The average Americans are a very paradoxical group of people. I agree with Steinbeck; most Americans always try to chase their goals, but they are disappointed and want more when they reach them. Under most circumstances, this would be good. The problem is, most Americans don’t try to put in more work to achieve that dream. Still, Americans call themselves the most hardworking and smart people. This is simply untrue, as stated in the next few examples.
Many of the contradictions stereotyped with Americans are actually true for almost all of us, I included. One instance is free speech. Americans pride ourselves on being a country where free speech is a birthright, yet when someone says something controversial they are ridiculed and shunned.
