The cultures between the Swedish and the Hmong people follow a similar path of struggle, conforming, and success. The Swedish people struggled from famine and needed a place to go to where jobs were abundant. While the Hmong also struggled from war and the after effects of war. These struggles brought a group of people with different cultures to one country, America. America became a place of refuge and a place to prosper. Many of the people succeeded in getting high paying jobs and would help America evolve into a better place. Although, this succession gave people a new hope, there are still discrimination within the country because of differences of culture and looks.
Cultural Difference between Mexicans and Americans While Texas leader Stephen Austin initially had no contempt toward Mexicans, the Anglo-American citizens in the area did. The American Texans of the 1800’s defined Mexicans as “a race alien to everything that Americans held dear” (De Leon 4). This sentiment would serve as the primary catalyst to the Texas secession from Mexico. When Austin began colonizing the area, he envisioned a place in which Anglo-Americans and Tejanos, Mexicans living in Texas, could live together. Eventually, though, the public opinions of North American settlers in the territory and in Washington would make him realize that the goal of unity between the two groups was impossible.

United States and Russia are approximately equivalent, they are both enormous countries although they have some similarities on their type of government for example on military power and voting age.

In recent times, it has become more generally acknowledged that cultural diversity in the backgrounds of communicators contributes to differences in the patterns of communication behavior. People in different parts of the world exhibit various cultural differences. They portray unique interaction patterns depending on the nature of their national culture. As a result, several studies have been conducted by researchers to ascertain the impact of differences in cross-border culture. These differences have a great influence on the various aspects of the social-cultural dimensions of the peoples’ lives. Cross-cultural communication symbolizes a bridge between interpersonal and cultural dimensions of communication systems. Social interaction with people from different cultural backgrounds actually expands the individuals’ perspective of the world. It challenges some of the formerly held discrimination about people from other parts of the world.
There is something that is special to each and every country. Something that is embedded in the roots of the past and continues to show its face even now. That thing, is culture.
When it comes to Culture America has no definite culture other than what the europeans initially made it. America itself has a vast array of diverse cultures co residing as one unit. In story “Coming of Age in the Dawnland” by Charles C. Mann,we learned how the Europeans came to America and adapted a lot of
As we all know, all cultures have their own unique ways that separate them from each other. For example, Armenian culture and American culture. They are two completely different cultures that have different traditions, music, and standards from each other. Although they are unlike, they share many of the same values. Growing up in Armenian culture you are taught to be very family oriented whereas living as an American you spend most of your time focused on work.
Correspondingly, Europeans were also persuaded to explore and settle in the North America because of the multitude of differences between them. Unlike the New World, Europe was composed of large, yet close together countries. These nations each had their own sophisticated government; While each tribe had their own way of life, they did not have written laws or a form of currency. In contrast to North America’s sparse inhabitants, European countries encompassed high population densities as well. Similarly, the land in the New World was significantly different than the land in Europe. North America’s terrain was rich in precious metals and resources, whereas the Old World’s land had been tapped out. In addition, Europe philosophy was that the
Spanish, Hispanic, and Latin American cultures vary from American culture. Many of these cultural differences revolve around everyday life, oddities, special occasions, and food.Whether they be about strong family bonds, a memorial island in the backwoods of Mexico, wedding traditions, or meal-times, these cultural aspects help make every nationality unique. On the whole, life in Spanish speaking countries operates differently than in America.
The country of Poland historically experienced a variety of dependency on countries that conquered them. As the nation struggled for independence, the traditional culture and foods adapted influence on the other controlling nations. Through history Poland was overtaken by a variety of countries which influenced the culture and food traditions. Poland independence was significantly re established much like how the modern student and government restriction change the economy in America today. “College students’ ideas about food are embedded in the value system of U.S. society. Unlike non capitalist societies where food exchanges reduce social distance and solidify relationships” (Counihan 113) The influence of war and economic status change of
Even though the United States and Mexico share a common border the difference in culture between the two is significant. cultural Mexico has a very different history than the United States, and therefore is different in many ways. Both countries differ from equality/inequality, collectivism/individualism, gender roles, uncertainty avoidance, indulgence, restrains, and power distance index. In comparison with the United States, Mexico 's culture is more family-oriented and family is their first priority. Their children are celebrated, sheltered and wives fulfill domestic roles. Mexico places more importance on well-defined power and authority structures in organizations, and prefers more certainty and predictability. In the United States,
The first theme of the four themes is Global Interrelatedness can be used on how The United States and Britain formed an alliance to stop Adolf Hitler and his axis countries. I think this is Global Interrelatedness because it is connecting both countries which is what Global Interrelatedness is about it is about connecting cultures through things like trade and pacts(Findley & Rothney,2011). The United States and Britain making a pact shows them working together during World War II. This pact is also still today so this has also made Britain and the United States permanent allies(Halsy & Friedman, 1983). Another example of Global Interrelatedness is Adolf Hitlers far reaching allies from Japan and Italy.
Since 1991, Somalia has been fighting a civil war (11). Poverty, war zones, collapse of government and death fills Somalia and their people every day. The Somali people realized they needed to flee in order to survive and thrive. In 1992, American started giving out refugee visas and the United States started to flood with refugees. An estimated 1.1 million people have left the county with 150,000 in the United States and the highest population in Minnesota and the majority of them congregating to the Twin Cities area (Minneapolis and St. Paul) (10). The appeal to Minnesota for East Africans may seem bizarre due to the radical climate difference, but most recognized the liberal state as offering better education, work force and communities.
