Abstract
The United States are fascinating country with unique history. Even though Europe and the U.S. share nearly the same values and heritage, there also exist many differences.
This summer, I spent three week in the little city called Independence where I did archival research in the Truman Library but I also had the chance to experience some aspects of the "American way of life".Eventually, I have realized that the U.S. are still in many ways the "wild west" full of paradoxes, dynamic country and devided nation.
