Just for the sake of sake of clarity, I will define my definition of 
culture for this message as Individual Culture, or culture that 
identifies you from the rest.

Unfortunatly it is actually very little comparitively and fading fast. 
I currently line in a city, and have toured to most cities as part of my 
work(Musical Theater Engineer, Touring shows pay well).

I have also spent a fair amount of time touring europe on occasion, and 
have to agree, there was much more culture there than I had ever seen in 
America.  I also have seen what little culture is in america that is 
individualistic is fading fast anbd being replaced by large 
corporations, chain restaurants snuffing out the local flavor of 
restaurant and the like.

Also though America does tend to fight learning other languages(I wont 
speak for Britain).  Just take how much effort is put into teaching a 
second language in school.  Most countries teach at least two languages 
from the start, but in america how many people remember a fraction of 
what they had to learn to graduate 5 years later?  We are at best forced 
to take 4 semesters of it here, but 24-32 semesters of english.  the 
amount of difference is startling.
