dear Olga,


I believe you have already asked that question and had a lot of help. 
Maybe you could start researching on your own, �cause that �s the way people learn. When I mean research: I refer to our colleagues ws or ppts uploaded here or if your willing for further information you can google - just like I did - and find a few interesting links:



Anyway take a look and see if those can help you somehow.

Some stereotypes I �m familiar with:
Americans are:
-proud
-patriotic
-friendly
-superficial
-arrogant
-competitive
-uninformed about the "outside world" (outside their own borders)
-prudish
-think they are a the "good guy"-- wearing their white cowboy hats and saving the world
-fat (overweight)
-over-consuming capitalists (use-up way too much of our natural resources and think it is okay)
-a bit barbaric/uncultured/unrefined
-ingenious
-hardworkers
Also- people tend to think that all Americans are stereotypical cowboys/Texans (hats, boots, guns, southern drawl, ride horses, shoot indians)
and they are all named Jack Daniel.
