    Clothing In The Decade Of The 1910s And 1920's

    Overall, I believe the decade of the 1910s and 1920s are quite interesting because many things occurred that left a mark in history. For example, the clothing is something that we will no longer see because it is out of trend. Also, events like World War I, The Treaty Versailles and the Titanic will be events that have some affect towards the recreation and leisure activity of some people because it is something that had a significant impact on society. During this era, I was able to decide, which leisure and recreational activity were most interesting to me, which I was able to discover activities that are commonly seen more in today's time.…

    Domestic Manners of the Americans

    Trollope’s background gave her deep respect and reverence for religious practices but not for the dramatic and enthusiastic Evangelicalism which she encountered in America. She constantly compared the chaos and oddities of American religious practices with the more refined state of the Established Church of England. She believed it strange “that “the most intelligent people in the world” should prefer such a religion as this, to a form established by the wisdom and piety of the ablest and best among the erring sons of men.” (99) In the opinion of Trollope, American religious practices were the most objectionable difference between the Americans and the English because their ways and environments didn’t live up to Trollope’s high expectations.…

    American Fashion Fads of the Twentieth Century

    A fad, or craze, becomes popular in a culture relatively quickly, but also loses its popularity dramatically. A fad that remains for a significant amount of time typically loses its significance in current popular culture as it evolves and becomes accepted into a society 's everyday culture. In the past hundred years, fashion fads have been characterized by politics, popular movies, music and famous celebrities. Most fads just wither and quickly fad away, but do they quietly wait to be resurrected by another generation.…

    Conformity To American Culture

    I see where you're coming from, Anastasia. There are definitely some people who conform a majority percent of their way of living to American culture based on pure facts for survival. As a result of this conformity, they may lose that sense of where they originally came from. However, there are still a lot of people who still have close ties to their culture or just have developed a new distinctive culture, which is why I say where more of a salad bowl. Some people say we're a combination of both, though. So, American culture just may be what one of our fellow classmates said, a soup and salad deal.…

    Domestic and Foreign Perceptions of American Culture

    The American culture is comprised of many customs that have come from older cultures. Our history, religions, food and literature all have been inspired by Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan and China, amongst others. I believe that these elder countries understand the American culture in some degree, yet tend to judge us in ways we do not understand. It is important that we as Americans educate ourselves in the older ways, just as it is for other cultures to try and educate themselves in our ever-changing ways.…
