Cultures and Clichés

Hey guys,

I have just been reading the article "FAT-FREE and HAPPY" some days ago at school. The text talks about Amercian clichés and the truth. This article includes lots of facts about Amercia you might not know.
There is one statement: America has no culture. But this is definately false. In Boston culture is alive and well. Massachusetts' largest city is a very nice place with fantastic museums and two of the world's most famous universities, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institue of Technology. The articles' author mentions that few clichés are true. Everything is bigger in the USA: the shopping malls, the women and the glasses of Coca-Cola. The Amercian also wear some unusual clothes which are not part of our culture. It takes a lot of time to understand this country, especially because of the big amount of contradictions.

So what is your opinion about this country and which clichés do you think are true? Tell me.
