American culture is influenced by diversity, with Americans originating from many parts of the world. Key aspects of American culture include government and laws, popular sports like baseball and football, iconic films and musicians, and a cuisine with influences from different cultures. American culture reflects both a melting pot where cultures integrate and a salad bowl where cultures retain their uniqueness while influencing each other.
