WHY DO AMERICANS DO THAT?

do they do that?
- Americans on the move.
You've
probably noticed that Americans tend to move around a great deal
during their lives. This begins young, often right after high school,
with the first separation from a person's family. It's a tradition
for young people to move away from their hometowns to do the
college, but even if they decide not to continue their education,
young Americans usually get a job and move out of their parents's home after high school graduation.
This fast separation and movement
is in keeping with the independence and individually that the
American culture fosters. It's also a matter of job opportunity. Americans will often go wherever their jobs take them, this may
include moving far away from extended family and friends, and could
mean making several different moves from city to city or state to
state. It's also common for Americans to live rather far from where
they work, commenting hours by car or train to their jobs. All of this
is in keeping with a tendency toward movement that Americans
demonstrate.
