French Influence On American Culture

Food is a very important in France. They don’t eat fast food as much as Americans. After meals they tend to talk and linger while Americans do that mostly before they finish eating. It is said that in France they eat like kings, lords, and then servants for dinner. While in America our bigger meals are often at dinner. Dessert is really common while in America for example, I rarely eat dessert more than once a week. French drink wine often, but not to get intoxicated. They normally drink it with their meals and the purchasing of alcohol age is 18. This is different from America where consumption and purchasing power is age 21. My perspective is France sounds like it has better

Name a famous American who has greatly impacted history. Chances are both Americans and Canadians would be able to do this. However, if one were to ask for a historically famous Canadian, most Americans would not be able to do this. Even some Canadians would struggle. This is because the relationship Canada has with the United States has greatly overpowered who Canada is today. American influence on Canadian popular culture, media, and economy has overshadowed Canada in the twentieth century.

Unconsciously, we all speak different languages; we categorize the way we speak by the environment and people at which we are speaking too. Whenever a character enters an unfamiliar environment, they experiment with language to find themselves and understand reality. For immigrants, language is a means to retain one’s identity; however, as they become more assimilated in their new communities their language no longer reflects that of their identity but of their new cultural surroundings. When an immigrant, immigrates to a new country they become marginalized, they’re alienated from common cultural practices, social ritual, and scripted behavior. It’s not without intercultural communication and negotiation

See after the war the in the Treaty of Paris the British agreed to make sure that none of the French remaining in the Americas would be secure. Many of the French that had stayed behind were still residing in Quebec so for the British they had to no longer worry about their colonists, but the Frenchmen too. Most of the French's ideology didn’t match with the British. First off many were of Catholic faith and they were according to the Treaty of Paris not to lose their lands. What the British could do though is exclude them from certain practices such as voting and holding office due to their religious faith. So for many of the Frenchmen they would see new elected officials who might not fit their culture or religious ideals. This would cause some issues for them as well just like how their American colonists were experiencing at the time.

The French settled within North America during the 17th century. This started when Samuel de Champlain founded the settlement of Quebec in 1608. The settlement was owned and controlled by the Company of New France while it’s population slowly grew. The colonists of New France, traded with the Native Americans at trading posts set up along the St. Lawrence river. The Native Americans traded various fur pelts in exchange for European goods such as metal tools and weaponry. The camaraderie formed from trading resulted in two Native tribes (the Montagnais and Hurons) to become military allies with the colonists. In 1663, New France came under the control of King Louis XIV after he shutdown the Company of New France. Soon afterward, in 1681, Robert Sieur de La Salle claimed Louisiana for France.

The view of the culture during this time period was more of the same. People were in this time period were already tired of the government for many years, so the culture had been changed prior to the actual beginning of the American Revolution. It changed the political views all around the globe. It made the political leaders fear what could happen in the future as stated above. One event that could be compared to the Revolutionary War at this time period would be the French Revolution, which took place in 1789 and lasted many years(History5). This event in today’s world would be viewed as not really a normal thing. The main difference from then and now is just the style of the war. In the 1770’s the 1780’s, armies did not have nearly anything

France played an important role in the american revolution because they were sending supplies to the american in 1775. By 1763, the French debt acquired to fight in the French and Indian War. By this happening, it set off France's own fiscal crisis. The French had a plan to help the American by weakening the British and the seek revenge for the defeat in the Seven Years´ War. In 1777, American captured the British invasion amy. Benjamin Franklin served as the American ambassador to France from 1776-1785. He meet with many leading

Around the world for centuries and till this day when an individual thinks of prestige and excellence the British Empire comes to mind. Although, in present day Britain is no longer and empire its influence continues to be found around the world. Britain created many of the ideas which are central to humanity today, such as the Magna Carta, which was signed in 1215 and considered the birthplace of modern democracy. Therefore, it is understandable that Britain is a traditional oriented culture, prideful of the prestiges foundations it has been built upon.

While America was being formed it was influenced by three different cultures, early native Americans, explorers, and imperialist and the colonists. Each of them treasured different things. The native Americans cared more about nature and supernatural things, while colonials cared more about religion and unity.

When Europeans started to travel to the Americas, they had other Intensions in mind; to bring with them the Christian religion. The men that arrived there began to have relations with indigenous women, which lead to a mixing of cultures. Although the European men overpowered the indigenous people, there were some who continued to worship their own beliefs privately (Bentley, Ziegler. Pg 539)

World War I, or the Great War as it became to be known, was a global war that was predominantly centered in Europe. World War I had consequently left most Europe's workforce wounded, dying or dead. The First World War left the global economy in a poor state. The post-war period was a time to utilize resources and rebuild economies through industrialization and agriculture (Moore, 2010). Life in French and American societies significantly changed during the 1920' as both nations were on a path of post-war reconstruction, in attempts to revitalize their economies.

During Andre’s 20’s, he was very intellectual and knew much about the world’s different countries and cultures. It was during this time he learned 6 different languages. In his 30’s, Andre worked as a chemist of a beer company in Australia at which he was very good at. It was during this time period he began to learn how to speak English. Throughout his 40’s, as Andre was living in the U.S., he started learning more about the Unites State’s laws and about the different cultures within the U.S. In his 50’s, he explained that his knowledge is improving and he just keeps on learning.

1. I learned that culture heavily influences our attributions and how we perceive our culture may be viewed drastically different by another culture.

Crevecoeur portrays America as an environment where diversity fails to hinder the conformity of the people and where individual determination is abundant and necessary for growth. Crevecoeur also notes the absence of the economically, and religiously galvanized demarcation, which in Europe is extensively ample. He defines American as individualism and freedom. He says “Here man is free as he ought to be;...” (Crevecoeur, 310). Crevecoeur is implying that men are not free elsewhere, notably in Europe. He furthermore constantly mentions that Europe lacks many of the traits such as freedom, harmony among economic classes, and an individualistic ambience. He also acknowledges Americans as courageous by saying, “This renders them [Americans] more
