The development of the Culture of the United States of America has been marked by a tension between two strong sources of inspiration: European ideals, especially British; and domestic originality.

American culture encompasses traditions, ideals, customs, beliefs, values, arts, and innovations developed both domestically and imported via British colonization and immigration. Prevalent ideas and ideals which evolved domestically such as important national holidays, uniquely American sports, proud military tradition, and innovations in the arts and entertainment give a strong sense of national pride among the population as a whole.

It includes both conservative and liberal elements, military and scientific competitiveness, political structures, risk taking and free expression, materialist and moral elements.

It also includes elements which evolved from Native Americans, and other ethnic subcultures; most prominently the culture of African American slave descendants and different cultures from Latin America. Many cultural elements, especially popular culture have been exported across the globe through modern mass media where American culture is sometimes resented. A few of the cultural elements have remained rather exclusive to North America.

A. Hank, why do you post so many questions and answers that are racially inflaming.? What is your issue? Racial tolerance starts within ourselves. You really need to look at yourself. I am sure that deep down you are a good person since you have such strong emotions on these issues. Ask yourself this... "What can I say and do to improve race relations ?" In all of the world, there are persons (individuals) that are racially intolerant who incite others to feel the same. Tolerance starts with you. Do and say to other people, in the same way you would like them to say and do to you. If we live in a tolerant society and promote it, it will wash off on others.
