My understanding of American culture if I lived in another country

If I were to live in another country other than America and were to be asked what my understanding of American culture was, my reply would be that; I understand America to be the land of "the melting pot."  A country in which a whole bunch of different people from all over the world with different religions, attributes, ideas, music taste, food influence, etc have come together in one land and have formed a shared cultural being. America isn't just made up of one in particular culture.  It has many different flavors, varieties, and mixtures of people with different influences which in affect make up the whole of America.  The culture that makes up America, is the binding of people who have imported from other countries to America in order to live and be American.
