Because people in the United States have come from so many
nationalities, there is a far wider range of what is acceptable than in
some countries where the inhabitants have grown up with a common
heritage. As a result, no one needs to feel awkward or uncomfortable in
following his or her own customs. Although Americans are noticeably
informal, if you prefer somewhat greater formality, feel free to act in your
own way. This will be acceptable to those around you.

(but not always) the first sentence of the paragraph. The other sentences develop
the paragraph in these ways:
