Searching back to its beginnings, religion has a profound impact on cultural identity through the presence of deep and ancient roots that connect a people to their glorious, memorable and often idealized histories. By equating a given religion with the success of a society often times national pride and religious pride become intertwined. Though this manifests itself differently in each country, throughout all four surveyed this attribute seemed to be present.

Culture is what makes every country in the world unique; by sharing common symbols, language, values and norm. For instance, I born in Libya and have lived in USA for 3 years, culture is not necessarily related to a nationality. Rather, culture is leaned. Therefore, I acquired both Libyan and American cultures by learning language, traditions, and values. So, I could able to see and comprehend the diversity between them. A comparison of Libya and USA will reveal that both are two distinctive countries with variety of differences regarding to emphasize individuals or groups, religious festivals, and food.

One of the most positive things about being an American is the ability to interact in “the melting pot” of various cultures all around. While most of us obviously identify with our own specific culture, the variety within our society is extremely diverse, allowing intercultural communication and presents a learning experience for those who are able to communicate and with one another. When observing and interacting with cultures other than my own, I am able to identify some similarities, as well as the differences from their culture to mine. Throughout this semester we have learned so many things about different cultures and worldviews, I have begun to learn a lot more about myself and my personal religious views. I have never followed a religious practice on my own choice, but it is encouraging to see how it positively impacts others in my life.

Seeking tradition and spirituality has always been prime through the course of this life. Believing and finding truths of the spirt realm’s unknown gives comfort while living. With so many people coming and settling in America, there begins to be a shift of different religions and spiritual practices emerging. America's founders established a civilization that would embrace the differences that countless cultures would bring to the United States. But here lies the challenges with this concept. It has been hard even in the late 1800s when the Native Americans did not want to conform to new Christianity; it created a rift that is still president here today with not only the natives but different cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

There are one hundred and ninety six countries on Earth. But one stands out greater than others, only one is known by every single country on the planet. One country stands out, not because its better, not because its worse, but because it is a sanctuary.

The Land of a your Viking Future Iceland and America, are two nations that are relatively close neighbors. One a country of former Vikings and the other a country founded on the concept of individualism and the dream that each man can earn what he’s worth that no one is oppressed and all are treated equally no matter what. The values, culture, and economy of these two country are somewhat the same and vastly different at the same time. In this augmentative essay it is my hope to convince people Iceland is better than the U.S. The United States of America, a name that brings to mind a land where anyone can make their fortune and have a good life.

One of the contrasts in their culture is that they believe in everything should be the same, sameness(99). In my culture, we believe everyone should be unique, and have their own opinion. Another contrast is that they got rid of different weather, Climate Control, so that way sameness is all over(106). In my culture, there is no climate control, we have so many different types of weather conditions. Another difference between our cultures are that they don’t believe in different colors because of sameness(114). In my culture, there are all sorts of different colors because of the uniqueness. Another contrast is that they believe that not having a choice is safer than having a choice(124). The next contrast with difference in religion is that they believe that people aren’t allowed to own books because people would have different thoughts and opinions(128). In my culture books are allowed, and encouraged. The last contrast is that love isn’t allowed in The Giver’s community of sameness(157). In my culture love is allowed and most people fall in

This paper will focus on the similarities and differences in cultures and how it relates to human resilience, struggles and faith. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the effects that culture, race, and class have on human behaviors and beliefs. The cross culture countries of analysis will be Guyana and Portugal which are situated at two opposite ends of the world. One major difference is Guyana, which is located in South America and Portugal in Southwestern Europe. Which makes this comparison even more compelling?

For cultures to coexist peacefully, socially and economically, it is extremely beneficial to understand the core beliefs that exist within those cultures. As already explained, the strong influence that origin stories have on their respective cultures, explains the unique lifestyle that may be diverse and rich in how people groups determine what their culture will look like and represent. A coming together of two cultures with opposing or different cultural heritages, can create more conflict and misunderstanding, given the sensitive nature of their belief system especially when an aspect of the divine or spiritual nature of their heritage is desecrated.

Peace...Prosperity...Unity. Throughout the modern world, there are a myriad of cultures that can be distinguished by their unique qualities. Due to differences, constant clashes between societies have plagued the world for generations. The idea of peace is very appealing, but is very difficult to attain due to ethnocentric views about different cultures. After reading the book, “ World Peace, A Blind Wife and Gecko’s Tail” by David Khorram, I have come to realize that it has impacted my life significantly. For example, I am now aware that the book is a compilation of articles, which David Khorram had written in previous years, that illustrate island living and spirituality.

Religious identity can come in two forms, one from a nation of people all believing in the same values and another from the personal view of each individual or family within that nation. In a family or local community sense, it ties the smaller community together against its neighbouring ethnicities. It provides a feeling of togetherness and strength for the society. It is the basis for 'ethnic honour: the excellence of one's own customs and the inferiority of alien ones' (Weber, cited in Bruce 1996, p. 96). Religious identity brings great pride and hope to the citizens of any particular society and lends itself towards social cohesion (Browne 2005).
