When Cultures Collide discusses the African cultures transformation due to migration to the west. Dr. Cosmas Uchenna Nwokeafor focuses mainly on the way Africans in America raise their children without the roots of their native culture. Nwokeafor is more alarmed with this occurrence because it is the root cause of the loss culture among African peoples settled in America. Nwokeafor points out that the evolving new generation are taught by their peers, schools, and media which is a direct contribution to the erosion of culture among immigrants. In a sense, he says the children are forced to assimilate to western cultures and in doing so the culture of their motherland is lost.…
The culture I chose to explore is the Hispanic culture. The term “Hispanic came from the United States federal government in the 1970’s to group a large but diverse population to connect the language and culture from a Spanish-speaking country. Hispanic is not a race but an ethnic classification (Understanding the Hispanic Culture, n.d.). The Hispanic culture has a wide ancestry which includes Spanish, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central and South American regions. Over the past thirty years the Hispanic population has had a tremendous rate of growth in the United States (Clutter, n.d.). The Hispanic culture is often misunderstood or misrepresented as having stressful financial issues or poor education. The important aspect of their culture that is being ignored is the importance of family values, which is a large part of a traditional Hispanic family.…
Precontact culture was heavily influenced by the natural terrain as the Ojibwa adapted their lifestyle to survive in a heavily forested land traversed by a network of lakes and rivers. The Ojibwa lived a semi nomadic life, moving a number of times each year in order to be close to food sources. Except for the Plains Ojibwa, who rode horses, they traveled on land by foot and wore snowshoes during the winter, transporting goods on dog sleds. The portability of Ojibwa lodging—the wigwam— enabled such moves to be made quickly and easily.(Roy,2000)…

1. There were several Freemasons who participated in the drafting of the United States Constitution. It was after the ratification of the constitution that Benjamin Franklin, while pointing to a chair, was overheard saying, "Throughout the days we have been laboring here, I have observed that sun, and wondered whether it was a rising sun or a setting sun. Now I know it was a rising sun."1 We all heard the stories growing up about the great men that founded our country and the events that helped shape American culture. This paper will tell you about the Freemasons, an agency that is shrouded in mystery, and some events they were involved in that truly helped shape our America.…
A culture, then, is by definition at least, a set of cultural objects. These objects are what we are about to explore over the next several pages. In view today are the cultures of The United States, and Mexico. Being as how I find myself living on the brink of Mexican culture, I found it appropriate to compare my home country with Mexico. There is no denying the fact that American Culture has been affected by many cultures, and the same can be said of Mexico. We will look at a brief history of both cultures, followed by an in depth comparison of the two Countries.…

A Culture is the language, values, beliefs, traditions, and customs people share and learn according to Larry Samovar and his colleagues (2007). Culture includes two different groups called in-groups which are groups that you identify yourself with and out-groups which is a group of people we view as different (Frings & Abram, 2010; Quist & Jorgensen, 2010). Examples of culture is the foods we eat, holidays we celebrate, the type of music we listen to, or even how we address someone. A co-culture is groups of people banded through beliefs, values, behaviors, and a culture inside a larger culture (Ober & Spellers, 2005). Being a member of a co-culture can be a source of pride and yet you are more likely to feel disadvantaged if you are part of a minority co-culture with would cause you to feel unfulfilled. Examples of co-cultures are age, race, religion, nationality, activities, and also economic status.…
