Also, the Inuit people wore big heavy coats and pants so they didn't freeze in behalf of the cold weather.The two groups obviously

Initially, there are many similarities that are valued in Martin’s and Dachina’s Native American traditions. Mainly, both traditions are about the topic of life and how Martin and Dachina have to go through a process in order to enter adulthood. Martin and Dachina learn how to become mature by accepting to keep their cultures alive and willing to do the responsibilities that each of their traditions provide. For example, the author in “The Medicine Bag” states, “Thank you, Grandpa,” I said softly and left with the bag in my hands. That night Mom and Dad took Grandpa to the hospital. Two weeks later I stood alone on the lonely prairie of the reservation and put the sacred sage in my bag.” This shows how Martin agreed to complete his duty of putting the sacred sage into his medicine bag, making him responsible. Besides, Great Grandpa had a difficult journey, which made Martin respect him and not put down the medicine bag. Similarly, Dachina didn’t reject her family’s beliefs, since she completed the ritual and also didn’t seem careless. Moreover, both traditions are alike because they provided Martin and Dachina with

Over the course of history, South Asians have been mistreated and undermined within American society. This is especially evident after the terror attacks of 9/11 in which Americans shunned its South Asian Population, and reduced them to devastating stereotypes. This has created tension and hostility within the South Asian community, thus pressuring them to being more Americanized, and further creating a fixation towards becoming more white. The obsession with American culture has caused many to conform, leaving behind cultural and religious parts of their identities. It is necessary to explore the history behind the mistreatment of South Asians to understand why the change in identity such as those portrayed with Changez in The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Amir in Disgraced have occurred. These main characters of South Asian descent make it is clear that the American dream for immigrants creates a constant struggle between national and transnational identities as racism and hostility are being thrust upon them by American society.

Aztec and African are two distinctive cultures with many differences. The two cultures are on different continents that are far away from each other, and there is a wide difference between the two cultures. The beliefs and practices of the people are different in both of these cultures. However, as the world becomes more global, and as people become more exposed to different cultures, the differences between them seem to be narrowing.

In hope to "re-gain" status and avoid from being further insulted, divorce was the path Liang Heng's father chose to take. However, even after the divorce, the Liang family still endured criticism because once branded, no matter what, they would always be criticized. One of the ways to gain social status was to marry into a family who was part of a party or of a high social status. So after divorcing his wife for purely political reasons, Liang Heng's father married a woman who was both a party member and a high ranking cadre in the a factory. This marriage was obviously based on Liang Heng's fathers' desperate need to gain social status rather than out of love. Marriage was also based on convenience to both partners. When Liang Heng's father married for the third time it was because he needed someone who could take care of the house and the children and in turn the woman had wanted to leave the village she was living in and live in the city residence where so many goods were available, however the process to transfer her teaching job from the village to the city was complicated. So she married to Liang Heng's father which Liang suspected in hope to move to the city easily.

Indian cultures shared many similarities, while also each being unique. First off, all natives were not exposed to Old World animals, food, culture and germs. Which would make their initial contact much more devastating. For example, they all inhabited the Americas, however they spanned from the Andes of Peru to the Arctic of Northern Canada. These geographic differences shaped how the cultures developed and made each of them unique. For example, the mayans developed sophistic agricultural practices and developed robust sprawling cities and society due to the cultivation of maize. Meanwhile, the tribes of the northeast where more hunter and gatherer orientated and had smaller villages with some agriculture. These geographic differences separates all Indian Cultures while, they all have similar origins.

There are several cultural factors that influenced both Africa and the Americas such as weaponry, technological advancements, medical and religious.
