German culture is well over 2,000 years old and has changed and developed as most cultures do over such a lengthy period of time. American culture is only about 237 years old. American culture is mainly a mixture of British, French, and Native American beliefs and customs.
German is the official language of the Republic of Germany. It is a member of the West Gemanic Languages and is spoken by roughly 120million people worldwide. German is used in all aspects of German society, from schools to government functions. English, as spoken in its American form, is recognized language of the United States, but not the official language. About 500 billion people speak English all over the world. English is also a member of the West Germanic languages although it was very heavily influenced by French after 1066.
German teenagers typically finish their high school education at the age of 16, when they decide whether to attend a university, or to enter the workforce. Drivers’ licenses cannot be applied for until the age of 18. Alcohol such as beer can be legally bought by teenagers from the age of 16. American teenagers finish their education at the end of the 12th grade, which is around the age of 17 or 18. At this point they decide whether to enter the workforce, continue their education, or join the army. A teenager can drive at the age of 18 but cannot buy alcohol until the age of 21.
