The American Way of LIfe

Living in the United States, Americans live in their own aspect life. Not many people noticed what they are developing toward their lives. People have their own way of surviving and most likely some people don’t appreciate the American way of life. During this class discussion of the idea of the American way of life, there were many topics such as class, race, gender and many other topics. As I was interviewing people about their own personal thoughts on the American way of life, I notice that there were many patterns. Interviewing some strangers and neighbors around my block, many brought up the issues of making money, looking for business and receiving freedoms.
The first person I interview was around my school and she is a black single mother, who is taking care of 3 children and her disabled brother. By the way she dresses I think she is around the poor class. Her opinion about the American way of life is wondering why life is so hard to survive. “I am just a single mother and I just pick my kids up from school. Their father left them and I don’t think I can manage to watch my kids.” “I just want to know when I can get a break.” Basically, this single mother thinks that the American way of life is unsatisfied. It is overwhelming and distracting. Overall it is causing too much trouble for her to do many things at a time.
The second person I interview is a black male, who is around the middle group. He was carrying a big suitcase and was eating a hotdog on his way to work. His opinion base on the American way of life is that making money is too difficult. “I just got off the train and on my way to my second job. Everyday of my life I wake up around 6am to take my kid to school and get to my office at 8am. Work my ass off for money till 3pm and run to my second job.” This person is working hard for money and I probably think that his wife is just being a lazy bitch.
The third person I interview is a Hispanic female, who is around the rich group. She was carrying 5 big bags and walking with her friends. Her opinion base on the American way of life is having a lovely family. “I just want to say thank you to my husband for making a lot of money. My kids are already heading to college and I just went shopping with my friends.” This person is lucky to have such a wonderful family and her American way of life is just having a lovely family. Interviewing different people from different area gave me the opportunity to learn more about the American way of life. Some people are having trouble facing life and some is just too happy for life. Every one of us has it own way of surviving the American way of life and so far everyone are explaining why money is the most important issue. Now this gives me a heads up in my future.
