1. What does it mean to be an American?

If someone calls themselves an American, they are usually confirming (some may not apply to certain people):

• They were born in America

• They still live in America (not always)

• They follow American culture

• They speak English

Some of these may not be correct for some people, since everyone is different and they may have their own definition of "American".
