Communication among Americans reflects the value they place on individuality, informality, and egalitarianism.

They have customary ways of beginning, carrying on, and ending their conversations. Generalizations about communication among Americans need to be tempered by an awareness of differences according to region, gender, and ethnic and religious identification.
