AMERICAN CULTURE (83)
rodolpho: Like I said in another thread I always defended american culture here in Holland.
Cos many arrogant europeans say AMERICA HAS NO CULTURE.
So I would like to hear from americans themselves what they love about their culture.
So people like me in Europe are better able to defend your position here.
Thanks in advance for positive comments.
I wont be very gentle in this thread to negative american slander, although you will be free to do so also if you cant help yourselves.

Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate") is a term that has different meanings.
1 excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as high culture
2 an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning
3 the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group.
Other people can say somethings better then me and more detailed.

You see culture to me is a way of life that is created over many many generations, a lifestyle that varies not just by country but by region within a country, so the reason that Europeans appear to have an arrogant view on American culture is because America is still baby historically when compared to Europe.
They have their traditions, but even those are in some way associated with those brought over from European countries
I guess the most worldwide cultural identity created by America would be a big tubby old man in a red suit white beard and black boots, who was designed by Coka Cola and called Father Christmas

You wrote America... I can agree with you, there are a very large number of very rich cultures in America, North American, Central America and South America. All different all very rich.
Where would you like to start from?
I don't much about North America, but I know a few things about South America and Central America. Having in mind Brazilian they own my mother language, not us in Portugal anymore. We are 10 millions and they are more then 200 millions.

Who's to say what "Culture" is? Is it art? If so, what is art?? Is it pre-Colombian sculpure? Is it cave drawings from N.America? Is it Boticelli? What is music? Is it Springsteen? Mozart? Morandi? Opera or Klesmer? Does a scale contain 8 tones or 10? Culture is the realm of those who embrace it so although we like our beer cold and Cokes with ice...we do have a culture.

America is my home, I was born and raised here. Nope It does not always go smoothly here, but it is all I got.
I have the right here to basically do as I please as long as I do not hurt another individual. I could get on a soap box right now, with a bull horn somewhere, and as long as people are not hurt I could say what I want.
We are like a family, dysfunctional sometmes, but if there is a crisis, and one of us find ourselves in it. Other Americans that we do not even know will come to our AID. For instance 9/11 or hurricane Katrina.
All Americans do not agree with the way our government is run, and speak out about it. That is also another plus about being American, we can do that.
And last but not least America is my country, and it is the only one I got. So I will not bash America. JMHO

I am with you.
And language. Culture is everything an human being learns in a society.
So regarding languages: english, french, spanish, portuguese and how many indian languages??? I don't know. And the languages of all the migrating communities in America, from Alasca to Patagonia...
We can be in this Tread until... as leats 2010... but the way there are different calendars in America...
