INTRODUCTION:
The United States is a sovereign country constituted as
a constitutional federal republic composed of fifty states and a
federal district. Its capital is Washington D. C. and its most
populous city is New York. Most of the country is located in the
middle of North America where its 48 contiguous states and
Washington D. C. are located, between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. It borders Canada to the
north and Mexico to the south. It is the second largest economy and is a mixed capitalist economy,
characterized by abundant natural resources, a developed infrastructure and high productivity.
DEVELOPMENT:
The United States is characterized by its
cuisine, which is a reflection of the "crisol de
culturas" that is the United States: a melting pot of
cultures that results in a multiethnic society. In the
culinary field, then, there is a great variety of options,
although it can be difficult to delimit the really typical
food. But the most consumed in the U.S. is fast food, which has become their typical food. We
are referring to hamburgers, hot dogs and other not exactly light delicacies that traditionally go
hand in hand with American culture.
Americans also love sports as football, basketball,
baseball and field hockey are the four biggest sports for
audiences in the U.S. Another U.S. tradition is that the American
national anthem is played before most professional sporting events, and many Americans stand,
remove their hats and look at the flag throughout the song.
It is important to mention that the United States has Walt Disney World parks in Orlando,
Florida, which are the number one tourist attraction in the United States. They receive more than
45 million visitors annually, far more than the entire population of many countries. The second
most visited attraction in the United States is a shopping mall in Bloomington, Minnesota. This
gigantic mall offers the possibility of shopping in more than 520 stores and has more than 12,000
parking spaces to accommodate its customers.
One of its biggest attractions for families is the Nickelodeon Universe, an indoor theme
park with roller coasters, among numerous other rides and attractions. It also has a miniature golf
section called Moose Mountain, with 18 holes.
July 4 is Independence Day in the United States, celebrating the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence in 1776. It is celebrated with a variety of festive events. Typical
festivities include:
• Parades: Many cities organize parades with floats, bands and community
participation to show patriotic spirit.
• Community events: Neighborhoods and communities organize activities such as
fairs, contests, games and outdoor barbecues for people to gather.
• Fireworks: Fireworks displays are an integral part of 4th of July celebrations. Large,
spectacular fireworks shows light up the night sky.
• Barbecues and picnics: Many families and friends gather to enjoy cookouts,
barbecues and picnics, often with traditional dishes such as hamburgers, hot dogs
and pies.
• Patriotic ceremonies: Some communities hold patriotic ceremonies to honor
veterans and highlight the nation's core values.
• Clothing: Americans wear red, white and blue or flag-print T-shirts.
In general, the Fourth of July is a day when Americans celebrate freedom, independence
and national identity by sharing special moments with friends and family.
CONCLUSIONS:
The 4th of July is a very important celebration for the Americans, since at that moment
they became free, declaring the United States as an independent nation.
Their celebration is interesting, their activities sound fun and it is something that every
country would celebrate for becoming independent. We liked it, since their way of celebrating and
the way they feel proud of their country is very unique in the world, also this is a symbol of the
fight for freedom, democracy and represents the hope that people can govern themselves.
Mexico also celebrates its independence and some
of the activities that the United States does, Mexico also
does, for example; fireworks, costumes, parades and
family reunions, some of them are celebrated with typical
Mexican food and music.
