| ARTICLES RELATED TO native peoples | | | |  native peoples: Encyclopedia II - Culture of the United States - Death ritualsDeaths are generally thought to be an occasion for grieving by the majority of Americans. Funerals are held to honor the "passing away" of the individual. Unlike many other cultures, even that of neighboring Mexico, death is looked upon by most Americans as a much greater sadness, and is dealt with in a much more subdued manner.

| | | | | native peoples: Encyclopedia II - Culture of the United States - Work and jobs Most people commute to work using automobiles rather than mass transit; the effect of the automobile on the United States is significant.

The United States has minimum wage laws requiring a minimum wage for many employees, though a number of employment sectors are excluded.

| | | | | native peoples: Encyclopedia II - Culture of the United States - Romantic relationships Couples often meet through religious institutions, work, school, or friends. "Dating services," services that are geared to assist people in finding partners, are popular both on and offline.
The trend over the past few decades has been for more and more couples deciding to cohabitate before, or instead of, getting married.
