As a Swiss person: 1) Risk-on mentality - Maybe even a little bit too much, but US is definitely a country where taking risks is much more accepted and encouraged. It has its downsides but imo in Europe we are way too much on the safetyism side. 2) Culture creation - For as long as I can remember maybe like 75% of social trends that took off in the US ended up taking off in Europe, and for the reverse I would say maybe like 10% max? 3) East / West Coast difference - Personal opinion, but the difference in lifestyle and contrast between the east and west coasts is much more pleasant and interesting than European analogues (German/ French parts in Switzerland, East/West Germany, etc). 4) (controversial) Death Penalty Still Exists - Not saying US death penalty rules are perfect, but it seems like the society still thinks that some crimes are so bad that rehabilitation isn't in society's interest, which I applaud.
