USA

Mcdonald's represents America because it is a symbol of fast food. It says that you can grab dinner on the way home from work without having to go into the restaurant or cook at home. It symbolizes tasty food for those who don't want to spend a lot, like a teenager or middle to low class America.







The NFL symbolizes America because most of America loves football. When you see the NFL symbol many times it symbolizes watching a game on Sunday with snacks and beer in hand and cheering for your team as loud as possible. Its a symbol of loyalty to your teams as well as quality man-time with your friends if you're a male.






Money makes the world go round! Money is a symbol of America because everyone wants it. People come to America to find jobs to support themselves and family, and people in America are constantly looking for new ways to get it. Money's a symbol of having a job, being able to afford nice things, being smart with investing, or just getting lucky sometimes. It can also symbolize divorce from too many hours at work, theft, shady deals, ect. So it's not always a good symbol for us.




TV is a huge part of America today. It used to be that only the wealthy or a few people had Tevison but now you can find them in every home, sometimes in every room of a home. It symbolizes the media and how they can be in the back of our minds everywhere we go. There's televisions at work, school, even at gas stations now; media has gotten into many places we didn't expect it. It's a symbol of the powere actors and actresses have, that they're seen everyday and of the things America as a whole does to get attention with the media.





Sex is one of the main symbols of young America. As teens and young adults we're constantly being shown that sex is okay to do whenever and with whoever. Sex poses as a symbol of how much America has changed from the time when sex was a secret, nearly sacred act saved for marriage. Now sex symbolizes how we dress (scantily clad ladies, low swaggin pants for boys) and how we act (hungry for attention from the opposit sex, sexy)
