American culture

about the world except my parents. They guided me thorough their Nepali culture and environment in which they lived in. As a result, I have socially come to accept their culture norms and value as a person. Moving to a whole new different country called the United States, during the age of eleven, had a huge impact on my perspectives and social norms. Learning to speak a different language and “fitting in” to the new culture has shaped who I am today. As I grew older in a new society, I depended…

The shrines were actually sinks with medicine cabinets, the holy mouth men were dentists, the latipsos were hospitals and the daily ritual described above was just a man shaving his face. When looked upon from an outsider who has a distinctly established cultural lens, these normal every day practices can be misinterpreted and misrepresented.…

in his face. I've never been there, but I’m almost positive that never happens in China. If someone told me about a month ago to define my culture in detail I wouldn't know what to tell them. Now that I know more on the subject I can answer, my culture is American culture but not completely the American culture. I have come to notice that the American culture is very diverse and different than some may think, for instance, if you live on the west coast of America your life and daily routine…

Essentials of Sociology states that culture is “the language, beliefs, values, norms, and even material objects passed on from generation to generation.” (Henslin 40) The United States is big on American culture.

Some countries are not a majorly discussed country in the news in the United States. There are several others that could be mentioned more, as well. Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, and Sweden are just a few that we rarely hear anything about in our media.

Arab, Japanese, and American Cultures The world is full of different nations and cultures. Some cultures are similar and some are completely different. Two of the cultures I would like to talk about a little bit more is the Arab culture and the Japanese culture. Both cultures are very proud of their heritage and have a long history to look back at. However, there are some significant differences as well. When people hear the word “Arab”, the first thing that usually pops up in their head is…
