  • Comparing American Culture and Latino Culture

    1979 Words  | 4 Pages

    Frequently, we do not put too much attention to our own cultural values and traditions until we are exposed to a different culture, and start comparing. In order to have a more productive and fruitful life I believe we need to become more self-aware and more sensitive to the culturally and ethnically diverse community we live in. Two cultures that have been sharing the same living space for centuries are the Hispanic and American culture. In this paper I would be analyzing each culture giving a brief background and pointing out some aspects in how they differ, like the perception of time, family, orientation, and others. American culture has a couple of aspects in which it differs from the Hispanic culture, which for the most part are Latin in root. Clearly there are strong points and weak points between the two cultures. That is why I personally believe that specifically these two cultures complement each other so well. The lives of people in American culture mainly revolve around work, and time has to be carefully divided in order to achieve everything they have mind. Hispanic culture is a culture where family and relationships are more important than anything else, time and schedules can be changed. You could say a little bit more relaxed. Certainly, these are only general remarks and there are always exceptions, like everything else.

  • Characteristics Of Being An American

    1115 Words  | 3 Pages

    The definition of an American, is someone who is a citizen of the United States. Many African Americans, and immigrants struggled to become actual Americans in their lifetimes, because others didn 't see them as actual people; and based it on the color of someone. In today 's world people who live in America consider themselves as Americans, but to me there is certain qualities that make a person an American. To me being a true American is not based off of what Country they were born in, or what race their parents are, or even if they were immigrated to the United States. People from all over the world would say that maybe people could base this off of someone 's family heritage, or where they were before they came to America. If you were asked what makes an American an American what would you base it off of? To me there are four specific characteristics that make a person a true American; those three things would be, freedom, individuality, belief in the country, and happiness.

  • Mozart's The Magic Flute

    974 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is a large cast of characters including the priest Sarastro (a very serious, proselytizing basso), the Queen of the Night (a mean, angry, scheming coloratura), and her daughter, the beautiful and courageous Pamina. There is the handsome hero, Tamino, on the quintessential road trip, and his cohort in misadventure, the bird seller, Papageno. Papageno ultimately finds his Papagena (who starts out disguised as a crone), Tamino ultimately wins Pamina, Sarastro presumably wins a passle of converts, and everyone goes home humming the catchy Mozart melodies. It is all presented in a plot complicated by a dragon, a threesome of warbling ladies in service to the Queen of the Night, another threesome of boy-angels, even a bully - Monostatos, guard for the Queen. It is lightened by such elements as locked lips, charmed animals, and, of course, a magic flute.

  • What Are The Similarities Between Avatar And The Americans

    601 Words  | 2 Pages

    The movie “Avatar” has much symbolism to the First Nations People of Canada and the actions that took place when the Europeans started to settle. In the movie, there are two main groups of people, the “Na’vi” (First Nations People), and the humans (Europeans). The humans come to a planet called “Pandora” to excavate a very rare material that sells for a lot of money. It just so happens that the biggest harvest area, is right underneath the Na’vi’s home. The two diverse groups of people need a way to communicate their wants, but this proves to be more difficult than they think. Through this summary, countless similarities can be accounted for. The very different culture of the Na’vi and humans, the need to uphold an agreement (treaty), the exploration of Pandora, the fight for resources, and eventually, forcing the natives out of their own land.
