American culture as it was when I was born is gone. And the culture we have now is one which holds different ideas about the world and about what is important from the one I was born into. To some extent America has always been in flux, but in the past immigrants underwent a lot of education so that they knew what they were signing on to when they became Americans. That is no longer true.

The influx of new peoples into America (the U.S.A. for you purists) is changing the culture of America so that for the children, they do not know to what culture they belong.

In the short run this is and will continue to cause a lot of confusion. What culture will emerge once the changes are more or less complete is yet to be determined/

Kids who live in in America but come from somewhere else have two cultures to deal with. They become a third kind of person called a Third Culture Kid. But the influx right now is so rapid, and the educational system doing such a bad job of helping children to establish themselves as persons before they start asking them to become multi-cultural, that I believe a lot of harm is being done. And I'm not optimistic that this approach will help the different cultures come together. What is being taught is confusing to young kids.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Middle English, cultivation, from Old French, from Latin cultra, from cultus, past participle of colere. See cultivate.]
Usage Note: The application of the term culture to the collective attitudes and behavior of corporations arose in business jargon during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Unlike many locutions that emerge in business jargon, it spread to popular use in newspapers and magazines. Few Usage Panelists object to it. Over 80 percent of Panelists accept the sentence The new management style is a reversal of GE's traditional corporate culture, in which virtually everything the company does is measured in some form and filed away somewhere. · Ever since C.P. Snow wrote of the gap between “the two cultures” (the humanities and science) in the 1950s, the notion that culture can refer to smaller segments of society has seemed implicit. Its usage in the corporate world may also have been facilitated by increased awareness of the importance of genuine cultural differences in a global economy, as between Americans and the Japanese, that have a broad effect on business practices.
