Fremd Culture

If I were a cultural anthropologist visiting Fremd, I would leave the school with the impression that Americans were materialistic, and also with a sense of conformity. When I walk the halls of Fremd, I would see Uggs on every girl’s feet, and a Vera Bradley bag on their back. I would see kids listening to their iPods, texting on their smart phones, or showing off a new technological product. I would also see that there are cliques among the students, although not as exaggerated as they are in movies. I would say that the values of American culture, based on Fremd students, would be better, faster technology, and the latest fashion trends.

I agree that the cliques aren't as exaggerated as movies, but they are still noticeable. But all of the materialistic things students have are very noticeable. All of the uggs, vera bradley bags, and north face jackets are very noticeable.
