            American people have different behavior from people from other countries like my country Panama.  Men are respectful with women and they are not bothering them all the time like in Panama.  In my opinion, here in the U.S. the people are kind and people have good eating habits.  For example, I can see that people like to eat vegetables.  They are looking for the healthier food and in other parts of the world this does not happen.

            Here in the U.S, specifically in Vermont, people are accustomed to the weather; sometimes I can see people walking outside the buildings without gloves or wearing shorts.  People here listen to other kinds of music like pop rock, but in Central America we listen to salsa, meringue and so forth.  The teachers or professors have a different way to teach. In Central America like Panama and Nicaragua we can’t call our professor by their first name because it is disrespectful, but here it is different.  The culture in the U.S. has some differences with other cultures, but in general, we also have some common things.
