How Does Western Culture Influence American Culture

Influences of American Culture When you hear the words American Culture what to do tend to think about? When I hear the words American Culture I tend to think about society, and how it has influenced my life. Society itself is influenced by the people and the culture within it. When actors or actresses dress differently or try something new, other people will do the same thing. When you have a culture that heavily populates an area, that culture will be heavenly influenced in that area. There may be restaurants or stores that will carry the cultures products. Therefore, Americans do not realize that American Culture impacts them every day. When they go shopping for new clothes at the store that a friend posted about on their Snapchat and when they decided to try something new to eat at a new restaurant they found on Yelp. These are just a few of the ways that American culture impacts Americans but, there are three things that impact American Culture the most. Pop Culture, Technology, and Family Constructs. I believe these topics highlight American Culture.

American was dominated by the image of the melting pot that “melts up” all race differences and cultures to become on American culture. The ideas of multiculturalism started at the end of the nineteenth century and turned into the concept of cultural pluralism that defined the nation as a mixture of diverse ethnicities with different cultural backgrounds, all co-existing and contributing to the new nation.

The American culture is define to everyone in their own way. Everyone grows up differently in a particular community that shares the same languages, values, rules, and customs. The American Culture on that is consider to be a “melting pot”, because of all the different cultures that reside inside of it making it so diverse. Race in this country has never been a great topic throughout history.

Baseball as a Piece of American Culture American culture is in my opinion a mixture of all cultures in the world. In some states, minorities have become majorities because of the huge masses that have immigrated there. Those groups have integrated their own customs to Americans and at the same time, have made American customs part of their lives. In that enormous alloy called Americans, you can meet diverse kinds of persons, languages, foods and words. At the same time, specific traits make this culture as any other unique.

The United States is an immense country, with many residents and citizens descending from immigrants who have influenced many customs, traditions, behaviors and ways of life. Unlike many old world nations, the United States does not have a homogenous population or a traditional homeland. However, American culture can be interpreted as being largely based in Western Europe with influences from the Native Indians, Africans, Asians, and elsewhere.

The early European explorers had a profound impact on the population and culture of early America. The moment that Christopher Columbus set foot on one of the Islands of the Bahamas, the world would drastically change for many of the Native Americans. The Aztec people of central and South America, or Mesoamerica, had a very advanced and complex society that they established in approximately 1428, that would undergo a transformation and descent from dominance that they could never have imagined. The arrival of the Spanish conquistadors and Christianity were the single greatest contributions to the fall of the Aztec Empire and the cultural transformation that occurred in the 1500s. This in turn led to the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the eventual transformation to the world as we know it now.

The culture of the United States of America is chiefly of European culture, but it is influenced by many other cultures as well. In addition to Native Americans who were already living on the continent, the population of the United States was built on immigration from other countries. Since so many different kinds of people immigrated to the United States, America is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world.

Over the past several centuries the world has changed in a countless number of ways. From colonialism to slavery, the industrial revolution to the World Wars, and the modern day technological boom, America in particular has often been right in the middle of all of the transformations. Amongst these changes certain movements also began to rise up especially in the arts, sciences, and politics.

The early modern Atlantic world was a culturally diverse place where many different civilizations of different descent clashed together to make their own impact on each other whether it be through colonization, religion, or even slavery.
