Cultural Awareness
7.442 billion is the number of people in the world today, but out of all of those people each is uniquely different in many ways such as gender, height, personality, sexuality, and even by their culture. Within culture there lie 4 components that make up a culture which includes values, beliefs, behaviors and norms. Each culture is different in its own way which means there is always something new to learn about other cultures that you have never experienced, and it’s important to have knowledge about other cultures because you will have a better understanding of how people do things differently around the world. Today I will be discussing Germany and many different aspects of its culture and why it’s important including geography, languages, religions etc.
The location of Germany Is exactly in the center of Europe and is the second largest country in population, coming in second after Russia. Geographically, Germany is the 7th largest in size in Europe. Most of the land is used as farmland but also has numerous rivers which were formed by retreating glaciers from the last Ice Age. This is mostly in Northern Germany while in the southern and eastern area there are many hills and mountains. All across Germany there are many man made canals made to connect waterways for commercial and local traffic. Germany used to be divided into 2 sides which were East and West, until 1898 when the two had unified and became 16 states combining the two sides. North
Culture is part of special traditions and rites of passage. In this paper I am going to write about American culture compared to German culture. To do this I interviewed Michael Heidenreich, who was born in Berlin, Germany in 1943.
Following the Second World War, Germany had split into two states: East and West Germany. East Germany fell behind economically and forced its citizenry from moving to West Germany. West Germany, conversely, had become overwhelmingly successful. West Germany had established itself as one of the world’s wealthiest nations. Finally, in 1990, full German unity succeeded in bringing both West and East Berlin together.

Located in the middle of the Europe, Germany is geo-historically between the Slavs, Roman, and the mountain and sea with high and low temperatures. The country has no single national cuisine because there are so many regions that are located in various part of climate and land. In Ursula Heinzelmann’s Beyond Bratwurst: A History of Food in Germany, there are four factors for regional cuisine in Germany. First, it is because population is never static, and when people move, so will their food preferences. The second factor was when the nation disintegrated, and small political units are formed after the fall of the Charlemagne’s kingdom. Third was the Reformation movement that encouraged the possibility for people to be different from others. The last factor is due to industrialization causing fear of the lost of naturalness and the organic food from the past.
Germany is a very interesting country with some fascinating geography.Towns names have changed over time in Germany and is difficult to find the town your ancestor lived in so long ago. As a result of many wars much of this country has changed more than once (“Germany Historical Geography”).
Germany has its beginnings in the year 843 A.D. Thanks to the Treaty of Verdun, the Carolingian Empire was divided among Charlemagne’s grandsons. This led to the creation of France and Germany. Although Germany was overseen by a monarch, tribe chieftains did most of the work to take care of and defend the country. Germany seemed to be too difficult to handle from an outsider’s point of view. As a result, the chieftains became dukes, and, once the line of Charlemagne ran out in the year 911, one of the dukes became the new king of Germany. At this point in German history, the rulers of various states began to vote for their king.
Germany, a country rich in culture and heritage, yet plagued by the fallout of World War I and World War II, has progressed to become the centerpiece of the European Union and the world’s third richest economy. The first German Empire dates back to the Roman Empire starting in the 8th century AD. During the Middle Ages the German Empire fended off many attacks against their soil from the Hungarians and the Slavs. Fighting and power struggles continued until the 1400’s, when the modern world gradually came into existence with intellectual, economic and political changes.
Today I will be talking about how Germany influenced slavery, war, peoples’ perspective on immigrants, and many more things and how it affected modern day life. I think Germany greatly affected today partly because of Hitler. I think he greatly influenced the world because of his personality. I also think that the German army was very strong making them feared, powerful, and united. I also think that Germany still has lots of power and is still feared today as a torture and powerful country. I think that many people today and maybe even countries think that Germany is a bad country. If you are one of those people, I hope today I can change your mind because Germany is a very intelligent and cool country because without them, our world would be greatly changed. I think Germans influence on slavery and many more things greatly changed people’s perspective on immigrant’s and ideas.
On the other hand, the Soviets formed the German Democratic Republic, controlling the area that was left.
