Do Americans Make a Big Deal About Everything?
The “big deal” mentality makes America great

Americans make a big deal about everything. It doesn’t matter if it’s trivial or not, Americans are obsessed with the smallest things. But that doesn’t mean it’s all bad. In many ways, this behavior is what makes “the American dream” possible.
In America, they don’t think twice about yelling in a crowded theater or taking the last piece of cake at a party. They’re obsessed with being right and winning arguments at all costs. They proudly enjoy their sense of entitlement and self-entitlement as well as their “big” egos. In short, where would the average American be without big deals? It’s not just about the size of things — it’s what those things represent that makes them matter to them so much.
Americans have a big deal mentality when it comes to business. Their love of big businesses and corporations has helped propel America to the status of being the world’s richest nation. They pride themselves on their ability to get things done and be successful. This is one area that makes Americans different from any other nationality in the world today.
The “big deal” mentality is also prevalent in their entertainment industry, which is one of the most successful industries in the history of mankind. They’re always looking for ways to make things bigger and better than ever before. This obsession helps them create some truly amazing works of art such as Hollywood blockbusters, Broadway shows, music videos, professional sports events, etc., etc., etc.. Again, it’s not just the size of things — it’s what those things represent that makes them matter to them.
Americans love to make a big deal about big events such as sports, political rallies and public demonstrations. Again, not just the size of things — it’s the sense of importance and meaning in those events that makes them matter so much. Of course, there are many other examples in American society that illustrate their obsession with making big deals out of simple everyday occurrences. But this article is about the “big deal” mentality and its effect on our culture at large.
Many people are quick to criticize this “big deal” mentality. They mock it and say that it’s what makes Americans so superficial and materialistic. But that’s missing the point. In America, they aren’t so much concerned with having the biggest and best things in life as they are with achieving their dreams, realizing their potentials, living their dreams and enjoying the fruits of their labors. In America, it’s not what you have that matters to others— it’s who you are as a person or what you’ve accomplished that counts most of all to them.
Many people think that the “big deal” mentality will eventually destroy America and make them weak. However, I believe that obsession with making big deals out of big things is what makes America great. It’s not about the size of things — it’s about what those things represent that matters to them.
In America, it’s not what you have that matters to others — it’s who you are as a person or what you’ve accomplished that counts most of all to them.
It’s a testament to their country’s greatness when you realize that they have naysayers consistently hating on their way of life, trying to explain why they’re failing as a nation. America is a great country and will continue to be so for decades to come.
Americans make a big deal about everything, but it has little or nothing to do with if they’re a successful people, or if they’re staying relevant in the world. They make big deals about things like athletes’ tattoos, celebrities’ jewelry, how many kids an athlete has and which celebrity the athlete married. If you had to sum up their culture through one word, it would have to be “eccentricity” because that’s just how they are.
America is a great country and will continue to be so for decades to come.
I’m sure most kids growing up in America have a fair share of these “big deal” moments, like when they were in elementary school and got to see Michael Jordan play in person for the first time. Or how about when their high school football team won the state championship for the first time. Or when their star athlete made the national baseball team. There are so many other examples of big deals that add to my point of this article and make it ludicrous that anyone would be able to criticize what makes America great.
But you know what? They’re not about to stop making big deals about big things just because there are critics running around making claims that they’re becoming a laughing stock. If anything, they love being compared to the rest of the world and they love proving them wrong. But in most cases, I think that their obsession with making “big deals” is healthy and doesn’t go too far overboard. In fact, I’d say that it’s one of the best things about being an American.
They may have a country filled with everything from heroes to idiots, but this is exactly why they’re a great nation. They’re a mass society full of people with different viewpoints and opinions on everything. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “the truth is somewhere in between.” In other words, not everybody sees things the same way. So why should they? In fact, this is part of what makes America great.
In America, you can believe whatever you want to believe about things such as religion and politics. And it’s only because you have this freedom to do so that some people choose to be naysayers throughout their lives. But the average American isn’t going to stop just because some people are. I’d argue that that’s one of the things they love most about their nation — their freedom to think and believe as they see fit.
It’s not always about what you “think” or “believe,” but how you’re perceived by others. I hear it all the time — even people who disagree with the politics saying things like, “I’m not a big deal person.” But if being a big deal is so bad, why would anyone want to be one? It just doesn’t make sense when I think about it logically.
Maybe what makes America a great nation is that they encourage individuality and originality among their citizens and encourage them to express their thoughts and feelings about almost anything.
My point is that America is a great country for being a “big deal” society. Maybe they don’t always see eye-to-eye with others on what’s really going on in the world, but that’s OK. They’re not here to “agree” with everyone else; they’re here to pursue their dreams and realize their potentials.
If you want to be part of society that makes only “little deal” out of big things, you can move to another nation but let me tell you something: America isn’t home for you either. There’s nothing wrong with being different — it’s part of who you are. It makes America great!
