Jací jsou? - Američané – group of authors (2019)

The entertaining guide describes the nature and lifestyle of Americans. You will read details about their everyday life, what they live for, what they believe in, how the American family and society function. You will discover why personal rights are so important in America and what significance sports, money, beauty, and success hold for them. All of this is presented in a fresh way, both seriously and with a touch of irony. Americans take pride in being different from one another and from the rest of the world. As a nation of immigrants, Americans can essentially belong to any ethnic background. Perhaps the only obvious difference between Americans and people from other countries is that Americans spend much more time at the dentist during their teenage years, resulting in wonderfully straight teeth. This is also a nation whose most fundamental social relationship is casual dating, and they love sports above all else. Being the best is very important to an American. Practically every event in an American's life is structured to have a winner, or at least a participant who comes out ahead of the others. Moreover, Americans believe that they themselves are the only nation truly capable of winning. Winning is important to Americans because it makes them feel good, and feeling good is what it's all about in America.
