THINKING IN THE PAST
Americans tend to live and think in the past meaning when they are faced
with a totally new situation they may tend to react according to the beliefs and
opinions they have always held, instead of trying to accept or adapt to new
ideas. This is similar to interpreting the "present" through a rear view
mirror, which is like walking backwards into the future!
