Reading Eighner and Quindlen essays, I discovered that American consumer most of the time buy stuff without need it, make the impression of many people make the choices of what they wish to have frivolously. In American society, one of the most important things is the material, what you have? how update you are with technology? Living in the United States, I had the experience to find on a side of the street good stuff like, microwaves, chairs, table, nightstand and more. A friend of mine, who…

Medieval Towns After the collapse of Rome, many cities lost their significance, power and weight. Because of the decrease of threats, war and invaders, people started moving outwards from the cities towards the countryside. However, this peace came to an end around 300 A.D.

Nevertheless, American and Indian societies have many differences when dealing with family, food, and diet. American and Indian culture both have strong religious beliefs. Many people in the Indian society share the same…

Rene Magritte’s The Therapeutist is an amazing piece of art. Rene used surrealism and some cubism to show that opening-up to others, and supporting them, can help set them free from their problems. This piece of artwork was completed in 1937. The painting protrays an image of a rusty metal bird cage, that is housing shelter for one white dove, and is holding up another on square wood plank on the outside of the cage door, which is sitting on a man’s lap. To add in, this man is holding a cane in…

Whether or not its practical, culture in our country is forever changing, knowing the different lifestyles is a necessity. Before September 9/11 racism, terrorism and prejudice were present, but never that extreme that it has become today. The Persian Gulf War has been just the beginning of a completely new epidemic in the world. In the United States military, every soldier has to be aware and learn about different cultures in the world. From Germany to Korea to the Philippines and Iraq, it…
