Website Helps Students Uncover Nuts and Bolts of American Life
Initially designed for immigrants to the USA, lifeintheusa. com has proved to be an excellent topic source for college and high school student research on American life and social issues. The site has over 600 individual sections that explain and investigate most major aspects of American life.
Santa Fe, NM (PRWEB) March 6, 2006
Topic areas on the lifeintheusa. com site include the American people, culture, law, government, history, religion, business, finance, employment, immigration, medical care, aging, education, transportation, community, shopping, restaurants, and everyday American life. There is even a final section covering American attitudes toward death.
Students around the world have been accessing the lifeintheusa. com site to gather topic ideas for their research. A special section allows students to submit articles for publication on the site reflecting their own insights on American life and national issues.
The lifeintheusa. com site covers matters large and small. The “Retirement and Aging” section treats issues like long-term care and personal safety for seniors. The “American Culture” section details every genre of motion picture, American music, television, radio, literature, art, crafts, sports, and pastimes. The “Finance” section explains methods of banking, credit cards, insurance, taxes, and the maze of personal investments.
Other lifeintheusa. com sections instruct on how to get a driver’s license, how to behave in social settings, how to seek employment or deal with bureaucracies, how to understand American holidays (from Mardi Gras to Thanksgiving), even how to approach the subjects of romance, relationships, dating, and marriage.
The site is not without controversy. Not every social scientist or teacher agrees with the advice that daily showers and deodorant-use are necessary aspects of success in the USA. The exhaustive “Religion” section generates some quibbles. The section on “Medical Care” raises blunt topical issues about the uneven quality of health care in America.
The site accepts contributions from outside sources in its Life In The USA Magazine section. These have included articles on home building, office politics, sports fishing, negotiation skills, and even an explanation of the phenomenon of Hollywood.
