Besides being a great and magnificent country of American citizens, The United States of America is an outstanding theoretical cultural concept...the idea of such a society is pure genius. However, unlike other countries (except for the English language)...America has no "standard" culture...what is there is a hodgepodge (food, dress, music, etc.) of trendy or faddish human behavior. Of the lands and peoples of the entire world there are none in comparison. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and the processes and procedures that birth them provide the philosophical framework for understanding what the Founders (John Jay of the Federalist Papers) intended for the cultural direction of America...essentially that initial foundation provides both theory and promise for future generations.
