Fun With 20 Questions
20 questions is a popular term used in American culture. It is usually used it one of two ways. Either someone, when feeling interrogated will say, “What’s with the 20 questions?” or, people will play a game called 20 questions. American society is highly individualistic. People like to share feelings, thoughts and emotions when they choose to and do not like to be hassled or probed for information. When asked sequential questions about an event, situation or circumstance, some people feel trapped and will refer to the 20 questions reference. It has been said that 20 questions is the amount of questions where, depending on what is asked, people can gauge what the situation is.
