American culture encompasses the customs and traditions of the United States. "Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things," said Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London.

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.

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.

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 conducted 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.

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.

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 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 United States is widely known around the world as a leader in mass media production, including television and movies. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United States comprises one-third of the worldwide media and entertainment industry.

The television broadcasting industry 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 industry, centered in Hollywood, California, and American movies are popular worldwide. The U.S. film industry 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.

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.

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, celebrates country’s workforce. Thanksgiving, another distinctive American holiday, falls on the fourth Thursday in November and dates back to colonial times to celebrate the harvest. Presidents’ Day, marking the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, is a federal holiday that occurs on the third Monday in February. The contributions of veterans are honored on Veterans’ Day, observed on Nov. 11. The contributions of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. are remembered on the third Monday in January.

The United States is home to many cultures and a wide variety of ethnic groups, traditions, and values.

Mainstream American cuisine is similar to that in other Western countries. Wheat is the primary cereal grain with about three-quarters of grain products made of wheat flour and many dishes use indigenous ingredients, such as turkey, venison, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, squash, and maple syrup which were consumed by Native Americans and early European settlers. These home grown foods are part of a shared national menu on one of America's most popular holidays; Thanksgiving, when some Americans make traditional foods to celebrate the occasion.

he rhythmic and lyrical styles of African-American music have deeply influenced American music at large, distinguishing it from European traditions. Elements from folk idioms such as the blues and what is now known as old-time music were adopted and transformed intopopular genres with global audiences. Jazz was developed by innovators such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington early in the 20th century. Country music developed in the 1920s, and rhythm and blues in the 1940s.

Hollywood, a northern district of Los Angeles, California, is one of the leaders in motion picture production. The world's first commercial motion picture exhibition was given in New York City in 1894, using Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope. The next year saw the first commercial screening of a projected film, also in New York, and the United States was in the forefront of sound film's development in the following decades. Since the early 20th century, the U.S. film industry has largely been based in and around Hollywood, although in the 21st century an increasing number of films are not made there, and film companies have been subject to the forces of globalization.

The four major broadcasters in the U.S. are the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), theAmerican Broadcasting Company (ABC) and Fox. More than 800 publications are produced in Spanish, the second most widely spoken mother tongue behind English.

The United States has been a leader in technological innovation since the late 19th century and scientific research since the mid 20th century. Methods for producing interchangeable parts were developed by the U.S. War Department by the Federal Armories during the first half of the 19th century.

The USA is the world's foremost economic and military power, with global interests and an unmatched global reach.

America's gross domestic product accounts for close to a quarter of the world total, and its military budget is reckoned to be almost as much as the rest of the world's defence spending put together.

The country is also a major source of entertainment: American TV, Hollywood films, jazz, blues, rock and rap music are primary ingredients in global popular culture.

The United States originated in a revolution which separated it from the British Crown. The constitution, drafted in 1787, established a federal system with a division of powers which has remained unchanged in form since its inception.

Some facts about the USA:

Population 316 million

Area 9.8 million sq km (3.8 million sq miles)

Major language English

Major religion Christianity

Life expectancy 76 years (men), 81 years (women)

Currency US dollar

Mudslides wreaked havoc in Southern California Tuesday amid intense rainfall across the state, demolishing homes in Santa Barbara County and killing at least 15 people. Just weeks ago, many of those areas hardest hit by mudslides were battling wildfires.Firefighters waded through debris, over piles of fallen trees and around displaced boulders in the aftermath of the storm, scouring for survivors after several homes were swept away. In one dramatic rescue, the Santa Barbara fire department pulled a 14-year-old girl from the remains of her destroyed home in Montecito. In another instance, a boy was found under a freeway overpass and rescued by firefighters; mud had carried him for hundreds of yards.

Trường cấp hai là nơi đã in dấu biết bao kí ức của tuổi thơ tôi. Ngôi trường nằm ở vị trí trung tâm của huyện. Được bao quanh bởi cánh đồng lúa, với những hàng cây xanh và khu vườn đầy sắc màu của ngôi trường, tất cả đã tạo nên một khung cảnh thật tuyệt vời. Ngoài ra ngôi trường được thiết kế với một kế hoạch quy mô. Đó là ngôi trường với các toà nhà hai tầng được xếp theo hình chữ u với sức chứa khoảng 1000 người và ngôi trường được đầu tư chu đáo về mặt cơ sở hạ tầng với những lớp học hiện đại. Được học tập trong một môi trường tốt, học sinh sẽ có nhiều cơ hội khám phá và phát triển những tài năng còn ẩn sâu của mình. Bên cạnh cơ sở hạ tầng hiện đại, ngôi trường còn được biết đến bởi những người thầy, người cô đầy tài năng và nhiệt huyết, những người luôn tận tâm và cống hiến hết mình cho sự nghiệp dạy học. Tóm lại, học tập ở ngôi trường này trong vòng bốn năm, ngôi trường dường như đã trở thành một phần không thể thiếu trong cuộc sống của tôi.

Topic: ENVIRONMENTThe environment is everything in the world, everything around us. There are four kinds of environment: water, air, soil and creature. The environtment is very important for our life, our health and our future. If you want to have a good health, you must live in a good environment. Countryside is the best example because there aren’t many factories and there are many trees in the countryside so the air is very fresh. It makes you feel comfortable and healthy.But today, the environment is the ho'est problem in the world because it is polluted by people who live in it- the main reason which causes the environmental pollu)on. The water becomes dirty and becovered by trash. The factories decant chemistry into stream, river and sea. Fishes, sea plants are died and +oat on the water surface. Many trees in the forest are cut down to make furnitures. Peoplethrow trash onto the water, the street or in the park. In addi)on, the weather is very hot and don’t have any rain in the long )me. There are many other reasons which make environmental pollu)on.Environmental pollu)on is not good for your healthy. It is the cause which makes illness and cancer like respiratory disease, lung cancer,etc… and you may die soon. So people have to do everything that is possible to reduce the pollu)on, protect the environment. Reusing, reducing and recycling arethe best ways.• When you buy some food in the market, the sellers usually give you plas)c bags to put the food in. Then, when you come home, you take the food out and throw the plas)c bags away. You know, the plas)c bags are di2cult to be burned. So now, please don’t do that, you can wash and use them for the next )me. It’s reusing.• Trees are very useful. They give us the oxygen and make the air clean. But everyyear, many trees are cut down illegally. We should avoid this situa)on. Reducing your family’s domes)c waste is a good idea and I think it’s necessary to do that. Because the waste is very dirty and solving waste is always the ho'est problem that always need the solu)ons.• The last, you can recycle the paper, cans, )ns,ect… which are used. By doing that, you can ear money and protect the environment.The environment is important for our life so we have to protect it. We should solve the environmental pollu)on together. Protect the environment, protect our life.
