==** The United States has the world's largest, most different kinds, and the most technically advanced economy. While American society as a whole is well done, there is a widening gap between the wealthy and the poor, and even between those who are middle class and those who struggle to meet the main needs. The country's economic strength is based on different kinds industrial and service sectors, investments abroad, the dollar as a major world currency, a demand-driven consumer society, and exports. The service sector employs more people than manufacturing, but the United States remains a world leader in industry and high technology. It exports capital goods, cars, customer goods, candy, food, and machinery. It also exports pop culture ( movies, music, televisions, fashion, sports), which fuels global demand for American goods.

They enjoy watching TV or a movie, eating, and relaxing together. Appointments are expected to begin immedietly. Guests invited to a home for dinner should arrive on time because the meal is often served first. Hospitality takes many forms: a formal dinner served on fine dishes, an outdoor barbecue with paper plates, or a relaxing visit with beverages only or no refreshments at all. Hosts generally want guests to feel at ease, sit where they like, and enjoy themselves. It is not unusual for either guests or hosts to agree on a reasonable limit of time for the visit if schedules are pressing. Guests are not expected to bring gifts, but a small token such as beverages or flowers might be appreciated. Hosts inviting close friends to dinner may ask them to bring a food item to be served with the meal. We like socializing. ** == || history || ** Notes from: ** Who founded the country?
