For each of the following cultural universals give one example from American culture.

1. Intelligence: Knowing how to do things in this constantly developing world, going to schools and colleges.Knowing yourself, not just academicly but in everyway possible, academic intelligence is definetly not the only kind. Theres mental, physical, worldly, and many more.

2. Clothing: Clothing is something you use to cover up your body, us humans have abused it though. It was first made to keep you warm, or cover your unwanted body parts, but now its all about looks and fashion, otherwise the society of today will not accept you.NEVER!

3. Music: Music is something you listen to for relaxation. You use it for your own peace, and entertainment. But the world is a developing place, so we decided to get creative, and make different kinds. Some are more appealing to others, some are not, but music is something that will never die, no matter what you try to do. It's been around since day one.

4. Language: Language's are a way that creatures or anything living communicate verbally.There is lots of different languages created by different people all around the world. Almost every culture in the human world has some sort of verbal communication, invented by humans, invented by whatever creature you are.

5. Standard of living: A standard of Living is your personal expectations of living. Which must include, food, water, and sleep. Thats all you need, besides a basic tempuature. But us humans, we have warped the standards of living, way to much with everything we have created. But it makes our lives better and improves our lifetime in many ways. But what about the other creatures of Earth, humans are to selfish and disgusting to care about the other creatures, or species. They deserve as much as we do. They are on this earth just like us if not, before us. This earth is a savage, violent place. I hate survival of the Fittest. Why can't we all just be at peace? Were all to angry and vial, filled with lust and revenge.

6. Standard of beauty: The standard of beauty, humans are to obsessed with it. We are an obsessive species. Standard of beauty is the standard of what society expects, its pretty much follow society or die with anything. Standard of beauty is looking good, and can be good, it makes you feel better about yourself, and is fun sometimes. But to those whom for some reason can't do it, there screwed.

7. Education: Education is learning, having an education means you have or are gaining knowledge of how the world works and how to use things in it. The knowledge of Earth.

8. Economics: Economics is something people made up. Economy is something people revolve around. The economy consists of everything buisness wise and money wise. The economy is peoples way of life pretty much.

9. Art: Art is something beautiful, something the world, or the creatures on the world have made that they find attractive, its only sucessful if other people lke it, unless your strong minded enough.

10. Government: Government is the way of order chosen by someone. Something that people and things must abide by and follow. Government is made by people, forms of government include, democracy, monarchy, dictatorship, and communisum etc.

___
 * Government: Government is different in every country on earth, every culture has its own government. It keeps people from killing each other, even though we do it it anyways, and war.
