American culture that has the global implications

Introduction

The picture outline of our lives is culture. Our language, food, clothing, and behaviors, just to name a few things, are the colors of that picture. The details of the picture are the specifics of our individual cultures. For example, Henderson (1994) notes that several cultures speak English. However, Americanized English, the English spoken in England, and the English spoken in Australia are different. For each of these there is an English language foundation, but each of these cultures provides its own shade to the color of the English language in its cultural picture.

Such thinkers looked to so-called primitive societies and communities outside of European urban centers on whom they projected their nostalgia for a simpler way of life that modern industrial civilization had lost.

Those deemed primitive included non-Western societies such as those in Africa, the Middle East, Native America, and Oceania; certain people even in Western culture such as women, children, and the insane, those in remote parts of Europe such as France's Brittany or Scandinavia's Lapland; and to earlier periods in European history such as medieval and pre-classical periods that possessed primitive qualities or primitive characteristics. Recent theorists of critical theory and visual culture have argued that the idea of the primitive is a relationship of binary oppositions rather than a category with an essential set of characteristics. Primitivism establishes the identity of Europeans as dominant and civilized, compared with those considered inferior and uncivilized other.

Aspects of Culture

Culture shock is used to define negative emotions such as frustration, disorientation, anger, or anxiety caused by the stress of being in an unfamiliar place (Bema & Ward, 2005). Deculturation occurs when individuals of a nondominant culture become alienated from the ...
