Jersey shore I think can symbolize America, and specially the youth. This show is well known throughout the whole country by kids, teens, adults and even seniors. A good percentage of the viewers, mainly teens, can relate to things that go on in the show. For example, many drink, party, are  involved in drama, and have sexual intercourse. Over all the show represents a common life style of many teens living in America, even though it is not so great.

                                                Fast food places in my opinion will never run out of business from what I see. Many people here in the US depend on places like Burger King, White Castle, McDonald's etc., as their food source every day. For what ever reason people buy fast food, doesn't change the fact that they eat it a lot. Fast food is not healthy food, and even though many are aware of this they don't seem to change their eating habits. As a result, I truly do think that fast food is a major symbol that represents America.
                                                 Money, money, money... this is definitely something that represents America. I say this because to several people, money, is the most important thing in their lives. They love it so much that they sacrifice friendships,family and so many other things, just so they can have more bills in their pocket. People become obsessed with money that they fall into problems like gambling, and other illegal activity (selling drugs, human trafficking). The way many think that money can buy them happiness, proofs that they cherish money a lot.
                                                  I think that America can be represented by the white headed eagle.To begin with, eagles have good eye vision that helps them catch what they want, and this is like Americans always looking for what is best for them. This can include people looking for things like power, a good house, car, job, health, a good reputation etc. Another thing is that eagles catch small prey as food just like Americans can sometimes step on others smaller than them just to get to the top. Another reason why this is a symbol is because the eagle is found in things like American coins, bills and much more.
                                                    All around the United States we can find families that own one or more pet/s. Animals like dogs, cats, lizards, fish, monkeys, hamsters, bunnies, birds and much more belong to families. They are loved by majority of the people here in the USA that pets are refer to as family now. Love for pets can be shown by the pet shops that have all sorts of things for pets, including a variety of clothes, collars, food etc.Due to the great number of people that own a pet, I can say that pets are an important part of the American culture, therefore, a symbol of this country.
