There is,of course,no single pattern of American character any more than there is a single Engligh or Turkish or Chinese character.Personality in America is further complicated by our diverse racial and cultural origins,by successive waves of immigration from all parts of the world, by our regional diversities.It is complicated by several hundred varieties of religious belief with their varying impact on the believers.It is further diversified by the generaton to which the person belongs---first generation immigrant,second generation child of immigrants,and on down the line.
