Thanksgiving, a holiday deeply rooted in American culture, is celebrated in accordance with the applicable tradition and rituals. Closely related to the tradition of first immigrants, Thanksgiving does not undergo any fashions and fluctuations. Thanksgiving Turkey has to be big ( 19 lbs) to feed 20 people and to provide much more food than during the regular meal (Friends). Thanksgiving dinner without turkey and typical dishes does not exist, like “4th July with no pie”(Friends). By consuming and celebrating food, people show their appreciation for all they achieved due to their social and national affiliation.…
First, white civil servants conducted semi-diplomatic relations with Native American delegates, offering American material goods to exact payments of vast territory that would ameliorate the inconvenient differences between white and native social structures. Secondly, indigenous translators humored white functionaries to gain prestige and influence through translation by preserving indigenous linguistic traditions. Thirdly, Southern slaves reworked their presence within spiritual spaces assigned to them by their white masters to layer African cosmology over Christian fundamentals and counter-hegemonically resist the white supremacy of slave society imperialism. As history shows, white hollow diplomacy, indigenous acts within the Eurocentric…
“It is not our differences that divide us, it is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences,” said Audre Lorde, a Caribbean-American writer, and civil rights activist. In this quote she is saying that if we just agreed that we are different, and we won’t alway get along, then the world would be a more peaceful place. Even in today’s society people are pulled apart from others because of their differences. Even so the society today is better than it was during times like America in the 1930’s, on the Indian reservations, and in Europe between Jews and Christians.…
A cultural profile can be defined as oral traditions and expressions, performing arts; social gatherings, rituals and traditions knowledge and beliefs about nature and the universe; and craftsmanship. My cultural profile was very unclear to me before starting this assignment. After doing some research and self-inspection, I would classify myself as belonging to modern teenage/young adult American culture. Two very broad cultures I’d like to compare with my own are Baptist Christian culture and Native American culture. However, within every culture there are many different individuals that react to people of different cultures in varying ways, and there is no set behavior that every member conforms to so making comparisons about myself and my…
Thanksgiving Myths There are many Thanksgiving myths but I’m here to talk to you about two of them. The first one is “Native Americans wore complicated headdresses.” Well the feathery headdresses you are thinking of are barely worn only on special occasions.…
“ Distinguishing Cultures” For many people culture is about traditions, beliefs, values and cuisine. All cultures are defined by where they come from, what they eat, and their way of living. The Hispanic and American culture are two of the most diverse among us. Each culture is unique in their own way while they all share one strong similarity.…
To understand what exactly led to the eventual fighting between the Native Americans and European settlers, one must first learn the cultural differences between them. While, some Native American’s learned to “coexist” with new foreign settlers trading and interacting with them, other natives did not like these invaders and were eventually destroyed, usually by force. These new Europeans tried to bring their new way of life to the natives while these people just wanted to maintain their traditional and natural way of life. Native Americans wanted to live for their family, religion and becoming one with nature. They believed that all things were connected spiritually and that their actions could directly influence nature around them.…
Just before the American Revolution, which began roughly in 1765 and ended in 1783, the attitudes of many colonists were those of dissatisfaction and disdain for the traditional British government. These would exacerbate future relations with Great Britain, fueling dissent. The earliest component of these anti-British sentiments was the French and Indian War. The war gave the colonists their first feeling of any political unity apart from Britain. Since it was the first war where the British fought alongside the colonists, it outlined many of the cultural differences that had developed between the colonists and the British.…
round 1789-1837, European settlers began creating changed to the new land to build a nation. However, these changes were made not in considerate of American Indians who were on the land before their arrival. Therefore, a more fair proposal for building the new nation would be to shared the land and providing a hand to help benefit one another; the Europeans can educated the Indians schoolwise and the Indians can help the Europeans become more one with the nature.’ According to Stewart Udall in The Land Wisdom of the Indians, the two groups had different concepts of landownership.…
The culture I chose to differentiate is African American with Native American. Each group has had their unique languages, familial relationships, social relations, music and dance traditions; they have hatred many shared experiences over the past 400 years. African American culture intertwines with various other cultures like American and Indian. What is often referred to as the Native American population is comprised of over 500 unique tribes African American people in America are about 12% of the population or roughly 40 million people (Jacob 2015). African Americans brought with them musical instruments, intricate rhythms, and unique song styles that sometimes influence pop music.…
The first humans in America arrived trough the Bering Strait. The Bering Strait was an all-ice bridge which formed between Alaska and Siberia approximately 10,000 years ago. Scientist called those people “Native Americans”. The Native Americans developed their own living and surviving techniques according to the climate and the resources they had near them. The development of agriculture began 3,000 years B.C. in Central Mexico with the Indian corn or Maiz, and the semi-nomadic hunter societies highly increased.…
1. You may ask what McDonaldization is. McDonaldization is defined as, “the process by which the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as the rest of the world.” This paper will discuss two different cafes which conduct the same matter of business, however one business conducts more like the principles of “McDonaldization” compared to the other business which is a local café in Dubuque that is more traditional (has a less emphasis on the formal rationality). So my one McDonaldizated café is “Starbucks” and my other café is the “Rubix.”…
The political, economic, and religious systems of the Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans created distinct societies based on the interactions experienced by each one. While there were visible differences, the groups also shared many similarities. The diverse societies learned to adapt to the environments around them and in doing so built civilizations very unique from each other. The advancements they made also led to unavoidable similarities as they began to interact with their neighbors. When Europe came into contact with the two groups, it led to a series of events that greatly impacted the systems, opening a new world to the three and altering them for better or worse.…
For the last several years, my family has been coming to my house for Thanksgiving dinner. For a long time, my parents would host, but something changed a couple of years ago, and now everyone prefers my meal over anything else. What changed? I started frying my turkeys, that’s what. For many households, the idea of frying a turkey for the holiday seems a bit tacky, but I assure you that it’s the best way to go.…
