英美文化背景知識
Ecation in Britain and The US
In Britain all children have to go to school between the ages of 5 and 16. In the US children must go to school from the age of 6 to between the ages of 14 and 16, depending on the state they live in.
Subject
In England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum(課程), which was introced in 1988 and sets out(制定) in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16, when they are tested. The National Curriculum does not apply in Scotland, where each school decides what subjects it will teach.
In the US the subjects taught are decided by national and local governments. Whereas British schools usually have prayers(祈禱) and religious(宗教的) instruction, American schools are not allowed to include prayers or to teach particular religious beliefs(信仰).
Examinations
At 16 students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations. These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects and may involve a final examination, an assessment(評價) of work done ring the two year course, or both of these things. At 18 some students taken A-level examinations, usually in not more than 3 subjects. It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university or polytechnic(綜合技術大學).
In Scotland students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called HIGHS, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate(證書) of Sixth Year Studies. In Scotland the university system is different to that in England and Wales. Courses usually last four years rather than three and students study a larger number of subjects as part of their degree.
In the US school examinations are not as important as they are in Britain. Students in High Schools do have exams at the end of their last two years, but these final exams are considered along with the work that the students have done ring the school years.
Social Events and Ceremonies(儀式)
In American high schools there is a formal ceremony for Graation (=completion of high school). Students wear a special cap and gown and receive a diploma(文憑) from the head of the school. Students often buy a class ring to ear, and a yearbook, containing pictures of their friends and teachers. There are also special social events at American schools. Sports events are popular, and cheer leaders lead the school in supporting the school team and singing the school song. At the end of their junior year, at age 17 or 18, students held in the evening. The girls wear long evening dresses and the boys wear TUXEDOS.
In Britain, there are no formal dances or social occasions(場合) associated(和...有關) with school life. Some schools have SPEECH DAY at the end of the school year when prizes are given to the best students and speeches are made by the head teacher and sometimes an invited guest. However, in many British schools students and teachers organize(組織) informal dances for the older students.
D. 有關英美文化的英語知識
英語國家中傳統的文娛和體育活動:棒球、橄欖球等；英國:4月23日/7月---戲劇節--為紀念莎士比亞而舉行的盛大文娛活動
英語國家中重要的節假日:聖誕節---12月25日，情人節----2月14日；感恩節—11月的第四個星期四開始，持續四天
感恩節
每年11月的最後一個星期四是感恩節 (Thanksgiving Day) 。感恩節是美國人民獨創的一個古老節日，也是美國人合家歡聚的節日，因此美國人提起感恩節總是倍感親切。
感恩節的由來要一直追溯到美國歷史的發端。1620年，著名的「五月花」號船滿載不堪忍受英國國內宗教迫害的清教徒102人到達美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他們遇到了難以想像的困難，處在飢寒交迫之中，冬天過去時，活下來的移民只有50來人。這時，心地善良的印第安人給移民送來了生活必需品，還特地派人教他們怎樣狩獵、捕魚和種植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的幫助下，移民們終於獲得了豐收，在歡慶豐收的日子，按照宗教傳統習俗，移民規定了感謝上帝的日子，並決定為感謝印第安人的真誠幫助，邀請他們一同慶祝節日。
在第一個感恩節的這一天，印第安人和移民歡聚一堂，他們在黎明時鳴放禮炮，列隊走進一間用作教堂的屋子，虔誠地向上帝表達謝意，然後點起篝火舉行盛大宴會。第二天和第三天又舉行了摔跤、賽跑、唱歌、跳舞等活動。第一個感恩節非常成功。其中許多慶祝方式流傳了300多年，一直保留到今天。
初時感恩節沒有固定日期，由各州臨時決定。直到美國獨立後的1863年，林肯總統宣布感恩節為全國性節日。
習 俗
每逢感恩節這一天，美國舉國上下熱鬧非常，人們按照習俗前往教堂做感恩祈禱，城鄉市鎮到處舉行化裝遊行、戲劇表演和體育比賽等，學校和商店也都按規定放假體息。孩子們還模仿當年印第安人的模樣穿上離奇古怪的服裝，畫上臉譜或戴上面具到街上唱歌、吹喇叭。散居在他鄉外地的家人也會回家過節，一家人團團圍坐在一起，大嚼美味火雞。
同時，好客的美國人也忘不掉這一天邀請好友、單身漢或遠離家鄉的入共度佳節。從18世紀起，美國就開始出現一種給貧窮人家送一籃子食物的風俗。當時有一群年輕婦女想在一年中選一天專門做善事，認為選定感恩節是最恰當不過的。所以感恩節一到，她們就裝上滿清一籃食物親自送到窮人家。這件事遠近傳聞，不久就有許多人學著她們的樣子做起來。
美 食
美國人一年中最重視的一餐，就是感恩節的晚宴。在美國這個生活節奏很快，競爭激烈的國度里，平日的飲食極為簡單。但在感恩節的夜晚，家家戶戶都大辦筵席，物品之豐盛，令人咋舌。在節日的餐桌上，上至總統，下至庶民，火雞和南瓜餅都是必備的。因此，感恩節也被稱為「火雞節」。
感恩節的食品富有傳統特色。火雞是感恩節的傳統主菜，它原是棲息於北美洲的野禽，後經人們大批飼養，成為美味家禽，每隻可重達四五十磅。通常是把火雞肚子里塞上各種調料和拌好的食品，然後整隻烤出，雞皮烤成深棕色，由男主人用刀切成薄片分給大家。然後由各人自己澆上鹵汁，灑上鹽，味道十分鮮美。此外，感恩節的傳統食品還有甜山芋、玉蜀黍、南瓜餅、紅莓苔子果醬、自己烘烤的麵包及各種蔬菜和水果等。
游 戲
感恩節宴會後，有些家庭還常常做些傳統游戲。第一次感恩節，人們進行了跳舞、比賽等許多娛樂活動，其中有些一直流傳至今。有種游戲叫蔓越桔競賽，是把一個裝有蔓越桔的大碗放在地上，4-10名競賽者圍坐在周圍，每人發給針線一份。比賽一開始，他們先穿針線，然後把蔓越桔一個個串起來，3分鍾一到；誰串得最長，誰就得獎。至於穿得最慢的人，大家還開玩笑地發給他一個最差獎。
還有一種玉米游戲也很古老。據說這是為了紀念當年在糧食匱乏的情況下發給每個移民五個玉米而流傳下來的。游戲時。人們把五個玉米藏在屋裡，由大家分頭去找，找到玉米的五個人參加比賽，其他人在一旁觀看。比賽開始，五個人就迅速把玉米粒剝在一個碗里，誰先剝完誰得獎，然後由沒有參加比賽的人圍在碗旁邊猜裡面有多少玉米粒，猜得數量最接近的獎給一大意爆玉米花。
人們最喜愛的游戲要算南瓜賽跑了。比賽者用一把小勺推著南瓜跑，規則是絕對不能用手碰南瓜，先到終點者獲獎。比賽用的勺子越小，游戲就越有意思。
除去這些活動外，有些家庭在節日里驅車到鄉間去郊遊，或是坐飛機出去旅行，特別是當年移民們安家落戶的地方——普利茅斯港更是遊客們嚮往的所在。在那裡，可以看到按照「五月花」號仿製的船和普利茅斯石，還可以花幾個小時在移民村裡參觀。移民村是仿照當年的樣子建成的。參觀時，還有專門人員扮成請教徒同遊客們談天，給人以身臨其境的感覺。
多少年來，慶祝感恩節的習俗代代相傳，無論在岩石嶙峋的西海岸還是在風光旖旎的夏威夷，人們幾乎在以同樣的方式歡度感恩節，感恩節是不論何種信仰、何種民族的美國人都慶祝的傳統節日。
聖誕節
12月25日這一天，各教會都會分別舉行崇拜儀式。天主教與東正教舉行聖誕彌撤，新教舉行聖誕禮拜。有些教會的慶祝活動 從午夜零點就開始。除崇拜儀式外，還演出聖誕劇，表演 耶穌降生的故事。
聖誕起源
據基督教徒的聖書《聖經》說，上帝決定讓他的獨生子耶穌基督投生人間，找個母親，然後就在人間生活，以便人們能更好地了解上帝、學習熱愛上帝和更好地相互熱愛。「聖誕節」的意思是「慶祝基督」，慶祝一個年輕的猶太婦女瑪麗婭生下耶穌的時刻。
瑪麗婭已和木匠約瑟夫訂婚。可是，在他們同居之前，約瑟夫發現瑪麗婭已懷孕。因為約瑟夫是個正派的人，又不想把這件事說出去讓她丟臉，所以他想悄悄地和她分手。他正在考慮這事時，上帝的天使出現在他的夢中，對他說，「不要嘀咕了，把瑪麗婭娶回家。她懷的孩子來自聖靈。她將生下個男孩子，你們給孩子起名叫耶穌，因為他將從罪惡中拯救人們。」
盡管耶穌的確切生日並不清楚，大約是在2000年前，但是日歷按著假定日期把時間分為公元前（耶穌基督誕生前）和公元後（A. D. 是拉丁文縮寫，意思是「有了我們主--耶穌的年代」）。在公元後的頭三百年間，耶穌的生日是在不同的日子慶祝的。最後，在公元354年，教堂的領導人把12月25日定為耶穌基督的生日。
聖誕PARTY：
聖誕節必不可少的節目，有家庭式的，朋友式的，情人式的各種歌樣PARTY。一種友情，親情，愛情聚會的好時光。戴著聖誕帽，唱著聖誕歌，說說大家的聖誕願望。
聖誕大餐：
聖誕節作為一個隆重慶祝節日，不能少了好吃美味食品。聖誕節火雞大餐就是例牌主菜了，以前的人們或許會用微波爐自己做，現在的人們過節好多就是在外面餐館里用餐了，商家們也會利用機會賺顧客們的錢，當然還有許多聖誕節食品，姜餅、糖果等等了。
聖誕帽：
那是一頂紅色帽子，據說晚上戴上睡覺除了睡得安穩和有點暖外，第二天你還會發現在帽子里多了點心愛的人送的禮物。在狂歡夜它更是全場的主角，無論你去到那個角落，都會看到各式各樣的紅帽子，有的還有帽尖發亮的，有的是金光閃閃的。
聖誕襪：
最早以前是一對紅色的大襪子，多大都可以，因為聖誕襪是要用來裝禮物的，小朋友最喜歡的東西，晚上他們會將自己的襪子掛在床邊，等待第二天早上的收禮。要是有人聖誕節送小汽車那怎麼辦？那最好就叫他寫張支票放進襪子里好了。
聖誕卡：
是祝賀聖誕及新年的賀卡，上面印著關於耶穌降生故事的圖畫，以及「慶祝聖誕、新年快樂之類的祝願的話。
報佳音：
聖誕夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。教會組織一些聖詩班（或由信徒自發地組成）挨門挨戶地在門口或窗下唱聖誕頌歌，叫作「報佳音」，意思是再現當年天使向伯利恆郊外的牧羊人報告耶穌降生的喜訊。「報佳音」的人稱為Christmas Waits，這項活動往往要進行到天亮，人數越來越多，歌聲越來越大，大街小巷滿城盡是歌聲。
E. 誰能幫我寫一篇3000英美文化的論文（英語）
Why American Culture is Unique American culture is unique because it is nurtured, formed and developed under certain conditions, which are characteristically(特性)American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture. 1. Rough Environment The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So indivialism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遺產) of American. 2. Ethnic Diversity The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races, nationalities, and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of WASP+MM, that is, White, Anglo Saxon, Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to American and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values. 3. Plural religion The fundamental American belief in indivial freedom and the right of indivials to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has proced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity(基督教) is the dominant religion in American and Protestant (新教)is predominate(主導). Any indivials are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant, many new ones are formed and different explanations proce different sect of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in American than in other countries. 4. Current influence: Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes whose homes are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences(住所) every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule, but it also means protection of minority rights. There are certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenge activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history. From the facts above, we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated, formed and developed by the main three factors, rough environment, ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now

F. 英美文化British & American Culture
第一章 簡述英國與美國文化的異同
一 英美文化的同源性
英美文化的同源性是不可否認的，更確切地說，應該是美國文化秉承了英國文化的很多東西。英國文化是美國文化的根，源頭。這是因為美國歷史受英國的影響。
首先，在美國的早期移民中，英國人占非常大的比例。順其自然，他們就將英國的文化、英國人的性格特徵、英國人的思維方式都帶到了這一片新大陸來了。
其次，17世紀，英國在所有國家中率先進行資產階級革命，率先邁入到資本主義國家的行列。英國的經濟獲得長足的發展。不久，又在全球領先進行工業革命。英國勢力突飛猛進，稱霸全球。而美國是是它進行武力和文化侵略的一個重要地區。這樣的歷史致使英美文化的同源性。
二 兩國文化的相同之處
同源性使得這兩個國家的文化具有很多相同的地方。
1語言——都是英語
2宗教——以基督教新教為主
3社會交往的一些細節——女士優先，文明有禮，保護隱私，忌諱星期五，數字十三等
4節日——萬聖節、復活節等。
第二章 英美文化差異的表現
英美文化有非常多的相同之處。但是也有隨著歷史的演變，文化的傳承，獨立發展200多年的美國文化由於有不同的生態環境已經產生了諸多變異。今天我們再來英美文化，已經有很多區別了。
前幾天在網上看了一個帖子，談到了英美海歸人員的不同。對留英海歸的普遍評價是衣著體面、說話非常客氣、行為禮貌，按部就班、不急不躁，就是做事情比較酸，喜歡彎彎繞，經常為說一句不好聽的話，先繞上幾百個圈子。而對留美海歸的評價則可以用三句話概括就是「穿著土氣，說話牛氣，花錢小氣」。既是說留美的海歸一般穿著隨意，不大講究，即使有的場合他們也西裝革履，文質彬彬，很有些「紳士」的派頭。但如果一看到沒有旁人，這些「紳士」就原形畢露，鞋也脫了，領帶也鬆了，扣子也解了，腳也搭起來了。
這些海歸舉止言行的區別其實折射出了英美文化的差異。其實，英美文化的差異表現在很多方面：
一、 英美語言差異
盡管英美兩個國家都是講英語的，但是美國英語和英國英語是不相同的。英國人與美國人雖然說的都叫英語，但這兩種英語的差異還是很大的，學英語的人都知道，英語中有英式發音和美式發音兩種。英國人的英語，相對而言，發音比較清楚，連讀的部分較少，一般聽起來相對比較字正腔圓;而美國人說英語，則秉持這能省則省，能連就連的原則，因此，對於把英語作為第二語言的人來說，聽英國人的發音相比較下會舒服得多，而如果要習慣美音，恐怕只有在美國生活過的人才真正做到了。另外，兩國在字詞上的用法也有很多的不同
二、英美生活習俗差異
英國人和美國人在自己日常生活習俗上也有區別。
從服飾上看，英國2人非常講究衣著，講究紳士風度，西裝革履，皮鞋鋥亮。美國人則比較隨便，想穿什麼就是什麼，以自己舒適為主，不會去介意別人的評價，別人也不會去評價。有的英國女士接待黃皮膚朋友時，專門塗抹上黃色面霜，以表示對朋友的親近和尊重。美國人可方便多了，近幾年，美國流行大花褲衩，校內校外，老老少少，都少不了它的影子。但這也並不是說，他們到處隨意，在一些場合，他們也是西裝革履，文質彬彬，很有些「紳士」的派頭。但如果一看到沒有旁人，這些「紳士」就原形畢露，鞋也脫了，領帶也鬆了，扣子也解了，腳也搭起來了。
從飲食上看兩國的美食都像英語一樣，是一個大雜燴，廣泛吸收了世界各地不同文化的影響。眾所周知，英國是一個聚集了諸多紳士淑女的地方，而英國的飲食，也處處散發著英國上流社會應有的高貴氣質，從選材到烹飪，再到餐桌上的一言一行，英國人無不將細致發揮到了極致。特別在餐桌禮儀上，不能在餐桌上說話，不能有餐具敲擊的聲音，刀叉的握法……幾乎所有我們所了解的法式西餐的規則都被英國人所遵守而同樣是吃飯，到了美國人身上，則就顯得隨意了許多。美國式飲食不講究精細，追求快捷方便，也不奢華，比較大眾化。一日三餐都比較隨便。老美的最愛便是所謂的垃圾食品。對於生活節奏極快的老美來說，五分鍾就能搞定的漢堡薯條顯然要比規矩多多的西式大餐要吸引人的多。至於這種飲食習慣導致的結果，便是老美的街頭行走的人中，大腹便便者顯然要比標准身材的人多得多。這樣的飲食習慣某種程度上也折射了美國人的生活，雷厲風行，不向英國人那般拖沓，那樣注重細節。
另外美國人除了過和英國人一樣的節日外，還有自己的感恩節等。
三、美國人的性格和英國人也是不相同的。
有人把美國人的性格概括成：熱情、開朗、冒險、創新、奔放活剝、直白的幽默
相對應英國人的性格特點是：冷漠、含蓄、內斂 、保守、理性嚴謹、紳士的幽默
狄更斯被譽為英國幽默大師。像所有的喜劇大師一樣，狄更斯讓幽默顛覆人們的臆斷，無論這些臆斷是一般的還是特殊的，都深深地影響了英國一代又一代人，已然成為英國傳統的一部分。他利用這點，讓讀者遠離了理智和理論，把由衷的同情心理和快樂態度抬到了最高的道德地位，用帶笑的情感照亮了他那個了無生氣的商業時代，召喚人們回到歡笑和仁愛中來。狄更斯的幽默影響了很多後來的文學家。比如，中國著名作家老舍他作品中的幽默就深受狄更斯的影響。看了狄更斯的幽默，是心領神會的幽幽一笑。
一天，英國作家狄更斯（1812--1870年）坐在江邊垂釣，一個陌生人走到他的面前問他：「怎麼，您在釣魚？」「是啊，」狄更斯隨口回答，「今天運氣真槽，這時候了，還不見一條呢。可是昨天也是在這里，我鈞了15條呢！」「是這樣嗎？」那人說，「可是您知道我是誰嗎？我是專門管這段江面的，這兒禁止釣魚！」說著，他從口袋裡掏出發票本，要記名罰款。狄更斯連忙反問：「您知道我是誰嗎？我是專門負責虛構故事的，虛構故事是作家的事業，所以，不能罰我的款！」
但是狄更斯的幽默被美國著名作家馬克吐溫所不屑。馬克吐溫曾經說他在狄更斯的作品中讀不出什麼讓人啼笑皆非的東西來。其實，馬克吐溫的說法有些偏頗。因為他所理解的幽默是美國式的幽默。他本人也是美式幽默的代表人物。他以其幽默在美國甚至國家上享有盛譽。馬克吐溫的幽默中含有諷刺、機智、揶揄、玩笑，可以讓你笑得流眼淚，同時讓你笑得心顫。如同吃了一顆橄欖，甜中帶澀。
一次，美國作家馬克·吐溫到英國一個小鎮的旅館住宿，在旅客登記本上簽名時，發現在他之前有一位有名望的旅客是這樣簽名的：「馮·布特福德公爵及其眾多仆從。」 馬克·吐溫笑了笑，在旅客登記本上寫道：「馬克·吐溫及其一隻箱子。」
英國人和美國人也互不服氣，英國人說美國人沒有歷史，而且目中無人；美國人說英國人保守刻板，不懂未來。
四、英美的教育理念不同。
美國人孜孜不倦的追求平等和自由，體現在教育上就是美國的教育體制具有多元性、開放性（向不同層次學習能力和經濟條件的人開放）、國際性、靈活性（各種不同性質的學校滿足不同目標的人的需要，國家沒有統一的教育制度）的特點，使美國教育既能滿足不同人群、不同層次的人們的需要，確保教育公平和機會均等，又能滿足並充分發揮不同受教育對象的個性特點，使教育充滿活力和生機。
而英國人的保守與嚴謹，體現在教育上就是嚴謹的學風，完善的教育體系。它擁有一套嚴格的質量監控體制，各大院校的教學質量評估與科研水平評估結果向全世界公布，英國的高等教育會定期受到檢查。英國大學的科研水平長期保持了一個很高水平，也是與這個質量監控體制分不開的，許多開創性的研究發明起始於英國，比如第一隻克隆羊，就培養於愛丁堡大學。英國教育的質量也體現在對學生的嚴格考核上，有的專業可以用「殘酷」來形容，被淘汰而拿不到學位的也大有人在，英國老師通常不會因為學生只差一點而放學生一馬，他們的職業道德和敬業風度有力地保證了教育質量。
兩個國家，兩種文化，兩種截然不同的教育風格，竟都共同代表著世界教育領域最頂尖的教育水準，這與政府民眾對教育的深刻認識不無關系。美國人認為，一個人不管處於什麼境地，有兩件事是必須做的，並伴隨著一生：一是受教育，一是信宗教。美國人對教育的重視，達到了與信仰宗教一樣的虔誠境界。而英國教育標榜自己的口號是：The Best You Can Be——你能成就極至，反映出了他們的教育理念和始終追求的信仰。在這種意識下使得不論是美國教育還是英國教育，都不僅僅是作為一種純粹的功利目的而進行的活動，且具有了宗教般虔誠的信仰，近乎是一項神聖的宗教行為了。
五、英美的企業文化不同。
美國企業文化強調的是創新，而英國卻是保守，美國企業文化認為人人都可以實現個人價值，英國企業文化卻將講求等級觀念，美國企業文化認為競爭是企業的生命源泉，而英國企業卻排斥競爭。這又導致了美國企業和英國企業發展前景的差別。
第三章 造成英美文化差異的原因
英美文化在其各自精髓上為什麼會有如此巨大差異呢？我認為是文化的生態環境不同。
一、地理環境不同。
二者所處的地理位置不同，一個是歐洲大陸，一個是美洲大陸。英國經過長期的開發，已經非常富裕。但是美國剛開始的時候是來到一片完全陌生的大陸上，首批移民被稱為拓荒者，所以，他們要敢於冒險。如果沒有冒險精神，他們也就無法生存，更談不上發展。
此外，整個的歐洲文化和美洲文化的差別也給他們帶來了影響。
二、人文環境的不同。
人文環境的不同是導致兩國文化差異的主要原因。
英國是一個有著悠久的歷史傳承的歐洲傳統國家。其社會長期存在等級差別，一直有君主存在。所以，英國人喜歡懷舊，保守，具有紳士風度，等等。這些方面是需要歷史的沉澱和積累的，常若沒有歷史的沉澱和積累是不可能實現的。而美國恰恰是一個沒有很深厚的歷史積淀的年輕國家。所以，美國人勇於創新，強調個人價值。因為沒有很多的傳統的東西去給他們懷念和繼承，需要他們去開拓。從另一方面講，也沒有很多的束縛，他們可以放開手腳大膽創新。
另外，兩個國家的人口組成也有區別。美國是移民國家，來自世界上所有國家和地區的人都在美國。所以，美國的文化呈現出多面性的特點。所以，美國文化的接納性也很強，包容性很強，可以接受和吸取一切文化因子。對外來文化呈現出的是一種開放的態度。這種文化影響到美國人身上，就是美國人十分熱情，開朗，善於接受不同的人和事。但是，英國的人口結構相較於美國而言，顯得單一很多。所以，英國不太容易接受外來的文化。反映到英國人性格上便是比較內斂和含蓄

美國人與媒體：
In the last 50 years the media influence has grown exponentially with the advance of technology, first there was the telegraph, then the radio, the newspaper, magazines, television and now the internet.
We live in a society that depends on information and communication to keep moving in the right direction and do our daily activities like work, entertainment, health care, ecation, personal relationships, traveling and anything else that we have to do.
A common person in the city usually wakes up checks the tv news or newspaper, goes to work, makes a few phone calls, eats with their family when possible and makes his decisions based on the information that he has either from their co workers, news, tv, friends, family, financial reports, etc.
What we need to be aware is that most of our decisions, beliefs and values are based on what we know for a fact, our assumptions and our own experience. In our work we usually know what we have to do based on our experience and studies, however on our daily lives we rely on the media to get the current news and facts about what is important and what we should be aware of.
We have put our trust on the media as an authority to give us news, entertainment and ecation. However, the influence of mass media on our kids, teenagers and society is so big that we should know how it really works.
Of all the media distribution channels the most influential has been the television, we are constantly exposed to thousands of images of violence, advertising, sex, celebrities and much more, in fact a its known that a child is exposed to about 40,000 ads a year.
The media is basically dominated by five major companies they are:Time Warner
VIACOM Vivendi Universal Walt Disney News Corp
Those 5 companies own 95% of all the media that we get every day.
They also own integrated telecommunications, wireless phones, video games softwares, electronic media, the music instry and more.
Years ago there was more diversity in companies, but they have merged so now they are just a few and they have the power to shape the opinion and beliefs of us and our kids. So its important to be aware of what your kids are exposed to every day and you should also try to look at things from different perspectives and not just from the one the media gives you.

I. 英美文化差異 英語作文
1. Different social attitudes: The british are, in some ways, less conservative than Americans - the drinking age is 18, not 21, homosexual civil unions are legal, and abortion hasn't been a serious political issue in years. Mixing religion and politics is extremely rare in the UK. On the other hand, there are stricter controls on some things - it's much harder to get a driving licence, and the age requirement is higher than in most states, there are speed cameras everwhere, CCTV cameras in many public places (although they may or may not be working), and carrying weapons or other objects for "self defence" is illegal (in particular, note that pepper spray is illegal).
Getting into a debate about the right to bear arms will be very time consuming, and may also lead people to think that you're a gun-nut before they've got to know you properly.
Smoking in enclosed public places is illegal - that includes pubs, the underground, train stations... more or less any non-residential building actually... (similar to New York, so not so much of a cultural difference there).
2. The British apparently have a wider vocabulary of swear words than Americans. While most Britons will use them fairly freely in a social setting, things are a lot more reserved in formal settings & talking to strangers.
3. Pubs. I've not yet encountered an American "pub" which bears more than a passing resemblance to a typical British pub. People might go to a pub just to drink and socialise, have a pub lunch, or as part of an attempt to get alchohol poisioning (otherwise know as a "pub crawl"), as well as to watch sporting fixtures (which seems to be the main purpose in America). Going to the pub does not usually imply getting drunk. Although the drinking age is 18, bartenders are supposed to ID anyone who looks under 21.
4. Roads. Though I doubt your friend will do much driving, he should be aware of the following things: Most cars in the UK have manual transmission. Cars are smaller and more efficient, petrol is more expensive. Speed limits are higher, but enforced more rigourously. Driving in London is not worth it. Central London has a congestion charge, and is very congested, and the major motorways around London are thick with traffic at peak times. Roundabouts ("traffic circles") are very common and are used at motorway junctions. In rural areas, it's not uncommon to drive down narrow single track roads with tall hedges on either side.
5. Ecational stuff: The UK ecation system works differently, as he's probably aware. Asking people about their "High School" "GPA" "Major" or "Minor" will make people think he assumes that things work the same in the UK as in the US. In the UK, "High School" is roughly equivalent to secondary school and college (college is not used to mean university). Important exams are GCSEs and A levels, which are graded with letters and related to specific subjects. There are no majors and minors in the UK university system - there's just whatever degree you're studying.

Why American Culture is Unique
American culture is unique because it is nurtured, formed and developed under certain conditions, which are characteristically(特性)American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.
1. Rough Environment
The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So indivialism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遺產) of American.
2. Ethnic Diversity
The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races, nationalities, and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of WASP+MM, that is, White, Anglo Saxon, Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to American and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.
3. Plural religion
The fundamental American belief in indivial freedom and the right of indivials to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has proced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity(基督教) is the dominant religion in American and Protestant (新教)is predominate(主導). Any indivials are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant, many new ones are formed and different explanations proce different sect of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in American than in other countries.
4. Current influence:
Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes whose homes are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences(住所) every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule, but it also means protection of minority rights. There are certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenge activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.
From the facts above, we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated, formed and developed by the main three factors, rough environment, ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.
