1. Mỹ là một nước lớn với người từ các tầng lớp và sắc tộc khác nhau vì vậy thật khó để nói về một người Mỹ điển hình. Tuy nhiên, người ta tin rằng có vài tính cách mà hầu hết người Mỹ đều có. 2. Có lẽ điều quan trọng nhất là sự riêng tư và quyền cá nhân. Tính cách này xuất phát từ những ngày mà ông cha xây dựng nên đất nước, những người là những cá thể rất mạnh mẽ. Người Mỹ đánh giá cao sự tự do và không thích lệ thuộc vào người khác. 3. Tính cách thứ hai là người Mỹ thực tế. Họ đặt giá trị lớn vào những việc mà tự họ làm. Họ cũng tránh nhận lấy những việc quá sức với khả năng của họ. 4. Một điểm điển hình khác của người Mỹ là sự quan trọng mà họ đặt vào đồng tiền và những thứ mà nó có thể mua được. Thực tế, tiền quan trọng hơn uy tín đối với họ. 5. Cuối cùng, ở hầu hết những gia đình Mỹ, cha mẹ ít ảnh hưởng đến con cái hơn cha mẹ ở những nơi khác trên thế giới. Con cái có thể chọn bạn đời, ngay cả khi nếu cha mẹ phản đối sự lựa chọn của chúng. 6. Nói ngắn gọn, những điểm này được cho là một phần của tính cách Mỹ, nhưng giống như nhiều thứ khác trong xã hội hiện đại, chúng có thể thay đổi theo thời gian.

Writing about the typical characteristics of the Vietnamese people.
In my opinion, there are 3 typical characteristics about Vietnamese. The first one is saving. They usually save money from their young age and until their old age. The second one is following the crowd. Most people don’t have their own idea or opinion. Even they have their own one, but if the crowd has another one, they will follow the crowd. The final one is community. They would like to live and work in a familiar place. They don't want to change their living condition. Generally, these characteristics also change over time in the modern society.
