Difference In American Culture

Have you ever wondered how High Schools are in other countries? Despite sharing some minor similarities, the differences between Nicaraguan and American High School education are clear. Such as, note-taking methods, grading system, classroom environment.

Over the past 100 years, the United States has changed the way it views other cultures including more respect, equality, and freedom for all people. As much as America has grown, has America really changed that drastically? Across the nation and world, cultural differences still exist, misunderstandings continue, and fighting persists. Recent attacks within the United States that are similar to the conflicts between the Japanese and Americans in the early 1900’s include the 9/11 attack, the bombing at the Boston Marathon, and the mass shooting in Orlando.

The news media has a habit of showing only the sensational crime stories, to draw the public to view, listen, or read their articles (Bohm & Haley, 2011). The unbalanced media coverage causes the criminal justice system a rough time while investigating, prosecuting, and convicting the subjects/defendants of their crimes, by only talking to victims or lay people willing to tell their story whether right or wrong.

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. For the most part, American culture and opinion are still created, even in the Internet age, in cities at either edge of the continent. If intellectuals do deign to look at the suburbs they assume that so much banality must be hiding something deeply

Southern culture has always been, and continues to be more socially conservative than that of the rest of America. Slavery, while framing the foundation of the Southern economy, became just as much the political and social premise of Southern identity as well. Southern society maintained a social hierarchy according to land ownership, and communities often developed strong attachment to their churches as the primary community institution. While only a third of white Southern families were slave owners, most were independent yeoman farmers. Nevertheless, the slave system spoke to the premise of the Southern social and financial structure, and for this reason, even non-slave-owners opposed any suggestions for terminating the arrangement, whether

America is a special country with heavily influenced cultures. The uniqueness that the United States carries shows its individuality, but also its unity.

The book “The Yin and Yang of American Culture A Paradox” by Eunice Yinter. The book is quite interesting to read, and learning the views of a person born and raised in Asia was very revealing. It can be difficult to determine other people's views of Americans from casual observation. Five of the virtues listed as Yang in the book seem true to me and related to each other. These virtues are: dreaming the impossible, frontier spirit, daring to be yourself, individual merit, and competitive spirit.

There were many commonalities that I saw throughout my interviews. All of us had similar views on the definition of health, illness, and suffering. I think that these are very universal words and feelings, so it is easier for us to agree on those definitions. Another similarity between the three of us was the high respect for nurses and doctors. Nurses are the nicest and most caring people that you will meet and doctors are intelligent and gentle. We may not all have traditional healers, but we all respect the people who care for your health and well being. The reason that someone might disagree with traditional healing is because they are not familiar with it. Personally I respect the traditional healers, but that does not mean everyone would.

Culture is a very vital part of the world as we know it today. There are very many different cultures all around the world. In the USA, we have a mix of all the different cultures and and family values. From the original Native Americans that inhabited America to the Middle Eastern people in Afghanistan. These people groups have brought their language, food, values, and customs with them.

I feel that these distinctions are important to Americans, only because they want to find someone to blame for economic and social issues. For instance, I have heard ignorant people state that Mexicans are the reason that Americans can’t find jobs. The reality is, that many act like they are too good to clean a toilet or do many of the jobs they are willing to do. Another ignorant statement is that Blacks are more likely to do crime, the reality is that our environment and other factors can influence someone behavior. Instead of finding a solution, we are trying to find someone to blame or prove that we are superior.

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.” This quote is from Mother Teresa, and I strongly agree with what she said. Nurses make great impacts in the lives of people everyday. I will use my nursing degree to benefit the United States of America by impacting the lives of each individual person that I care for. I feel that if I can make an impact in the people’s lives that I care for I can, in the end, help make a difference in America as a whole.

Often, I consider whether there are other living creatures around that we have not yet found. A while prior I had a thought to investigate the universe all the more intently. In light of my interest, I recently went by an irregular planet called Earth. As I landed on Earth, everything was extraordinary; it was as though I was trapped in a snow globe all my life and did not know anything past. Consequently, I felt ecstasy as I walked through a narrow pavement exploring the nature around me. Our own particular planet varies in a wide range of viewpoints. In addition, there are frequent significant differences in other living creatures. I observed a common species and examined them well; they refer to themselves as humans, more specifically Americans.

I was six year old when I was uprooted from my village in Punjab, India. I was anxious to see the promised land, as my parents had referred to it. My father left for America before I was born so he could obtain a labor job to save up money for when my mother, brother, and I would arrive. I never expected my beliefs and perspectives to change upon arrival. Growing up in a very uniform culture I had a black and white view of the world. In our culture women were responsible for being caretakers. Their job was simply to raise the children, cook, and be domesticated. The men had the role of the breadwinner and they were the ones encouraged to get an education.

them. They are a protection from outside threats. Sometimes people erect emotional walls to protect themselves from the encroachment of others upon their personal space. They are afraid that if someone enters their personal space, that someone might cause harm or dominate them. But if there is no threat from another, there is no need to erect these emotional walls. In fact there is joy in allowing someone to share one's own personal space. Sharing this space in a non-threatening way is called intimacy. It is natural for a rational, free person to long for intimacy and to rejoice in it. Intimacy requires no emotional walls, yet intimacy still implies consideration of personal borders, that is, the point at which one person leaves off and another begins. Recognizing and respecting these boundaries goes to the very heart of a person's sense of identity and self-worth.
