Culture
Immigration is one of the defining characteristics of America's national identity. There are also Native Americans and African Americans.
Americans are given freedom of worship, common faiths include Protestantism, Catholicism and Judaism, and among others. There are indigenous faiths as well, such as Christian Scientists, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.
The language most commonly spoken is American English. However, Spanish is spoken in parts of southern California, New Mexico, Texas and Miami. There are also 400,000 speakers of Native American.
Modern American culture is a mass culture garnished with 15 minutes of fame. It owes as much to marketing savvy, communications technology and mass-production techniques as it does to artists and entertainers.
The global distribution of American movies and TV shows has shaped the world's perception of the country to a huge degree.
The American music industry is the worlds biggest; it includes American pop, African American influences, including blues, jazz and hip-hop and Rap.
After WWII, the focus of the international art world shifted from Paris to New York. This created the first distinct American painting style, abstract expressionism.
When we think of US cities, we think of skyscrapers, those architectural testaments to market forces and American optimism. Chicago is a living museum of high-rise development. New York boasts its fair share of stunners too. Despite increasing homogenization, rural America retains its idiosyncrasies, and distinctive vernacular architectural styles persist in New England (clapboard), California (Spanish Mission) and New Mexico (adobe).
Popular American sports include homegrown games such as baseball, football and basketball and also Soccer and ice hockey.
