American Culture.
Many
Americans tend to deny that a distinctively American culture exists.
On the other hand, specific patterns of behavior are often identified
and described as typically American, in fact, "as American
as apple pie!" By using an anthropological model of culture,
this poster explores such a process of self-identification, and
highlights some core characteristics of "Americanness"
as they are expressed in various forms of everyday behavior.
