Puritanism is often compared to Western European culture since America was largely founded on the exportation of Puritans from Europe. Puritans then maintained their relevance by making up the vanguard of frontier towns in the push West. Their motivation for that was that fleeing the non-Puritan "sinners" who made up second wave settlers who moved into Puritan towns. Despite that mobility, or their opinions of the later settlers, the Puritans undeniably left their mark in the towns they had originated. When making the comparison of American and Western European culture, it is commonly accepted that Americans are more reserved in their media content. For example, there can be much more nudity in advertisement in France than America. This disparity is typically attributed to the Puritan influence. The idea of Puritans living through religion and government has had a tremendous impact on American society nearly 4,000 years later.

The environmental makeup of the colonies was crucial in the attraction of English subcultures to America and its specific regions. Farmers had no interest or need to go to rocky New England, so consequently they settled in the “bread colonies” of the Middle Atlantic, which were full of rich topsoil and plentiful access to waterways for irrigation and the inexpensive exchange and transportations of goods. Similarly, though Virginia’s soil was not ideal for grains it was exquisite for the production of Europe’s new addiction, tobacco. Tobacco, a cheap man’s crop, was easy money, for it was in high demand and not as expensive to produce as sugar, and thus was enticing for the second sons of England, whom were unable to inherit much of value from

Politics has always been closely related to the transformations of architecture styles. The transition of one region’s political dynamics will certainly influence the exterior forms and the structural connotations of the symbolic buildings. Different kind of political changes will also result different kind of architectural stylistic shift. The independence of Turkey as a new nation and the colonization of India by the British empire reflected the influence of political changes in architecture and how new architecture style is introduced during such periods.

There are many known periods that we know lead to the development of the modern era and the Anglo-Saxon period is the oldest known period of time that had a complex culture with stable government, art and literature. This period is a time filled with great advancements and discoveries in government, religion, literature, and art.

Culture is something that we all know to be very diverse a crossed the entire world and is something that carries on through generations of families. When we think about the American culture we think about the American flag, the English language, and many other things we may take for granted.

While walking throughout the halls at Fresno State, one may not realize the diversity of culture among the student body. There are many international students that attend Fresno State, and it is more common than students may think. I had the opportunity to interview one of these international students, who traveled very far from her home country in order to attend school in the United States.

England is located within the United Kingdom, and is also referred to as Great Britain. According to Countries and

Because my neighbor is considered suburban it often gets a bad rep. A lot of people think that suburbs are boring and aren't interesting. As this suggests, the problem is also cultural.

If intellectuals do deign to look at the suburbs they assume that so much banality must be hiding something deeply

The Anglo-Saxon period was a time around 410 AD where settlers from Modern Germany invaded Britain after the failure of the Roman Empire. Anglo-Saxon warriors were hired to preserve the Roman way of life but decided the land was good for themselves. Therefore, Britain became their home. Anglo-Saxons contributed greatly to the foundations of Britain by spreading their culture in ways of their language, literature, religion and traditions in law and government. They were referred to as the “First Englishmen” and left the strongest reminder of their presence in ways such as the Exeter Book. The Exeter Book was literature that expressed all the ways and values of the Anglo-Saxon people. “The seafarer”, “the wanderer”, and “the wife's lament” being part of the Exeter book expressed the central theme of isolationism.
