The fifty stars on the flag represent the 50 states and the 13 stripes represent the thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British monarchy and became the first states in the Union. Nicknames for the flag include the "Stars and Stripes", "Old Glory," and "The Star-Spangled Banner" also the name of the national anthem.

  multi-cultural communities.

As the home of the United Nations Headquarters, it is an important center for international affairs and is widely deemed the cultural capital of the world. The city is also referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the state of New York, of which it is a part.

Times Square, iconified as "The Crossroads of the World", is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theater district, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.

  American Dream.

  The United States is a multicultural nation, home to a wide variety of ethnic groups, traditions, and values. Aside from the now small Native American and Native Hawaiian populations, nearly all Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries. The culture held in common by most Americans—mainstream American culture—is a Western culture largely derived from the traditions of European immigrants with influences from many other sources, such as traditions brought by slaves from Africa. More recent immigration from Asia and especially Latin America has added to a cultural mix that has been described as both a homogenizing melting pot and a heterogeneous salad bowl in which immigrants and their descendants retain distinctive cultural characteristics.

  Americans celebrate a variety of federal holidays and other national observances throughout the year, such as New Year's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. American holidays can be secular, religious, international, or uniquely American.

  Traditional American cuisine uses indigenous ingredients, such as turkey, venison, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, squash, and maple syrup, which were consumed by Native Americans and early European settlers. Characteristic dishes such as apple pie, fried chicken, pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs derive from the recipes of various immigrants. French fries, Mexican dishes such as pasta dishes freely adapted from Italian sources are widely consumed.

  Baseball has been regarded as the national sport since the late 19th century. Basketball and ice hockey are the country's next two leading professional team sports. Boxing and horse racing were once the most watched individual sports, but they have been eclipsed by golf and auto racing. Soccer is played widely at the youth and amateur levels. Tennis and many outdoor sports are popular as well.

  篇3:美國文化

  i’m glad to show you mine presentation today. and now let’s see some pictures. what are they? maybe you’ll say “ads”. but do you see the slogans on them? just as this one “obey your thirst”.

  advertisements give latest information about products. but some people think that advertisements don’t give much information but only try to persuade customers to buy. may be what mentioned above is the citizens’ view about advertisement.

  so, what i want to say is that we can pay more attention on advertising slogans, and some of them give us some inspiration.

  we might as well take a look.

  first i want to share my favorite slogan with you. it’s the slogan of the hennessy. “to me, the past is black and white, but the future is always color.” just as the slogan said, i hold the view that a person can’t be always lost in the past, and no matter how happy or terrible the past is, the future is worthy to be expected. this slogan gives a clear picture of the life that every successful person who want to realize the dream.

  besides, there’s another slogan, “start ahead”. i believe that most of us are familiar with its chinese meaning “成功之路,從頭開始”. iargue that wherever we go and whatever we meet, this sentence is full of power and wisdom.

  the other one is the slogan of canon. as it said, “impossible made possible.” when

  we are in case of emergency or we meet difficulties at the critical stage of our life, it’s a good choice for us to use the slogan for encouragement.

  there’re also many slogans which deserve to be thought about. for example, “intelligence everywhere,” “the relentless pursuit of perfection,” and the most famous one “just do it”.

  maybe we’ll forget them after the first time we heard them or maybe we could seldom remember them unless in a special situation. in my opinion, since we have so many excellent advertising slogans, we have every reason to make full use of the social resources.

  in other words, after we enjoy the happiness and know about the introduction of the products, we should take in the wisdom and the truth which behind them. thank you, it’s all my presentation.

  篇4:Governments of China and America

  In a word, the government of China and America are both democratic. China’s NPC system is consist of many representatives elected from everywhere in china, while America’s government is also consists of elected people from different states. Though both two are democratic, they are still different in many ways.

  China has more than four times of population comparing to America. Several NPC members are elected from 1.3 billion people; they must be representative and capable enough. However, many of them are rich people. Though we require democratic, the absolute democratic is actually difficult to achieve. They are not able to care for people of every status. The NPC will be held once in 5 years, and during the 5 years, the power of government is used by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

  While in America, the power of government is divided into three parts. They are the legislation part, whose name is the Congress, the president, and the judicial part, which is also described as 3 branches, whose name is the Supreme Court. For the power is divided into 3 parts, different parts have counterbalance against each other, the government can be democratic and just enough, though sometimes the division can cause many redundant procedures and make something more complex,

  which would make the government less efficiency. At least, the resident is the commander of the U.S. army. The president is able to command the army directly when the country is facing emergencies.

  There cannot be absolute democratic in the world. Sometimes even democratic can also be ridiculous and make awful decisions. We cannot be democratic in everything, but for now democratic is the most effective and fair way. There must be unavoidable troubles in each government, what we need to do is to find it, and then improve it.
