Can you help me compare and contrast European and American cultures?

European and American cultures are both rooted in the same traditions and common values such as freedom, respect for individual rights, and democracy. However, there are several differences between them. For example, Europeans have a longer history and more traditional values, while Americans typically have a shorter history and more modern values. Additionally, Europeans generally embrace a complex network of shared values that includes things like family, education, social class, and religion while Americans are more individualistically focussed with an emphasis on the “American Dream.” Also, Americans tend to be more pragmatic when it comes to solutions while Europeans are more concerned with cultural and philosophical implications. Finally, Europeans exhibit more of a collective approach to things whereas Americans prefer a more independent attitude towards achieving success.
