Introduction to my teeny weeny comparison project

At this website American culture is examined, using thirteen cultural categories. They deal with people's attitude towards

1. age,
2. fate and destiny,
3. the human nature,
4. change,
5. taking risks,
6. suffering and misfortune,
7. face,
8. self-esteem and self worth,
9. equality,
10. formality,
11. realism,
12. doing and
13. the natural world.

As an Austrian I’ll try to compare the American vantage point with our vantage point in order to show, where the main differences and similarities lie. However, I think it’s to large a topic to write about in one essay, so I’ll analyse those categories one by one. But first of all, let's find out more about this website! (see next entry)
