Americans are very individualistic restaurant supply nyc and capitalistic. General sense of the word that captured individualiatik is that the people who belong to this group have a selfish nature, do not like each other help or mutual help and not family-oriented.

Myth of American life that individualistic and capitalistic among the Indonesian community is embedded in my mind since the Junior High School (SMP), or perhaps from elementary school (SD).

It can not be denied that to a certain extent, the individualistic restaurant supply nyc and capitalistic myth is true. Things like this is not only found in the U.S., but also easily found in the environment where we hung out and lived alone.

In everyday life, including the behavior of Americans in public restaurant supply nyc places in the U.S. are found approval of the unwritten and unconscious restaurant supply nyc by their own. Approval of this behavior shows the opposite of selfishness. Many behaviors that occur in public places reflects the nature of mutual help, mutual aid, and even family-oriented.

As a pedestrian, it is their habit to walk on the right path. Likewise, when using the common stairs and escalator, like the stairs in shopping malls. If someone is using the escalator and not running, then that person will be standing on the right side of the escalator to give way to others behind their passing through the left side.
Another example is to go out the door. In general, restaurant supply nyc Americans are going to allow people to come out first, then he entered. If behind or in front of anyone else found out about to enter, the user first door will usually hold the door for the person in or out. People are in and out with the automatic say, "Thank you."
I live in the city, there are informal organizations that assist and provide information to the neighbors who have recently moved to our city, the new comers Club. There are also Moms Club and also do not miss the voluntary organizations to maintain security called Neighborhood Watch and the STAR program. STAR is a voluntary program specifically for retirees who helped Sjariff to safeguard the environment. I myself taught Tae Kwon Do for free every Saturday morning at the park.
