Ten strange American traditions
There are differences in traditions around the world, and customs in one region may be very odd for others.
Thanks to Hollywood and other media campaigns, American culture and traditions have spread across the globe.
But just as Americans find tradition strange in other places, so do others.
And then we're going to introduce 10 American traditions that are common, but people in other countries will find strange.
It is far from enough to be present and seated at a back-of-the-car picnic at
1 when Americans participate in sporting events (especially football).
They have to be here hours in advance to prepare for the live games.
People attending the “Tailgate parties” will wear the same colors as the team and fill the parking lot at the stadium.
We're all going to barbecue, we're going to drink cold, we're going to play lawn games, we're going to talk about football and so on.
Many people value the venue for picnics and even drag sound, television and satellite antennas to add color to the event.
As for when this party starts, there's no first, only earlier! Some fans are here at dawn to celebrate - even on the night before the game! In addition to the car park dinner, there are many American football-related traditions in the United States, such as what we're going to say next.
It's hard to watch SuperBowlCommercials.
Americans are the largest audience in the Super Bowl, and they very much look forward to the commercials that are dropped in the margin of the competition, and they want to see which one is the brightest.
Over the next few days, there has been a tumultuous debate about which ads are the best and rank them, and then again and again, the interest in advertising is even greater than those that are sometimes poor.
Which ads cost the most? Which cost is amazing? The timing of these advertisements is geometric? To answer these questions, the following figures may be useful.
Doritos is one of the most popular advertisements in 2011, with a cost of $500.
Approximately 60 commercial advertisements were broadcast during the competition, at a price of up to $3 million per 30 seconds.
Despite the fact that advertising costs as much as $100,000 per second, advertisers are still willing to “go on” this particular American tradition.
While the definition of the American dream is not static and has been adjusted in recent years, few deny that most Americans educate their children that the American dream is the American dream of each of them.
Whether or not this is something else, but it is not the subject of our discussion today.
From an emotional point of view, the American dream inspires the passion for freedom of those who work hard to realize the American dreamBelieve in their equal rights on the road to prosperity.
But from a more practical point of view, many believe that the realization of the American dream has gradually been equated with consumerism and home ownership, and that its core is no longer a mere doctrine.
Whatever the truth may be, it remains a major tradition of the United States to carry on the idea that every generation can realize the American dream.
The United States media have been very open to the sensationalization of the “Stage of the Century” American language.
Thus, every few years, a new TrialoftheCentury was born in the United States.
Each case is worse and more painful than the previous one, so that the previous “Seventeenth Century” was ignored.
The Greatest Trial of the Century often happens to celebrities such as Roscoe Arbuckle, O.J.
Simpson and Bill Clinton, former President of the United States, but most of the time, the Greatest Trial of the Century turns an ordinary person into a celebrity (whether they so wish or not).
In the recent “Stage of the Century”, an ordinary person, Casey Anthony, was pushed to the forefront of public attention by the media.
But most of her “honour” was condemned by society, while the American public spared no effort in attacking her on social networking sites.
Nevertheless, such a situation would not last long, and a new “century grand trial” would emerge and replace it a few years later.
Each year, when the corn straws go up into the sky and leaves turn yellow, orange or red, the American people go to the farm in groups to celebrate the fall season.
Most of these festivals are actually ordinary, but they may seem a little weird outside.
Usually, a family rides in a haystack, selects pumpkins, crosses the corn maze, tastes cider, plays with farm animals, etc.
The reason why these programmes appear on our list is because the PunkinChunkin competition, where tourists are excited to see who can throw pumpkins as far as possible.
In order to satisfy this audience, air cannons, ejectors, stone-throwers and machines that use twirl and centrifugal power can be used.
Finally, we all had a great time, except for pumpkins.
While many cultures have a historical tradition of dressing and bartering all kinds of food on Halloween without giving sugar, few customs allow children to ask for sugar door-to-door and keep saying, “Talk or spoil.” It's widely accepted that this strange custom originated in the United States, but it's interesting that perhaps the most confusing part of the custom is the children who are marching in front of the neighborsSon.
Parents do not allow them to talk to strangers for candy, let alone to wander the streets in the middle of the night, yet suddenly turn 180 degrees each fall on this magical night to encourage such tricks.
The key to this prank, however, is that they can only get these precious foods if the parrots learn to repeat the spell of “no sugar or no sugar”.
I hope no grown-ups refuse to give sugar, but ask these confused newcomers to “disturb”.
But in a few years, they'll understand, and “turming” will become their indispensable tradition in October.
The President's pardon for turkeys at Thanksgiving has become a tradition in the United States.
For those who are not interested in traditional American holidays, Thanksgiving seems to confuse them.
But the most incomprehensible part of this strange turkey event is that every year the President pardons a turkey from the National TurkeyFederation, NTF.
Interestingly, the Americans themselves don't understand where this strange tradition comes from.
Since 1947, the National Turkey Alliance has been giving Thanksgiving turkeys to the President every year, but it was years since President Kennedy pardoned the turkeys for the first time to save them from the fire.
However, this pardon was by accident, far from the official presidential pardon of the United States.
It was only in 1989, when President George Bush officially held the first “pardon turkey ceremony” at the Rose Garden, that the “presidential pardon turkey” became a tradition in the United States.
The Black Friday shopping boom
makes millions of unapplicated turkeys a meal for Americans every year on Thanksgiving Day, and in a few hours, the shopping corps will start buying Christmas presents.
The weekend shopping boom began on Friday, black, and ended on Monday, CyberMonday.
(Web Monday is the newest Internet shopping festival for Internet purchases)p >In 2010, a survey by the National RetailFederation indicated that after Thanksgiving, more than 200 million customers in the United States purchased or went to real stores, with 106 million Americans planning to do so on the first Monday after Thanksgiving.
The shopping hours on Friday night
catered to the needs of a large part of the population, but some of the intransigents queued to the mall early and exhausted.
Among them are crazi purchasers who want to buy large or specific commodities, and occasionally even riot or serious trampling.
I'm sorry
