Help about movie and USA
Hi everyone! I need your help understanding something. I'm from and live in a small town in South America, where there are maybe 150 people.
I love USA culture, but there are some things I don't understand, and I hope you can help me.
Are formal dances considered high society? Maybe it's a stereotype; it's always white people at these parties. I've seen a lot of movies like Bicentennial Man, but I'd like to know if they'll still be having these dances with elegant suits, dresses, and live music in 2026.
How much "real" time do police captains give you to investigate a case before you can investigate another one? I mean, I've seen The Wire and True Detective, and this happens: they investigate a case, and after 15 or 30 days, if they don't have any results, their superiors give them another case to solve and investigate.
I would really appreciate any help.
