German Culture vs. American Culture
German culture is well over 2,000 years old and has changed and evolved as most cultures do over such a lengthy period of time. The first detailed description of Germanic culture was written by Julius Caesar in his "Gallic Wars". American culture, by contrast, has developed over a relatively short period of time in the scale of history. American culture is a mixture of Anglo-Saxon, French, and Native American beliefs and customs, in addition to myriad other culture practices brought to the New World by America's immigrants.

German is the official language of the Republic of Germany. It is a member of the West Germanic Languages and is spoken by roughly 120 million people worldwide. German is used in all aspects of German society, from schools to government functions. English, as spoken in its American form, is the recognized language of the United States, but not the official language. English is also a member of the West Germanic languages although it was very heavily influenced by French after the Norman Conquest of 1066. 2 Teenage Life
German teenagers typically finish their high school education at the age of 16, when they decide whether to transfer to trade school, a university, or to enter the workforce.
