Most Americans feel that they have a lot of things to do, and that their families, their employers, their companies, society as a whole are demanding much of them. There is no time to be wasted.
If you describe yourself to your students as an “American” educator, don’t be surprised if your students think you are Canadian, or Mexican, or Brazilian. To the rest of the world, those little “North America” and “South America” labels on the globe are relevant. Not all “Americans” are from the United States of America. So be specific.
This is especially true for Central Europeans who tend to assume that a) they learned enough about American communication patterns via literature and media consumption, and/or b) communication styles are very similar and thus, differences can be neglected.

" My daughter had to take a 5 hour course for court. Gisela was wonderful, very helpful, and understanding!!
Individuality: Americans are motivated from an early age to be independent and to develop their own goals in life. They are not encouraged to depend (too much) on others, including their friends, teachers, and parents.
Etiquette. Extending the hand is the most common practice. A hug and a kiss on the cheek are also very common practices among men and women, close friends or relatives.
We speak of Latinos and Hispanics as a group because the sub-groups have similar cultural commonalities. Hispanics (or Latinos) tend to be conservative/traditional in their lifestyle and culture. Male chauvinism in Latin men separates them clearly from Americans.
The lack of use of a title denoting authority between people in the United States is an example of equality. Titles, such as “sir” and “madam” are rarely used. It’s common to call managers, directors, presidents and even teachers (professors) by their first name. Time: Being on time is imperative in the United States.
Privacy: Americans like their privacy and enjoy time alone. Visitors from other countries will find the offices and homes of Americans open, but their thoughts are considered private.
The Hispanic woman also has a very different role from her American counterpart. Those features are especially evident in recent immigrants.
Most Americans will apologize if they arrive late somewhere. For instance, in school, students are encouraged to always arrive on time, and they are penalized if they come late to classes. Teachers are also expected to be on time.
