Lithuanians value religion far more than the average American generally does. In my opinion, Americans seem to branch out or explore various religions from forms of Christianity all the way to Buddhism unlike the Lithuanians, who basically stick to Roman Catholicism. The way Americans and Lithuanians value family, however, is very similar. Family life is a very important part of the social structure and so is music. Just like in America the National Anthem is played representing the countries independence. Also, different genres such as techno, hard rock and country are greatly listened too as well as in the states. Folk songs though can seem very strange to people who haven't been exposed to them. In Lithuania, people value folk music because it's apart of their culture and traditions.
