Top 5 symbols in America..
1. McDonalds-I know a lot of people are going to put this as their symbol but it's really big to me. If you think about it there's a McDonald's in every state in the U.S. and to me that's sad. A place with such unhealthy food should not be so popular but unfortunetly is. America wants the quick fix for everything and McDonald's is the perfect fast food place for that.
2. American flag- The flag is a huge symbol of America because it is everywhere and most Americans respect it. We say the pledge of allegiance everyday at school and stand up looking to the flag with our hand over our heart. It's a very sentimental symbol to me and I think it's a huge part of America.
3. Fashion- Fashion in general is a huge part of America because it represents who we are. We get to express ourselves in whatever way we like through our clothes and it tells other people who don't know us well a little bit about us. It can be bad though because sometimes it conforms people into being something they're not.
4. Technology- This is big in America because everything these days is almost based off of technology. We have computers in school to do our work, we have iPods and cell phones and a ton of other stff I'm not going to list but it is a huge contribution in our society today. It also can be bad though because it has changed our language, for example texting lingo. People are becoming more and more addicted to technology as it gets more and more in depth.
5. Money- Money has a major impact in the U.S. because it basically controls everything. People start fights over money, they die because of money, they find jobs because of money, everything happens because of it. It is such a large focus in society that people forget to focus on the more important stuff which I think is a partial reason why our generation is changing.
