Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cultural norms influence how people perceive themselves and describe their identities. In general, Western cultures, like the U.S., emphasize individualism more than Eastern cultures, like Japan, which tend to emphasize collectivism and group affiliations. Therefore, U.S. citizens are less likely to focus on group affiliations when describing themselves, regardless of the language they use.
