Answer 3

There is good and bad in every culture. English-speaking culture is diverse as English is an international language.
If you are talking about just England, you will still get many answers- the country of Beowulf, Chaucer, Shakespeare, George Herbert, John Milton, Jane Austin, Charles Dickens, Graham Greene and David Beckham.
As an Englishman who has only spent three weeks in the UK since 2000, let me say I appreciate England more now I live somewhere else...

Answer 4

If you're really interested in the answer to this question, read a book called Watching the English by Kate Fox. It's all about the way the English behave and why. I've read the book and as an englishman myself I agree with the vast majority of it, a very good book.

Answer 5

What is culture of any variety? Answer: A sophisticated form of tribalism. Art, architecture, literature, provides a thin veneer of hyperbole to paper over the primitive savagery that lies just below the surface, all expressed in the national monologue 'they are evil, not us, therefore we have a legal right to kill 'them' for their sins'. Ref: Saddam.
English culture has many interesting features as Niamh succinctly listed but in my opinion they are all covered in the blood of killing the innocent abroad and NOTHING can remove the stain of guilt and the stench of hell we have created in the Middle East. A hell that has only just begun.
If anyone calls me British, I feel insulted.

What is it to be English?
Britain's first black archbishop has attacked multiculturalism and urged English people to reclaim their national identity. Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, says that many people are embarrassed about being English and need to discover their culture afresh. Do you agree? What does it mean to be English - and how should it be celebrated? Read the article and Ruth Gledhill's weblog and send us your views using the form below. Your replies will be posted here
What does it mean by being English? Continuing to support the national football and cricket team, even when they’re crap. Being disrespectful about the Royal Family, until there’s a war and we need a totem to run up the flagpole. Universal agreement that the French are our eternal foe. Being humorous about every situation, even when things a totally bleak, and you’ve just sawn your own legs off. Never taking ourselves too seriously. Thinking up the world’s greatest ideas, but being totally incapable of exploiting them commercially, or run our own railway. Always siding with the underdog. How should we celebrate being English? We don’t need to. Being English gives us so much self-confidence that we don’t need to invent things like "national events", "national costume", oath of allegiances in the morning, etc. That’s for nations without confidence. Being and knowing you’re English is a celebration in itself. Ivan Dearlove, Cambridge

My initial thoughts suggest the following: liberalism, democracy, racial impurity, pragmatism, the language (in its various forms and dialects), are non puritanical, and have a sense of belonging to our nation our town/ city and our counties. Given this, perhaps the English will become more vocal about their identity as our BRITISH Government steadily erodes our ENGLISH rights and ENGLISH democracy. We do not have our own Parliament like the Scots, so now suffer undemocratic practices like the Westlothian question, and financial discrimination from the Barnett formula. Brian Stone, London

If you're British and you know it, clap your hands! It takes a black man, a minister of God, a man who developed his identity and values in a foreign country where he recognised the strength and character of the English heritage, to remind us of who we are and who we should be. I might be embarrassed in this politically-correct age to emphasise my Britishness, to shout for my national team in sport or choke back my pride when I hear Land of Hope and Glory; I might be afraid that displaying a Union Jack might characterise me as a member of an organisation such as the BNP (a group I detest). The Archbishop of York, with great insight and clarity, recognises that as Englishmen we have a culture to be proud of, a Nation to stand up for, a way of life that is worth protecting. We have standards and values that are shaped primarily from a foundation in Christianity and which have been maintained and protected with the lives of many Englishmen over the years. We should celebrate the English way of life, safeguard it from any erosion, absorb those changes from outside that we find acceptable and reject those that are not. We are not a multicultural society; we are an English society that welcomes and accepts other culture is good.
