In roughly the years 1400-1600.Europe underwent major changes that affect the world. befor this time, people in europe knew very little about the world around them. In fact,the continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, didn't know there were two major continents.(North and South America) full of Native American civilization. That would all change from the time of 1400-1600. Three facts led to what we call The Age of Exploration; Marco Polo’s book, new technologies is ship and navigational tools, and columbia's discovery of the’’ new world’’.…
Defining what American culture is today can be somewhat difficult in today’s society. American culture is always fluctuating. The United States has traditionally been referred to as a "melting pot," welcoming people from many different countries, and hoping to find a better means of life. However, others refer it to as a “Salad”; the ingredients are there, but not everything mixes well. America is full of rich culture, but not every person living in America understands cultures besides their own.…
Summer Slininger Latino: The Changing Face of America is a documentary that dives deep into the fact that in the future the United States will face a demographic shift and Latinos will become the largest demographic group. Roxane Frias created this documentary to inform people about how the Latino population will begin to have a large influence on the United Sates future within politics and communities. This movie was an eye opener for me, as before watching this film I was oblivious to many of the facts that were spread throughout the film. When the film began to talk about how the presidential candidates need to receive the Latino vote in order to win presidency, I was a little weary on that fact.…
America in the 1950s was a change for the better. The post World War II America was changing; such as, new technology, cultures, and economic booms. This was the age that America was rising to becoming a better nation, while many Americans were moving up in life by moving to the middle class. The middle class in the 50s was growing as lower classes were fading slowly. Just after World War II America’s culture was changing.…
1. What are the main ideas of these two readings? (list at least 3) • In the American Cultural Configuration, Holmes emphasizes that American society is a culture full of fallacies and paradoxes in American logic. Some headings state a topic on how Americans believe in one way, but in reality, perform the opposite. For example, the paradox of education in America would be that while we value practical majors such as law, medicine, business, etc., they don’t really have the motivation to obtain it.…

The capitalist ways of America over time has had rules place to restricted money made decisions that had negatively affect all American citizens. The actions of America have impacted its present and ongoing future evolution.…
My understanding of freedom has changed and deepened since the first days’ classes when taking notes on my individual freedom and societal freedom. Historical changes over time and specific events and developments such as the Colonial and Native American early period have fought, articulated, and transformed the freedom many have come to take as granted. Close to the start when Christopher Columbus "discovered" America in 1776, in reality his exploration lead to the conquest and colonization to land already home to millions of people. This did however begin a pivotal moment in history that affected the Old and New World, with changes that are still current today. Along with the conquest of land the differing views of the Indians and Europeans opened different contradictory interpretations about freedom especially within religion, land use, and government.…
The United States is a very diverse country with a multicultural background. There are many ethnic backgrounds who all have their own way in which they do things, whether it’s religion or something that their culture is known for doing. However, in order to become a “full American”, one must either set aside or give up their own way of life. They are going to be expected to assimilate culturally. This means that they are expected to all share a common idea, value, or belief as everyone else in the United State.…
Parents are responsible for creating an identity in their children based on their cultures and values, until every child grow up and adopt a new identity based on their tastes and motivations. Most of the time people take their new identities according to what they see around them, different cultures, styles and / or languages. School, friendships, and different cultures bring a great help for people who are not able to find their identity.

In the United States the dominant culture is the white culture; Many people like the idea of belong to a culture that for many years been known as a dominant culture and as a powerful culture…
Over the years, people have changed, culture has changed, the world has changed. My only way of surviving throughout the years has been to evolve with the world. Adaptation has been essential. I am forced to change my beliefs with the wind to blend in with the society. Countless dear friends have come and gone; I do not even remember my first family.…

e. Macrosystem Another layer within the ecological system which includes cultural values, laws, cultural customs and resources that affect experiences and interaction of inner level of the environment is macrosystem. There are different subcultures in the United States. Urban low-income communities, rural farming communities, and suburban middle-class communities describe three different macrosystems that may differ in their subcultural beliefs about, for example, child abuse. To put it another way, research in cross-cultural studies reveals influences of the macrosystem on developing persons. Cross-cultural Research allows systematic examination of the relationships between the cultural context in which human development occurs and the behavioral…
Yes, I do. Here’s why, in the article, “Cultural Change That Sticks” Harvard Business Review, Katzenbach, Steffen, Kronley (2011) shared perspectives on how a strong organizational culture can trump an open system. In the earlier part of the 2000s, Aetna organization was struggling greatly on all fronts. Even though on the surface revenues remained steady, Aetna’s compatibility with consumers and physicians was swiftly eroding, and its status was being bludgeoned by claims and a national backlash against health maintenance organizations and managed care (which Aetna championed in the past). Simply put, Aetna was losing roughly $1 million daily, thanks to cumbersome processes and enormous overhead, as well as unwise acquisitions.…
Do people's view simply stay the same or change over time? Most likely change over time, but this is all due to culture. People have ever changing perspectives simply because of culture.

Culture is part of every society and is the basis on how people within the society react and live their lives. Every culture is subject to change in order to match the society around the world. However, there are several obstacles that are in the way of such cultural change. Through the different surroundings, a deep social connection to religion, and a lack of technology, cultures have a resistance against change. An example will be given of how it prohibits the growth in certain societies, because within each society, there are certain things that hinder the change and growth of a culture, as well as keep a culture together and unique.…
