According to Elizabeth Blair, American culture is now "multiple cultures that are no longer broken down simply by ethnicity, religion or age". Explain whether you agree or disagree with this statement. Refer to example from the two reading to help support your response

I agree.

Explanation:

America was created by the interplay of many different cultures in a single region. This is because as we know, America was supported by immigrants, who built the country based on their own cultural concepts and values. This made the cultural diversity that makes up American culture, go beyond ethnicity, religion and age, but it has to do with the way of life, personality, concepts and ethical and moral values that each American presents in relation to the country, citizens and the world. In addition, the diffusion and mixing of cultures in the country, made it impossible to define them according to religion and ethnicity, but it became a great respectable and admirable national concept.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
