military power. As a result, they tend to believe they have the final say and that their cultures are predominant and cannot be challenged or compared to any other. According to Linton (1937), Americans have borrowed a lot from other nations especially from the Asia continent. However, while most of their culture is borrowed from other western cultures, it is them that modifies and make their inherited culture more dominant and accepted.

Within Canada, not many people solely identify as Canadian and most immigrants wish to hyphenate their “label” in order to maintain their ethnicity.

North America. The ethnographic analysis describing the rituals of the Nacirema was written by Horace Miner and actually describes American culture in the 1950s. The article illustrates how anthropologists view and describe other cultures. By turning the analysis on our very own culture, we see how language can influence the reader’s perception of that culture.
