In Socialogy class this week we talked about America and its culture. To other countries things like 24/7 stores is a crazy idea that is illegal in some countries, yet we take it for granted and expect this as a norm. The local seven eleven is home to daily users who come to shop at the most odd of times including late nights, early mornings and sundays which in a country like Germany would get you a hefty fine and possible jail time. Another norm of America is running in the morning. Really? Running? Seems pretty normal but, to a newcomer this is a bad trend that never came around to their country. Most of every other country prefers to play a team sport that involves running but not so much a solo sport that has no interaction or point. Interesting enough is that although America is a country that is hooked on running it continues to be the heaviest country in the world.
