reflecting on an American...
"American" and individuality of person, in thought, word and deed, also in an era of history when "equality" is spread(ing) to all aspects of law, people, society, ideas, culture,...cannot but make a kind of common person(ality), which is determined by having been born (cf. natio-) in some particular family, neighborhood, socio-economic position, town/city, state, region, culture, education...in the USA which are all basically passive elements of one's personality, rather than one's active individuality being developed to surpass one's mere "nationality".
even as an idea this seems rarely present
