what kind of culture does America (usa) has?

Answer 1

There's absolutely no such thing as "no culture". By definition a society cannot exist without one. This is a common misconception. Many who believe in a historical culture believe the US doesn't have one. However our culture values the future not the past. That is part of our culture. It exists.

The US is a predominately English speaking, Capitalist, Republic. It believes primarily in the nuclear family. The US is hardworking (by dry statistics) due to a belief in a high standard of living and an obsession with entertainment. The US is also mostly Christian, but tolerant of all religions and holds a belief in secular government. (Of course this isn't true of everyone, but it the US in general or in the majority.)

Answer 2

American culture is largely the culture of the car.
Some cities out east were old enough that their infrastructure is ok for walking, but America was very young when the automobile was introduced. So much of the development of cities was centered around automobiles, not people.

Cars made it possible for cross-pollination of local cultures around the country (as they were, not terribly formal), and so very few pockets of unique culture remain in the USA. The car, and the highway infrastructure that reaches right into cities and across the entire country, homogenized our culture.

Convenience began to become more important in the 50's as America was starting to have more free time as well. This meant more time in cars. The highway system was finished and polished in the 50's and 60's so we can travel absolutely everywhere by car.

Cars went from being the medium-the means by which we moved around-to being the message themselves. A car means "freedom" to young Americans. The chance to get away from your parents. It is also individuality. Styles and colors are very important to people, but also the way that a car can take you far away from everything you know means that you are not tied to anything. Since everyone is like this, this makes the car a power symbol too. Americans prize individuality and self-identity very highly. A car represents these things perfectly.

So with so much of our daily lives spent in and around cars, and with the powerful connections to our self-image, I would say that America is the culture of the car.

Answer 3

to be frank America doesn't have any culture. this is becoz America is a country of mixed population. though i m not sure if the first nation people deserved to win this contest. whatever it may be, at present the most prominent American culture is the culture of blood bath. i guess they like to see other people's blood and rotten flesh. nothing gives them more pleasure than these. the way they are killing humans like birds throughout the world, i can't find any other better culture for them. in the modern human history no other nations has been involved in such killing spree (sorry guys i think hitler was even better). i guess they are doing the duty of checking the ever increasing human population on this planet. keep up the good work my fellow Americans. may be one day there will be no other human race left, but the great Americans. and USA will be called as UWA (united world of America).

Answer 4

I would say it has American culture. It is still based in the lore of Western culture, aka, Western Europe, but has deviated quite a bit over the last few centuries. Americans are different in many ways (not good or bad necessarily) than their European cousins, enough to say that we have our own culture for better or worse.

As far as within America, there are subcultures such as Californian, Southwest, Southerner, Midweserner, New Englander, etc, but these differences are fading with modern travel and communications technology.

Answer 5

While Europe looks back at their royal culture, usa has never even had medieval history. I used to say that there is no culture in usa, but recently i realized that there's a money culture, which is actually worse than no culture at all.

Answer 6

America has a mixed culture..hence the term "melting pot". Influences from The Native Americans, Anglos, Africans, Asians ...and every other group, can be seen here.

Answer 7

Its just Western culture like Europe's

Answer 8

Multi-culture, ever moving closer towards globalization. Easiest to see this in our large cities- New York, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, etc. Diasporic populations (your hyphenated identities) have made this possible.

Answer 9

bad culture

Answer 10

pop culture
