American Culture: Traditions and Customs of the United States
American culture encompasses the customs and traditions of the United
States. "Culture encompasses religion, food, what they wear, how they wear
it, our language, marriage, music, what they believe is right or wrong,
how they sit at the table, how they greet visitors, how they behave with loved
ones, and a million other things......
The United States is the third largest country in the word with a population of more than 320 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Because of this, the United States is one of the most culturally
diverse countries in the world. Nearly every region of the world has
influenced American culture, as it is a country of immigrants, most
notably the English who colonized the country beginning in the early
1600s. U.S. culture has also been shaped by the cultures of Native
Americans, Latin Americans, Africans and Asians.
The United States is sometimes described as a "melting pot"
in which different cultures have contributed their own distinct
"flavors" to American culture. Just as cultures from around the world
have influenced American culture, today American culture influences the
world. The term Western culture often refers broadly to the cultures of
the United States and Europe.
As a nation of immigrants, the United States has been influenced by many cultures.

The way people "melt" in the United States differs. "Different groups
of immigrants integrate in different ways," De Rossi told Live Science.
"For example, in the United States, Catholic Spanish-speaking
communities might keep their language and other cultural family
traditions, but are integrated in the urban community and have embraced
the American way of life in many other ways."
The Northeast, South, Midwest, Southeast and Western regions of the
United States all have distinct traditions and customs. Here is a brief
overview of the culture of the United States.
Language
There is no official language of the United States, according to the U.S. government.
While almost every language in the world is spoken in the United
States, Spanish, Chinese, French and German are among the most
frequently spoken non-English languages. Ninety percent of the U.S.
population speaks and understands at least some English, and most
official business is concted in English.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that more than 300 languages are
spoken in the United States. The bureau divides those languages into four categories:
Spanish; other Indo-European languages, which includes German, Yiddish,
Swedish, French, Italian, Russian, Polish, Hindi, Punjabi, Greek and
several others; Asian and Pacific Island languages, including Chinese,
Korean, Japanese, Thai, Tamil and more; and "all other languages," which
is a category for languages that didn't fit into the first three
categories, such as Hungarian, Arabic, Hebrew, languages of Africa and
languages of native people of North, Central and South America.
Religion
Nearly every known religion is practiced in the United States, which was founded on the basis of religious freedom. About 83 percent of Americans identify themselves as Christians, according to an ABC poll, while 13 percent replied that they had no religion at all. Another poll in 2012
reported similar findings. It also found that Judaism is the second
most-identified religious affiliation, at about 1.7 percent of the
population. Only 0.6 percent of respondents identified as Muslim.
American style
Clothing styles vary by social status, region, occupation and climate.
Jeans, sneakers, baseball caps, cowboy hats and boots are some items of
clothing that are closely associated with Americans. Ralph Lauren,
Calvin Klein, Michael Kors and Victoria Secret are some well-known
American brands.
American fashion is widely influenced by celebrities and the media, and
fashion sales equal around $200 billion per year, according to a paper
published by Harvard University.
American food
American cuisine has been influenced by Europeans and Native Americans
in its early history. Today, there are a number of foods that are
commonly identified as American, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, potato
chips, macaroni and cheese, and meat loaf. "As American as apple pie"
has come to mean something that is authentically American.
There are also styles of cooking and types of foods that are specific
to a region. Southern-style cooking is often called "American comfort
food" and includes dishes such as fried chicken, collard greens,
black-eyed peas and corn bread. Tex-Mex, popular in Texas and the
Southwest, is a blend of Spanish and Mexican cooking styles and includes
items such as chili and burritos and relies heavily on shredded cheese
and beans.
Jerky, dried meats that are served as snacks, is also a food that was created in the United States, according to NPR.
The Arts
The United States is widely known around the world as a leader in mass
media proction, including television and movies. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United States comprises one-third of the worldwide media and entertainment instry.
The television broadcasting instry took hold in the United States in
the early 1950s, and American television programs are now shown around
the world. The United States also has a vibrant movie instry, centered
in Hollywood, California, and American movies are popular worldwide.
The U.S. film instry earned $31 billion in revenues in 2013, according
to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The United State's arts culture extends beyond movies and television
shows, though. New York is home to Broadway, and Americans have a rich
theatrical history. American folk art is an artistic style and is
identified with quilts and other hand-crafted items. American music is
very diverse with many, many styles, including rhythm and blues, jazz,
gospel, country and western, bluegrass, rock 'n' roll and hip hop.
Baseball is called America's favorite pastime.

Sports
The United States is a sports-minded country, with millions of fans who
follow football, baseball, basketball and hockey, among other sports.
Baseball, which was developed in colonial America and became an
organized sport in the mid-1800s, is known as America’s favorite
pastime, although its popularity has been eclipsed by football for the
past three decades, according to the Harris Poll.
American holidays
Many holidays are celebrated only in the United States. Americans
celebrate their independence from Britain on July 4. Memorial Day,
celebrated on the last Monday in May, honors those who have died in
military service. Labor Day, observed on the first Monday in September,

④ 求一篇关于美国文化的英语作文
As we know,America is a young country,however,its culture is quite splendid,which is admitted by people all over the world,especially its fastfood culture.
In 1948,the Richards opened up the first fastfood restaurant,named Mcdonald's,beside a highway.In order to attract people passing by,they lifted up the golden neon signs,mainly selling out the hamburgers,milkshake,soda water and so on which are packed with paper bags.Due to it's convenient to carry with,those people that on the car can find the solution to eating,therefore,it's very popular with the Americans.Based on the instrial pipeline,a new kind of the fastfood came into being.With its appearance,a new lifestyle started to spread to the whole America,even affected the whole world later on.
In my opinion,the reason why the American fastfood is so popular owes to people's fast rhythm of life,and Americans are always seeking for the high efficiency no matter in their work or life.

⑤ 800字英语作文 有关美国文化 很急!!
Modern American culture is a juicy burger of mass culture garnished with 15 minutes of fame. It owes as much to marketing savvy, communications technology and mass-proction techniques as it does to artists and entertainers. If you can name it, American companies have invented, packaged and disseminated it to as many consumers as cheaply and conveniently as possible.
The elusive concept of 'American-ness' is often defined by cinema and television. The advent of TV in the 1950s shook Hollywood's hegemony to its core, but both forms of media have managed to coexist, even operating synergistically. The global distribution of American movies and TV shows has shaped the world's perception of the country to a high, if not completely accurate, degree.
The American music instry is the world's most powerful and pervasive, though groundswell movements remain the driving force of American pop. African Americans' influence, including blues, jazz and hip-hop, can hardly be exaggerated.
Rap, America's inner-city sound, places an equal emphasis on an ultraheavy beat, sound montage, street cred and macho posturing. Its appeal to middle-class white America will no doubt bemuse sociologists for decades.
The US has churned out a veritable forest of literature. The illustrious lineup begins with Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emily Dickinson, Henry James and Edith Wharton, and moves into the modern era with William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, Jack 'Backpack' Kerouac, Arthur Miller, both the Williamses, Saul Bellow, John Updike and Toni Morisson..
After WWII, the focus of the international art world shifted from Paris to New York. Artists leaving war-torn Europe brought the remnants of surrealism to the Big Apple, inspiring a group of young American painters to create the first distinct American painting style, abstract expressionism.
The relentless ascendancy of mass media gave birth to pop art. Slick, surface-oriented and purposely banal paintings like Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans are now American icons.
When we think of US cities, we think of skyscrapers, those architectural testaments to market forces and American optimism. Chicago is a living museum of high-rise development. New York boasts its fair share of stunners too. Despite increasing homogenization, rural America retains its idiosyncrasies, and distinctive vernacular architectural styles persist in New England (clapboard), California (Spanish Mission) and New Mexico (adobe).
American sports developed separately from the rest of the world and, consequently, homegrown games such as baseball, football and basketball dominate the sports scene. Soccer and ice hockey are runners-up to the Big Three. Urban America also invented the great indoors: aerobics and the gym, indoor skiing and rock-climbing - examples of what can go wrong when too much disposable income hits up against too little leisure time.

Abstract:
America’s history of literature began with the swarming in of immigrants with different background and cultures. After that, American literature had been greatly influenced by the European culture for a long period. It was not until America’s independence, did Americans realized that they need national literature strongly, and American literature began to developed. The Civil War was a watershed in the history, after which American literature entered a period of full blooming. Romantics, which emphasized indivialism and intuition and Tnscendentalism represented by Emerson came out into being. This was an exciting period in the history of American literature. Like the flowers of spring, there were suddenly many different kinds of writing at the same time. They have given depth and strength to American literature, and accelerated the forming of High Romantics. But e to the influence of Civil War, the American society was in a turbulent situation. The writings about local life, critical realism and unveiling the dark side of the society were increased. After The First World War, Americans were at a loss postwar, and the Modern American literature began.
My piece of paper is written in chronological order as these periods developed in order to have a clear outline of its progress.

advocation：(=advocacy)拥护；支持
美国文化的主要内容是强调个人价值，追求民主自由，崇尚开拓和竞争，讲求理性和实用，其核心是个人中心主义：个人至上、私欲至上、追求个人利益和个人享受，强调通过个人奋斗、个人自我设计，追求个人价值的最终实现。这种刻意塑造自我，追求个性化的个人主义有其积极的一面，也有消极的一面。它调动了个人的积极性，使许多人的智慧和潜力得以充分发挥，从而促进整个民族与国家的振兴和发展。然而，人人以我为中心，人际关系就难以融洽，整个社会也会缺乏凝聚力。
美国公众注重成就，仰慕英雄，有深厚的成就崇拜和英雄崇拜的心理积淀。个人成就是所有美国人价值观中评价最高的价值之一。美国人有很强的成就(或成功)意识。成功是所有美国人的追求，是诱人的前景，前进的动力。他们坚信，一个人的价值就等于他在事业上的成就。一些事业有成的企业家、科学家、艺术家和各类明星，成了新时代的英雄。他们个人奋斗的过程和结果，成了社会文化价值取向的参照系，父母教育子女的活教材。
美国是流动性很大的社会。这种流动体现在两个方面：地域性流动和社会性流动。美国相对的开放自由、发达的交通和冒险好动的传统使许多美国人从乡村流到城市，又从市中心流向郊区；从北方流到南方阳光地带，从一个城市流到另一个城市。美国社会阶级不像欧洲国家那样固定，加上公共教育的普及，使沿着社会阶梯向上流动成为可能。许多生活在美国的人，无论是土生土长的美国人，还是漂洋过海来到美国的外国移民，都有一个梦，即通过自己的努力，改变自己的社会地位，实现自己的人生梦想，这就是人们常津津乐道的“美国梦”。
