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.

The United States of America was extremely successful in trailblazing a new path for the growth and development of their own country, and set out to increase their power by attempting to colonize other countries and becoming allies with other foreign countries. To achieve such allies, the US would often overthrow existing governments to place a more “suitable” candidate who essentially acted as a puppet for the US.

With the increase and spread of the mass media, the United States was the first to undertake researches and empirical studies on the effects of the media, and with time the pursuit became globalized. These effects were studied from different perspectives; some studies viewed the fact that the ownership of the media by only a few minorities is a problem in itself (kellner, 1). Many critics have also condemned the internationalization of the American film and television and its influence on the creation of hegemony over the world cultures lead and controlled by the American culture. The media effect was also studied in terms of culture creation, impact on morality, violence representation, and its effect on racial, ethnic and gender representations

America's culture has overwhelmingly changed – movies, art, and politics – therefore sparking a debate on whether these changes are positive, and do these changes influence our lives? With this growing debate, some great works have adapted and allow the audience to make a conscious decision in his or her everyday life.

While reading these two chapters I found myself intrigued in the way that other cultures have influenced early and current American music. This comes to show that sometimes we do not take into consideration on how and where artist get their inspiration from when they perform or create music. We also sometimes do not realize that other people like music that we do not like, but forget to take into consideration where they come from and what has influenced them to like the music that we do not like.

American culture refers to the traditions and practices of the people of the United States. Culture comprises of the nature of buildings, religion, music language and marriage. The population of the United States is more than 320 million people making it the most culturally diverse country in the globe. Books such as Crabgrass Frontier, Manifest Destination and Muscular Christianity are important sources of information about American culture. This paper is a reflection on the methods that these books use in providing information about the evolution of the US culture. The paper examines the relationship between these three sources and ways they challenge or inform an understanding of the American society during the late 19th and early 20th century.
