American way

The American way of life, or simply the American way, is the unique lifestyle, real or imagined, of the people living in the United States of America. It refers to a nationalist ethos that purports to adhere to principles of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." At the center of the American way is the American Dream, the idea that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work. This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism, the notion that the American way is only possible in the U.S. because of the unique culture of the nation.

This way of life, which developed from the 17th century onward, is an example of a behavioral modality, a set of behavioral norms which develops in a group.

Author William Herberg offers the following definition:

As one commentator notes, "The first half of Herberg's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it", even though "Herberg's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms".

I U (EP)

I U (stylized as I□U) is the first Japanese extended play (fifth overall) by South Korean singer-songwriter and actress IU, released on December 14, 2011. It was IU's first release in the Japanese domestic market, and was a compilation of Korean-language songs released between 2008 and 2011.

Background and development

IU first performed in Japan at two charity concerts for the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami: Tokyo Densetsu 2011 (東京伝説2011) on May 15, 2011 and the Seoul-Osaka Music of Heart 2011 Fighting Japan! concert on June 8, 2011.

LOEN Entertainment signed IU with Japanese music label EMI Music Japan, now a sublabel of Universal Music Japan. Her Japanese debut was first announced on November 16, 2011, along with the announcement of the extended play. The album was a first step into the domestic Japanese market, and was marketed as a pre debut album. IU later debuted properly in Japan in March 2012, with a Japanese version of her song "Good Day" serving as her debut single.

The extended play was released 15 days after her second Korean-language studio album, Last Fantasy, was released in South Korea.
