Regional Differences in the 1800s The Election of 1800 realigned America with Jefferson’s Republican platform after a continuous stretch of Federalist control. Although he was an advocate for states’ rights, his saying, “We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists,” reflected an equally strong desire to unite the country, despite internal political divisions.

The implications of such movement showed no pity for the indigenous people and further forced Indians beyond the limits of their native lands.

It is American culture to be mindful of how comfortable others feel around us. “Depending on your country of origin you may think nothing of bumping shoulders with someone in a crowded market or leaning in close to hear what a person is saying.
Imagine yourself 150 years ago when whites and blacks were separated, but you lived in a city where color didn 't matter. In Longtown, Ohio black isn 't black and white isn 't white, mixed marriages have been happening for about two years, and the skin colors have changed. The article “Ohio town holds rare history: Races mix freely for nearly 200 years,” by Washington Post, shows the racial difference the town holds compared to the areas around them. It is time for these people to embrace their being and help the world, showing no matter the race, or skin color we all are the same.
Surprisingly Dupuis found that, “there are no significant differences in over all culture” between the defined southern region and the northern region (Dupuis 107). It is difficult to know what single category distinguishes the results of, no difference but the results were not all against southern hospitality. “Study suggest that there were cultural differences found… between the sexes in a long term perspective” (Dupuis 107). This could indicate that between different sexes there is a cultural difference between the uses of manners. Although the study found no significant differences in cultural regions, the five constructs used by Dupuis were also not the exact dimensions of southern hospitality.
I was born and raised up in South Korea for twenty years, and thus I know Korean culture very well. I also understand American culture as well, because I lived and worked with Americans for four years. I decided to choose this topic, because in my experience, I have noticed a lots of differences between Korean culture and American culture; for example how Korean or American treat older people, how Korean or American act in the gym, and about the differences in foods. I picked those subjects because I have experienced the Koreans and Americans side well enough to understand both and I’m currently in South Korea with military men and women. I have Korean friends and American friends spending time together sometimes, and then I can observes differences and similarities.

I live in a small town in the mountains outside of Boulder, called Nederland. Nederland is a beautiful area with many great qualities. However, living in Nederland presents some struggles, including the long, hard winters, the wildfires, and the separation from a bigger city with more activities and available resources.

Having been born and raised in Boston, I have never felt out of place or like an outsider. During my past experiences abroad, I have learned that being American comes with a lot of preconceived notions. One of the biggest challenges associated with this is allowing nationality to define my experience. As an American, there are unique behaviors and ambiances I am accustomed to that I may not realize influence the impression I give off. Although being American is an integral part of my identity, I do not want my nationality to be the first thing people notice and consequently use to draw conclusions.
A city is a good place to continue the further education and to find a suitable job. A city can provide government facilities to its people which makes easy to sustain the life and to perform the task. In addition, the city may be regarded as a relatively permanent concentration of population, together with its diverse habitations, social arrangements, and supporting activities. Cities might differ in cultural aspects and from other types of human settlement and association. Today I am comparing and contrasting my hometown, Kathmandu and the city I am living in, Colorado.
