Describe the customs and culture that make up America.​

Answer:

American culture encompasses the customs and traditions of the United States. "Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things," said Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and South Gate College in London.

Explanation:

The United States is the third largest country in the world with a population of more than 325 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. A child is born every 8 seconds, and a person dies every 12 seconds.

In addition to Native Americans who were already living on the continent, the population of the United States was built on immigration from other countries. Despite recent moves to close the U.S. borders to new immigrants and refugees, a new immigrant moves to the United States every 33 seconds, according to the Census Bureau.

Because of this, the United States is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. Nearly every region of the world has influenced American culture, most notably the English who colonized the country beginning in the early 1600s. U.S. culture has also been shaped by the cultures of Native Americans, Latin Americans, Africans and Asians.

The United States is sometimes described as a "melting pot" in which different cultures have contributed their own distinct "flavors" to American culture. Just as cultures from around the world have influenced American culture, today American culture influences the world. The term Western culture often refers broadly to the cultures of the United States and Europe.

The way people "melt" in the United States differs. "Different groups of immigrants integrate in different ways," De Rossi told Live Science. "For example, in the United States, Catholic Spanish-speaking communities might keep their language and other cultural family traditions, but are integrated in the urban community and have embraced the American way of life in many other ways."

The Northeast, South, Midwest, Southeast and Western regions of the United States all have distinct traditions and customs. Here is a brief overview of the culture of the United States.

satela [25.4K]

The correct answer is A) autocracy or oligarchy.

Although there are differences among individual nations, communist governments are usually a form of either autocracy or oligarchy.

Communists governments have been associated with dictators or absolutists leaders. We have many cases in history.

Let's talk about one. General Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union.

Joseph Stalin was a military man that was a dictator, an absolutist, and showed no mercy to his enemies and rivals. He and his group of people ruled the Soviet Union and some other Eastern European nations such as East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Rumania.

As part of the Cold War, Stalin supported the spread of Communis, in different regions of the world, as was the case of North Korea.

Under which category of crimes does failure to act as per one’s legal duties fall?
Marina86 [1]

The correct answer would be Omission.

Indeed, if the person who failed to act had the legal duties to do it (like a police officer or a doctor). This is considered a crime of omission since there was <em>mens rea</em> (guilty mind in Latin); meaning that the offender knew that failure to act despite his established duty would result in injury to the other party.
