Some people see America as a global evil, an enemy for all time, a real fiend of hell. And some consider America almost flawless, a universal ideal, a “shining city on a hill,” a man-made paradise. Too many people look at America through black and white binoculars, unable to distinguish the shades. But she is neither a fiend of hell on Earth, nor a man-made paradise. America is a country of great achievements and blatant outrages, high comfort for some and grave disorder in life for others. This is a real country in which real people live their real lives, far from the ideas that exist about it in the world. This book will give us the opportunity to get to know America even better and more objectively. Readers will learn more about the life of an American in his family and the life of a simple family in America, how holidays are celebrated in America and what an American does when he has nothing to do. Get acquainted with the features of modern American everyday culture: from feminism to sports; will receive information about different types of visas and their new features; about education and doing business in the USA; about ways to learn English and choose a lawyer and much more.
