@sporus your right nothing is linear, I am simpily saying that we can look at time and realize how is culture has changed and is not dependent on race
*You’re
different races made different societies
new races immigrating into new territories assimilate into the native race
or else conquer the natives
ok?
they are not assimilating into a native race they are assimilating into a native state
Culture is just selectively curated anyways
The United States themselves don't have a prevalent culture, because the country was created by many different people, with many different cultures. Throughout the ages, some cultures merged, people adopted other cultures, thus these cultures disappeared from the USA, etc. In the 21st century, there are few people who have customs, and that's because of Christianity. Thanks to progress and capitalism, America's most prevalent culture became consumerism, one could say. While a few people continue to have customs, it's not only customs that make up a culture, but is made up of the values, beliefs, underlying assumptions, attitudes, and behaviors shared by a group of people. Culture is something like the behavior which results into some generally unspoken and unwritten rules that the members of this culture follow, and which "dictate" the way they act. That's why many people say that Consumerism is the modern American Culture. But if you think about it, this modern American culture is very blur, and not like the other European, or Asian, or African cultures. In Africa, for example, the people's culture dictates how they act, behave, live, etc. In America, not at all.
So apparently there is a modern American culture, but it's too blur, and of the surface, and that's why many people deny its existence.
In my most humble opinion.

@Koninos American culture is complicated yes I don't deny that, but to suggest we don't have a culture at all is delusional just because it has not been developed over the course of thousands of years does not mean it is not a culture, we check most of the boxes of a culture
>American
>Culture
Pick one
Why can people here not make an arguement that is longer than 100 words
Because America has no defined culture and is just a cluster of several cultures mashed together
Different regions have different cultures
@Chief Rocket Designer It's not complicated. It's blur and of the surface, with no depth, thus no complications. Too simple and too small when related to other cultures. And it has been developed. From the European cultures that had been once carried from Europe to our country, now, only Consumerism and a few customs remain, most of which are thanks to Christianity.
Also arguments need to be to-the-point, not necessarily paragraphs of more than 100 words.
@Koninos I was refering to this
```>American
>Culture
Pick one```
This is not an arguement
anyways
I again did not say that america had the most developed culture, but I fail to see how we lack one
what points are we missing
Yes, I know. There are many edgy and retarded people in here, you'll have to get used to it if you are to stay in the server.
In reality, we don't lack a culture. But many say we do, mainly because they follow a culture of depth, instead of ours, which is of the surface. We don't have a defined one though. Certain regions have different cultures.
Sure but that is the same for all cultures
all cultures can be infinitly reduced to the individual
I mean northern germany is different from bavaria
and bavaria has town cultures
and town cultures has various other things
etc
same with the USA
Yes, that's true. But if you take Eastern European nations as an example, or Asian and African ones, you will see that culture plays an extremely major role in one's life.
As for Germany it is at the same cultural level with the USA, if we are to accept this term.
I mean people take parts of culture seriously
