My wife went to USA on an exchange program and the amount of people that turned one thing into 100% of their personality that she thought she was on a different planet.
It's because it's celebrated in every way. Americans have looked at the one special thing they enjoy as the way they find attention and it's often seen through media. If you are a football player everything relates to that. And their good deeds mostly are noticed through that filter. Our individualism is what made us a nation. I personally love this part of it, however it comes at the cost of others not seeing the harm it does when it comes to specific problems.
That is just my insight. Who knows I might just be a dumb American.
I couldn't have said it better myself, as a fellow dumb American.
And if you don't have a specific thing to adopt as an identity, you're a loser. At least that's how it feels.
