The American way, or "American Way" (with a capital "W"), is a style and approach that is uniquely American. It appears in an often-used expression as "truth, justice, and the American way."

Examples of the American way include:

  • freedom of speech and religion
  • gun ownership and defense of that right
  • presidential elections every four years
  • a sports culture
  • less respect for teachers and universities than in most countries
  • a high level of religious activity and participation
  • far greater wealth than in the rest of the world
  • a devotion to traditional marriage and family life
  • unique competitions, such as baseball's World Series, the Super Bowl, and competitive eating - “'It’s definitely an American tradition that comes from the fairgrounds,' says competitive eating coach and homeless housing advocate Neil Thomas.”[1]

The classic book by Alexis de Toqueville, Democracy in America, discusses and highlights examples of the American way from nearly two centuries ago.
