...States University History 101 Compare and contrast the European culture of the English and the French with the Cultures of the Native Americans in the New World. The conquest of American territory and its subsequent exploitation by Europeans caused a breakdown and destruction of existing native cultures on the continent. American lands were take systematically by whites who were founded their towns and cities on behalf of European Kings. When Europeans explorers landed on the north side of the American continent they found only natives inhabiting the place, from this connection to European continent United States became a colony of England. Initially they settled the eastern part of the country, which is the coastline that borders the Atlantic Ocean. Soon after the middle part was colonized by France and south east part by Spain. At the time of European colonization of North America, the Native American Indian cultures had developed relatively complex social systems, adapted to their environment. The Indians shared a highly developed system of trade. Different tribes of Native Americans traded goods all across the country. Several were skilled farmers, while others were hunters. These tribes had developed their own cultures many years before the settlers arrived. Each have a different religion and a strong spiritual belief. Many tribes shared similar one. With the increasing influence of European cultures, native cultures of American Indians were replaced and a new value...

... Evaluate the complex interaction of cultures that resulted with the arrival of European explorers and colonies. Was this interaction more harmful or beneficial to both Europeans and Native Americans? The cultural interactions between the Europeans and the Native Americans were ultimately destructive for the natives, but overall beneficial for the Europeans. It is clearly stated in many history books that the European diseases brought over to the Americas decimated much of the native population. This dramatic loss of population affected the natives willingness to resist European assimilation, and thus contributed to the loss of many native cultures but a blending of European and native cultures. Furthermore, the natives were often...

...American Identity Paper Jerry L. Robinson HIS/110 CA U S History to 1865 February 07, 2014 Charles Salter American Identity Paper With the growing diversity of America, how the Americans view themselves today tend to be more sophisticated. Partly, the developed democracy in the country plays a role in developing the American identity, which is not equated to ethnicity. It is the growth of the American culture, which evolved from the time of the American colonization to date (Spiro, 2008). Evidently, American identity differs from any other lifestyle worldwide. Though the American identity phenomenon has been identified by many individuals, Crevecoeur, an American farmer illustrates a contrast in the life he spent in Europe and that, which he found in America and how British colonies have contributed to the American identity (St. de Crèvecoeur, Trent & Lewisohn, 1904). What distinguishes an American from a European In his first letter, Crevecoeur portrays Americans as a course group with varied religious groups and practices that exist in harmony. Crevecoeur emphasized that the immigrants finally had the opportunity to thrive through hard work and determination. His oratory hints that a European could be Americanized simply by clinching to American culture of patriotism (St. de Crèvecoeur, Trent & Lewisohn, 1904). Additionally, he emphasizes that this could even be much easier if the European morphed into a race of new men who struggle...

...talk about the facts of the before and after of the voyages of Columbus and how they are misinterpreted. Zinn’s and Mann’s views of the Americas before and after Columbus compare to the traditional more vague notions, because they present the idea that the Native Americans were as advanced as the Europeans , and that Columbus and his men oppressed the natives soon after interacting with them. Both Zinn and Mann have written in their texts that before Columbus came into contact with the New World,...

...Euro-Disney? ------------------------------------------------- 3. ------------------------------------------------- In retrospect, was France the best choice for the location of Euro-Disney? Disney has made certain assumption about the European taste and preference particularly of French consumers which turn out to be flawed because they did not evaluate effectively the cultural differences and preferences of French consumers. Firstly, Disney followed the traditional policies by forbidding liquor in their theme park, which is astonishingly very commonplace in French culture where wine is complementary with lunches and meals. Secondly, from Disney’s perspective Monday would be a light day and Friday would be a heavy day proved to be reversed. Thirdly, Disney assumed that most of the French did not take breakfast so they downsized the restaurants but customers for breakfast turned out to be in greater numbers than expected. There were 350 serving seats for 2500 people. Moreover, they demanded American type of breakfast mostly beacon and eggs as compared to traditional french i.e. croissants and coffee. In addition lunch timings were also an issue because most of the customers want lunch by 12:30. Fourthly, Disney expected that Europeans would not much longer because it a general notion in Europe that theme parks are places of excursion rather that an extended...

...The Influence of Heritage on Current Culture Evaluation of how family subscribes to these traditions and practices is offered in detail, while offering insight and/or reflection.It is essential for nurses to provide culturally sensitive care to each and every patient in order to establish repor and maintain a safe working relationship with each individual. To provide culturally sensitive care to a nurses patient’s he or she must first assess their own beliefs, values, and culture at large. The nurse can do this by using the Heritage Assessment Tool. This tool shows the nurse how important their heritage is to them and if they have adopted their ways of life from their family’s history and influence. This gives the nurse a starting point for his or her own competency because once the nurse knows their own beliefs they will know what to keep in mind as their own biases that may hinder or limit care of their patients. The Heritage Assessment tool can then be used with the nurses’ patients in assessing how much they follow their cultural heritage. When interviewing families from different cultures one can see the disparities between them and their perception of their health maintenance, health protection, and health restoration. Applying the Heritage Assessment in Evaluating the Needs of the Whole Person The Heritage Assessment is a useful tool in evaluating the needs of the patient and in being able to provide holistic patient care. The Heritage Assessment Tool assesses whether...

...foreigners. When talking about foreigners, it is the Europeans who invaded and settled in America, not the Indians. But, on many occasions this is not the case, as many of the European settlers consider themselves as the indigenous people of America (Howells and Negreiros 27). These concepts have been shown in films, where the battle for what might appear as ownership is evident. There are many films that are about the indigenous people of America, among which are Smoke Signals and Fast Runner. The films try to demonstrate and oppose the stereotypes that people have for the indigenous people of America (Knopf 193). Comparing the movies, one can see the employment of cinematic applications such as sounds and shots, editing, angle, camera movement, framing, music, and lighting, and then see how they relate or contrast. All the same, the films are...

...Academic English for Business and Management Compare and contrast the ideas expressed in the two texts. To what extent do these texts show that national and cultural stereotypes are no longer a useful way of examining the human condition and economic activity? Choose an element in the texts which you find interesting and explain your reaction to it by giving examples from your own experience. It is commonly regarded that globalization is a world trend today, thus national and cultural stereotypes are drawing attention. Before reading, the definition of stereotype should be clarified. Stereotypes are traits but different from the country, language, culture and other factors. Furthermore, stereotype is ‘a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing’ (Oxford Dictionaries, Oxford University Press, 2014). This essay will compare and contrast the ideas from two articles named ‘Intercultural communication for sale’ (Piller, 2011) and ‘East meets West: How the brains unites us all’ (Yong, 2009), then consider whether stereotypes are useful to examine people’s mind and business activities. It is shown in two texts that national stereotype is a common topic that both Piller and Yong discussed in their articles. Yong (2009) refers to stereotypes that easterners have a holistic world view, while westerners tend to think more analytically. Piller (2011) uses the ideas of stereotypes and shows how they can be exploited to help sell...

...Tani’qua Jones Dr. Boyd American Lit. After reading and analyzing de Crevecoeur’s essay, “What is an American,” one could argue that the entire purpose of the essay was to describe an egalitarianism society, a society which has never existed in his eyes. De Crevecoeur was raised in a family of Counts and Countesses, experiencing the fortune of being born into a wealthy and prosperous family, while witnesses the misfortune of those who weren’t. Through the details and images described, from his experiences, in Letters of an American Farmer we obtain the true sense of being English or French; something de Crevecoeur wasn’t all too proud to be called. John de Crevecoeur was more honored to be called an American, working as a farmer, a life vastly different from the comfort and riches of being a Count. In “What is an American,” De Crevecoeur compares Europe and America to define the nature of being an American. And he illustrates throughout the essay, why the great American frontier is preferred by the vast majority. Although de Crevecoeur was born in France, he sees himself as an Englishman who has come to settle in America. Through his eyes we explore the differences he encounters in America that he would never discover in England. Most of these changes are based on his experience of being an American farmer, working on the beautiful open frontier. Here de Crevecoeur sees the industry of his native country displayed in a new manner, “there are no great manufacturers employing...
