An American is someone who loves thier country and the people in it, and believes in bettering thier own lives as well as the lives of those around them. To say that the majority of people in the United States have some sort of tie with an ethnic background from a different country would be a safe asumption. This is what makes our American Culture unique.
Immigrants bring to our country strong family structures and strong morals.
In todays American society it is not uncommon for their to be families broken up by divorce or other domestic disturbances. However, immigrants seem to have much more stronger family values. This is especially true of traditional developing societies. Many of these newcomers have strong traditions and beliefs wich are strict and are instilled in thier children. By immigrants comming to America with these type of beliefs and strong traditions it sets good examples for our western civilization.
