jThe United States of America was the first nation on the planet that was born out of the idea that people had the capacity to totally govern themselves. The political philosophies of Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu become the great American experiment. The notion that the political ideologies which suggest natural rights surpass the divine right of Kings was as radical as it could get in the 17th century. (Please note that the U.S. with all of its aspiring ideologies has not been without fault. There was and still is discrimination here, and although we have not attained the aspiration of 'We The People' the nation has struggled to move in that direction, much blood has been shed in that vein.) Another subject that differentiates The United States from other nations are the people who live here. We are a nation of people who at one point or another came from another nation. Often referred to as a nation of immigrants, the U.S. is far more ethnically diverse than most other nations. I think that the complexity of America's diversity has created a very unique perspective on its culture. For example, if they choose people can celebrate ethnic festivals such as St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Chinese New Year and need not be Irish, Mexican or Chinese to do so. On the other hand, regardless of where their heritage originates, most folks do recognize and my experience has been that many celebrate the 4th of July. That mindset is purely American.
