Example text
To begin with, emotions are a natural, spontaneous phenomenon— they just happen—and Americans inherently trust what is natural. For Americans, then, emotions aren’t inherently bad or dangerous, as they seem to be among the British, though Americans do accept that giving vent to emotions may be bad in the wrong circumstances. They realize that what is natural may not always be civil, in other words, but they believe strongly that civility purchased at the price of concealment and dishonesty, which is how Americans view the British attempt to suppress emotions, is a dubious achievement.
American directness may also be related to the fact that there was so much opportunity in the New World. What did it matter if you spoke your mind and caused offense? You could always go to a new place and start your life over. Yet another cause of American directness may be the heterogeneous nature of the culture. As noted earlier, England’s policy of open immigration made the American colonies a cornucopia of nationalities, all living and working cheek by jowl. Unlike people from more homogeneous countries, where everyone shares the same long national experience and the values and beliefs shaped thereby, people from more diverse societies have much less in common, much less that they intuitively know and understand about each other.
