英美文化背景知识
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(课程), 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(祈祷) 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(评价) 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(综合技术大学).
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(证书) 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(仪式)
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(文凭) 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(场合) associated(和...有关) 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(组织) informal dances for the older students.

英语国家中传统的文娱和体育活动:棒球、橄榄球等；英国:4月23日/7月---戏剧节--为纪念莎士比亚而举行的盛大文娱活动
英语国家中重要的节假日:圣诞节---12月25日，情人节----2月14日；感恩节—11月的第四个星期四开始，持续四天
感恩节
每年11月的最后一个星期四是感恩节 (Thanksgiving Day) 。感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日，也是美国人合家欢聚的节日，因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。
感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难以想象的困难，处在饥寒交迫之中，冬天过去时，活下来的移民只有50来人。这时，心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。
在第一个感恩节的这一天，印第安人和移民欢聚一堂，他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮，列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子，虔诚地向上帝表达谢意，然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动。第一个感恩节非常成功。其中许多庆祝方式流传了300多年，一直保留到今天。
初时感恩节没有固定日期，由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年，林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日。
习 俗
每逢感恩节这一天，美国举国上下热闹非常，人们按照习俗前往教堂做感恩祈祷，城乡市镇到处举行化装游行、戏剧表演和体育比赛等，学校和商店也都按规定放假体息。孩子们还模仿当年印第安人的模样穿上离奇古怪的服装，画上脸谱或戴上面具到街上唱歌、吹喇叭。散居在他乡外地的家人也会回家过节，一家人团团围坐在一起，大嚼美味火鸡。
同时，好客的美国人也忘不掉这一天邀请好友、单身汉或远离家乡的入共度佳节。从18世纪起，美国就开始出现一种给贫穷人家送一篮子食物的风俗。当时有一群年轻妇女想在一年中选一天专门做善事，认为选定感恩节是最恰当不过的。所以感恩节一到，她们就装上满清一篮食物亲自送到穷人家。这件事远近传闻，不久就有许多人学着她们的样子做起来。
美 食
美国人一年中最重视的一餐，就是感恩节的晚宴。在美国这个生活节奏很快，竞争激烈的国度里，平日的饮食极为简单。但在感恩节的夜晚，家家户户都大办筵席，物品之丰盛，令人咋舌。在节日的餐桌上，上至总统，下至庶民，火鸡和南瓜饼都是必备的。因此，感恩节也被称为“火鸡节”。
感恩节的食品富有传统特色。火鸡是感恩节的传统主菜，它原是栖息于北美洲的野禽，后经人们大批饲养，成为美味家禽，每只可重达四五十磅。通常是把火鸡肚子里塞上各种调料和拌好的食品，然后整只烤出，鸡皮烤成深棕色，由男主人用刀切成薄片分给大家。然后由各人自己浇上卤汁，洒上盐，味道十分鲜美。此外，感恩节的传统食品还有甜山芋、玉蜀黍、南瓜饼、红莓苔子果酱、自己烘烤的面包及各种蔬菜和水果等。
游 戏
感恩节宴会后，有些家庭还常常做些传统游戏。第一次感恩节，人们进行了跳舞、比赛等许多娱乐活动，其中有些一直流传至今。有种游戏叫蔓越桔竞赛，是把一个装有蔓越桔的大碗放在地上，4-10名竞赛者围坐在周围，每人发给针线一份。比赛一开始，他们先穿针线，然后把蔓越桔一个个串起来，3分钟一到；谁串得最长，谁就得奖。至于穿得最慢的人，大家还开玩笑地发给他一个最差奖。
还有一种玉米游戏也很古老。据说这是为了纪念当年在粮食匮乏的情况下发给每个移民五个玉米而流传下来的。游戏时。人们把五个玉米藏在屋里，由大家分头去找，找到玉米的五个人参加比赛，其他人在一旁观看。比赛开始，五个人就迅速把玉米粒剥在一个碗里，谁先剥完谁得奖，然后由没有参加比赛的人围在碗旁边猜里面有多少玉米粒，猜得数量最接近的奖给一大意爆玉米花。
人们最喜爱的游戏要算南瓜赛跑了。比赛者用一把小勺推着南瓜跑，规则是绝对不能用手碰南瓜，先到终点者获奖。比赛用的勺子越小，游戏就越有意思。
除去这些活动外，有些家庭在节日里驱车到乡间去郊游，或是坐飞机出去旅行，特别是当年移民们安家落户的地方——普利茅斯港更是游客们向往的所在。在那里，可以看到按照“五月花”号仿制的船和普利茅斯石，还可以花几个小时在移民村里参观。移民村是仿照当年的样子建成的。参观时，还有专门人员扮成请教徒同游客们谈天，给人以身临其境的感觉。
多少年来，庆祝感恩节的习俗代代相传，无论在岩石嶙峋的西海岸还是在风光旖旎的夏威夷，人们几乎在以同样的方式欢度感恩节，感恩节是不论何种信仰、何种民族的美国人都庆祝的传统节日。
圣诞节
12月25日这一天，各教会都会分别举行崇拜仪式。天主教与东正教举行圣诞弥撤，新教举行圣诞礼拜。有些教会的庆祝活动 从午夜零点就开始。除崇拜仪式外，还演出圣诞剧，表演 耶稣降生的故事。
圣诞起源
据基督教徒的圣书《圣经》说，上帝决定让他的独生子耶稣基督投生人间，找个母亲，然后就在人间生活，以便人们能更好地了解上帝、学习热爱上帝和更好地相互热爱。“圣诞节”的意思是“庆祝基督”，庆祝一个年轻的犹太妇女玛丽娅生下耶稣的时刻。
玛丽娅已和木匠约瑟夫订婚。可是，在他们同居之前，约瑟夫发现玛丽娅已怀孕。因为约瑟夫是个正派的人，又不想把这件事说出去让她丢脸，所以他想悄悄地和她分手。他正在考虑这事时，上帝的天使出现在他的梦中，对他说，“不要嘀咕了，把玛丽娅娶回家。她怀的孩子来自圣灵。她将生下个男孩子，你们给孩子起名叫耶稣，因为他将从罪恶中拯救人们。”
尽管耶稣的确切生日并不清楚，大约是在2000年前，但是日历按着假定日期把时间分为公元前（耶稣基督诞生前）和公元后（A. D. 是拉丁文缩写，意思是“有了我们主--耶稣的年代”）。在公元后的头三百年间，耶稣的生日是在不同的日子庆祝的。最后，在公元354年，教堂的领导人把12月25日定为耶稣基督的生日。
圣诞PARTY：
圣诞节必不可少的节目，有家庭式的，朋友式的，情人式的各种歌样PARTY。一种友情，亲情，爱情聚会的好时光。戴着圣诞帽，唱着圣诞歌，说说大家的圣诞愿望。
圣诞大餐：
圣诞节作为一个隆重庆祝节日，不能少了好吃美味食品。圣诞节火鸡大餐就是例牌主菜了，以前的人们或许会用微波炉自己做，现在的人们过节好多就是在外面餐馆里用餐了，商家们也会利用机会赚顾客们的钱，当然还有许多圣诞节食品，姜饼、糖果等等了。
圣诞帽：
那是一顶红色帽子，据说晚上戴上睡觉除了睡得安稳和有点暖外，第二天你还会发现在帽子里多了点心爱的人送的礼物。在狂欢夜它更是全场的主角，无论你去到那个角落，都会看到各式各样的红帽子，有的还有帽尖发亮的，有的是金光闪闪的。
圣诞袜：
最早以前是一对红色的大袜子，多大都可以，因为圣诞袜是要用来装礼物的，小朋友最喜欢的东西，晚上他们会将自己的袜子挂在床边，等待第二天早上的收礼。要是有人圣诞节送小汽车那怎么办？那最好就叫他写张支票放进袜子里好了。
圣诞卡：
是祝贺圣诞及新年的贺卡，上面印着关于耶稣降生故事的图画，以及“庆祝圣诞、新年快乐之类的祝愿的话。
报佳音：
圣诞夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。教会组织一些圣诗班（或由信徒自发地组成）挨门挨户地在门口或窗下唱圣诞颂歌，叫作“报佳音”，意思是再现当年天使向伯利恒郊外的牧羊人报告耶稣降生的喜讯。“报佳音”的人称为Christmas Waits，这项活动往往要进行到天亮，人数越来越多，歌声越来越大，大街小巷满城尽是歌声。
E. 谁能帮我写一篇3000英美文化的论文（英语）
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(遗产) 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(主导). 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 简述英国与美国文化的异同
一 英美文化的同源性
英美文化的同源性是不可否认的，更确切地说，应该是美国文化秉承了英国文化的很多东西。英国文化是美国文化的根，源头。这是因为美国历史受英国的影响。
首先，在美国的早期移民中，英国人占非常大的比例。顺其自然，他们就将英国的文化、英国人的性格特征、英国人的思维方式都带到了这一片新大陆来了。
其次，17世纪，英国在所有国家中率先进行资产阶级革命，率先迈入到资本主义国家的行列。英国的经济获得长足的发展。不久，又在全球领先进行工业革命。英国势力突飞猛进，称霸全球。而美国是是它进行武力和文化侵略的一个重要地区。这样的历史致使英美文化的同源性。
二 两国文化的相同之处
同源性使得这两个国家的文化具有很多相同的地方。
1语言——都是英语
2宗教——以基督教新教为主
3社会交往的一些细节——女士优先，文明有礼，保护隐私，忌讳星期五，数字十三等
4节日——万圣节、复活节等。
第二章 英美文化差异的表现
英美文化有非常多的相同之处。但是也有随着历史的演变，文化的传承，独立发展200多年的美国文化由于有不同的生态环境已经产生了诸多变异。今天我们再来英美文化，已经有很多区别了。
前几天在网上看了一个帖子，谈到了英美海归人员的不同。对留英海归的普遍评价是衣着体面、说话非常客气、行为礼貌，按部就班、不急不躁，就是做事情比较酸，喜欢弯弯绕，经常为说一句不好听的话，先绕上几百个圈子。而对留美海归的评价则可以用三句话概括就是“穿着土气，说话牛气，花钱小气”。既是说留美的海归一般穿着随意，不大讲究，即使有的场合他们也西装革履，文质彬彬，很有些“绅士”的派头。但如果一看到没有旁人，这些“绅士”就原形毕露，鞋也脱了，领带也松了，扣子也解了，脚也搭起来了。
这些海归举止言行的区别其实折射出了英美文化的差异。其实，英美文化的差异表现在很多方面：
一、 英美语言差异
尽管英美两个国家都是讲英语的，但是美国英语和英国英语是不相同的。英国人与美国人虽然说的都叫英语，但这两种英语的差异还是很大的，学英语的人都知道，英语中有英式发音和美式发音两种。英国人的英语，相对而言，发音比较清楚，连读的部分较少，一般听起来相对比较字正腔圆;而美国人说英语，则秉持这能省则省，能连就连的原则，因此，对于把英语作为第二语言的人来说，听英国人的发音相比较下会舒服得多，而如果要习惯美音，恐怕只有在美国生活过的人才真正做到了。另外，两国在字词上的用法也有很多的不同
二、英美生活习俗差异
英国人和美国人在自己日常生活习俗上也有区别。
从服饰上看，英国2人非常讲究衣着，讲究绅士风度，西装革履，皮鞋锃亮。美国人则比较随便，想穿什么就是什么，以自己舒适为主，不会去介意别人的评价，别人也不会去评价。有的英国女士接待黄皮肤朋友时，专门涂抹上黄色面霜，以表示对朋友的亲近和尊重。美国人可方便多了，近几年，美国流行大花裤衩，校内校外，老老少少，都少不了它的影子。但这也并不是说，他们到处随意，在一些场合，他们也是西装革履，文质彬彬，很有些“绅士”的派头。但如果一看到没有旁人，这些“绅士”就原形毕露，鞋也脱了，领带也松了，扣子也解了，脚也搭起来了。
从饮食上看两国的美食都像英语一样，是一个大杂烩，广泛吸收了世界各地不同文化的影响。众所周知，英国是一个聚集了诸多绅士淑女的地方，而英国的饮食，也处处散发着英国上流社会应有的高贵气质，从选材到烹饪，再到餐桌上的一言一行，英国人无不将细致发挥到了极致。特别在餐桌礼仪上，不能在餐桌上说话，不能有餐具敲击的声音，刀叉的握法……几乎所有我们所了解的法式西餐的规则都被英国人所遵守而同样是吃饭，到了美国人身上，则就显得随意了许多。美国式饮食不讲究精细，追求快捷方便，也不奢华，比较大众化。一日三餐都比较随便。老美的最爱便是所谓的垃圾食品。对于生活节奏极快的老美来说，五分钟就能搞定的汉堡薯条显然要比规矩多多的西式大餐要吸引人的多。至于这种饮食习惯导致的结果，便是老美的街头行走的人中，大腹便便者显然要比标准身材的人多得多。这样的饮食习惯某种程度上也折射了美国人的生活，雷厉风行，不向英国人那般拖沓，那样注重细节。
另外美国人除了过和英国人一样的节日外，还有自己的感恩节等。
三、美国人的性格和英国人也是不相同的。
有人把美国人的性格概括成：热情、开朗、冒险、创新、奔放活剥、直白的幽默
相对应英国人的性格特点是：冷漠、含蓄、内敛 、保守、理性严谨、绅士的幽默
狄更斯被誉为英国幽默大师。像所有的喜剧大师一样，狄更斯让幽默颠覆人们的臆断，无论这些臆断是一般的还是特殊的，都深深地影响了英国一代又一代人，已然成为英国传统的一部分。他利用这点，让读者远离了理智和理论，把由衷的同情心理和快乐态度抬到了最高的道德地位，用带笑的情感照亮了他那个了无生气的商业时代，召唤人们回到欢笑和仁爱中来。狄更斯的幽默影响了很多后来的文学家。比如，中国著名作家老舍他作品中的幽默就深受狄更斯的影响。看了狄更斯的幽默，是心领神会的幽幽一笑。
一天，英国作家狄更斯（1812--1870年）坐在江边垂钓，一个陌生人走到他的面前问他：“怎么，您在钓鱼？”“是啊，”狄更斯随口回答，“今天运气真槽，这时候了，还不见一条呢。可是昨天也是在这里，我钧了15条呢！”“是这样吗？”那人说，“可是您知道我是谁吗？我是专门管这段江面的，这儿禁止钓鱼！”说着，他从口袋里掏出发票本，要记名罚款。狄更斯连忙反问：“您知道我是谁吗？我是专门负责虚构故事的，虚构故事是作家的事业，所以，不能罚我的款！”
但是狄更斯的幽默被美国著名作家马克吐温所不屑。马克吐温曾经说他在狄更斯的作品中读不出什么让人啼笑皆非的东西来。其实，马克吐温的说法有些偏颇。因为他所理解的幽默是美国式的幽默。他本人也是美式幽默的代表人物。他以其幽默在美国甚至国家上享有盛誉。马克吐温的幽默中含有讽刺、机智、揶揄、玩笑，可以让你笑得流眼泪，同时让你笑得心颤。如同吃了一颗橄榄，甜中带涩。
一次，美国作家马克·吐温到英国一个小镇的旅馆住宿，在旅客登记本上签名时，发现在他之前有一位有名望的旅客是这样签名的：“冯·布特福德公爵及其众多仆从。” 马克·吐温笑了笑，在旅客登记本上写道：“马克·吐温及其一只箱子。”
英国人和美国人也互不服气，英国人说美国人没有历史，而且目中无人；美国人说英国人保守刻板，不懂未来。
四、英美的教育理念不同。
美国人孜孜不倦的追求平等和自由，体现在教育上就是美国的教育体制具有多元性、开放性（向不同层次学习能力和经济条件的人开放）、国际性、灵活性（各种不同性质的学校满足不同目标的人的需要，国家没有统一的教育制度）的特点，使美国教育既能满足不同人群、不同层次的人们的需要，确保教育公平和机会均等，又能满足并充分发挥不同受教育对象的个性特点，使教育充满活力和生机。
而英国人的保守与严谨，体现在教育上就是严谨的学风，完善的教育体系。它拥有一套严格的质量监控体制，各大院校的教学质量评估与科研水平评估结果向全世界公布，英国的高等教育会定期受到检查。英国大学的科研水平长期保持了一个很高水平，也是与这个质量监控体制分不开的，许多开创性的研究发明起始于英国，比如第一只克隆羊，就培养于爱丁堡大学。英国教育的质量也体现在对学生的严格考核上，有的专业可以用“残酷”来形容，被淘汰而拿不到学位的也大有人在，英国老师通常不会因为学生只差一点而放学生一马，他们的职业道德和敬业风度有力地保证了教育质量。
两个国家，两种文化，两种截然不同的教育风格，竟都共同代表着世界教育领域最顶尖的教育水准，这与政府民众对教育的深刻认识不无关系。美国人认为，一个人不管处于什么境地，有两件事是必须做的，并伴随着一生：一是受教育，一是信宗教。美国人对教育的重视，达到了与信仰宗教一样的虔诚境界。而英国教育标榜自己的口号是：The Best You Can Be——你能成就极至，反映出了他们的教育理念和始终追求的信仰。在这种意识下使得不论是美国教育还是英国教育，都不仅仅是作为一种纯粹的功利目的而进行的活动，且具有了宗教般虔诚的信仰，近乎是一项神圣的宗教行为了。
五、英美的企业文化不同。
美国企业文化强调的是创新，而英国却是保守，美国企业文化认为人人都可以实现个人价值，英国企业文化却将讲求等级观念，美国企业文化认为竞争是企业的生命源泉，而英国企业却排斥竞争。这又导致了美国企业和英国企业发展前景的差别。
第三章 造成英美文化差异的原因
英美文化在其各自精髓上为什么会有如此巨大差异呢？我认为是文化的生态环境不同。
一、地理环境不同。
二者所处的地理位置不同，一个是欧洲大陆，一个是美洲大陆。英国经过长期的开发，已经非常富裕。但是美国刚开始的时候是来到一片完全陌生的大陆上，首批移民被称为拓荒者，所以，他们要敢于冒险。如果没有冒险精神，他们也就无法生存，更谈不上发展。
此外，整个的欧洲文化和美洲文化的差别也给他们带来了影响。
二、人文环境的不同。
人文环境的不同是导致两国文化差异的主要原因。
英国是一个有着悠久的历史传承的欧洲传统国家。其社会长期存在等级差别，一直有君主存在。所以，英国人喜欢怀旧，保守，具有绅士风度，等等。这些方面是需要历史的沉淀和积累的，常若没有历史的沉淀和积累是不可能实现的。而美国恰恰是一个没有很深厚的历史积淀的年轻国家。所以，美国人勇于创新，强调个人价值。因为没有很多的传统的东西去给他们怀念和继承，需要他们去开拓。从另一方面讲，也没有很多的束缚，他们可以放开手脚大胆创新。
另外，两个国家的人口组成也有区别。美国是移民国家，来自世界上所有国家和地区的人都在美国。所以，美国的文化呈现出多面性的特点。所以，美国文化的接纳性也很强，包容性很强，可以接受和吸取一切文化因子。对外来文化呈现出的是一种开放的态度。这种文化影响到美国人身上，就是美国人十分热情，开朗，善于接受不同的人和事。但是，英国的人口结构相较于美国而言，显得单一很多。所以，英国不太容易接受外来的文化。反映到英国人性格上便是比较内敛和含蓄

美国人与媒体：
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. 英美文化差异 英语作文
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.
这是比较详细的版本，可以自己删改一下，或者google一下difference between british and american culture，会有更多的资料。希望能帮到你！

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(遗产) 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(主导). 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.
