about something exclusive to the US because they were influenced by Europeans and Native Americans too. But, it is also true that we can find different styles of cooking and food in each region: for example, in Southern style one, we can find fried chicken, corn bread, collard greens etc.

In Texas and Southwest instead, we can find the most well-known Tex-Mex that join together the cooking style of Texas and Mexico with their chili, burritos, cheese, and beans.

And what we can say about religion?

Only that almost all the religions existing in the word are practiced in North America.This “opening styles” and mixture we can see even in the dress code: usually informal and comfortable; so we can find often jeans, sneakers, baseball caps but even cowboy hats and boots.This informal lifestyle we can find in a lot of different situation of North American daily life.

For example, American socialize and do business eating but, in a different way from Arabic and English people because, here, the business it the main part and the socialization is only a few minutes at the start and the end of the meeting.Often a formal meal can start with a toast and a lot of foods are eaten by hand, using large serving dishes what is passed around the table so everyone can serve themselves.

But even in North America, you can find some formal things: 

• Do not rest your elbows on the table

• Do not begin eating until the hostess says to do it; 

• Bring a little gift if someone invites you to his/her home.

• Do not spit

• Do not discuss race, religion, politics or sex.
