This thesis examines American lifestyle and culture from sociological, linguistic, pedagogical, and intercultural perspectives. The research analyzes the influence of multiculturalism, individualism, technological development, consumer culture, and educational values on modern American society [1, p.24]. Comparative analysis highlights the differences between American individualistic culture and traditional collectivist societies. The study also includes research observations and practical educational recommendations for improving intercultural competence in language education. The findings demonstrate that understanding American culture contributes significantly to communicative competence, cultural literacy, and international cooperation.References
