Firstly, there are 28 states in India and each state has different religion. For example, there are traditions in Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism.Example: 80% of people in India are Hindus. Hinduism is a colorful religion with huge colonnade of Gods and Goddesses and is one of the most ancient religions in the world. In ancient times Buddhism and Jainism were very popular. Sikhism was established in 15th century and is newest religion.
A culture consists of numerous components that vary from one culture group to the next. Religion, language, cuisine, values are a few of so many ways that people can be culturally different. No two cultures are the same. The American and Indian cultures have very vast differentiation between them. While the culture of America is a mixture of different cultures, the Indian culture is unique and has its own values.
Confucianism is a complex system of moral, social, political, philosophical, and religious thought which has had big influence on the culture and history of East Asia. The cultures most strongly influenced by Confucianism include those of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Neo-Confucianism combined Taoist and Buddhist ideas with existing Confucian ideas to create a more complete bonding than had ever existed before. At the same time, many forms of Confucianism have historically declared themselves opposed to the Buddhist and Taoist belief
In that context globalization has been described either the next logical step from modernism or as a separate event called postmodernity. The shared view is that both industrialisation snd globalization are characterised as a massive change and the eventually breack down the bounderies of ancient civilazation. Nations dominate the planet, since every corner now belongs to one or more than 200 nations and teritories. It a well known fact that nationalism and our system of nation states has a spoted history. First, there are still many parts of the globe where border disputes remain, and give rise to tensions- like Chinas claim to the spralty ilands in the South China Seas.
Some Mexicans were already living in the Southern and Western regions of the North American continent centuries before the United States existed. Many more Mexicans came to the country during the 20th century, and Mexican immigrants continue to arrive today. The multicultural inheritance of Mexican Americans is rich and complex. It reflects the influences of Spain, Mexico, and indigenous cultures, and has been shaped by hundreds of years of survival and adaptation in the crucible of North American history. Their history was also shaped by wars and depressions, by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the Gadsden Purchase, and by shifting attitudes toward immigration.
The rise of the Aztec empire saw the Aztecs dominate Mesoamerica in entirety, as far as starting from Guatemala, Salvador, the Honduras, to Mexico. What is strikingly interesting is that both the Persian and the Aztec empires share a lot of similarities, so that it is difficult to limit the analyses of these similarities to the religious front only. The Persian and the Aztec empires share a great deal of commonality in all respects of life, including religion. Because of this interesting aspect of commonality in the ancient Aztec and the Persian religions, it is possible that these religions are from a common stock, so that the concept of ancient global civilization may have been evident. First and foremost, it is important to note that before the advent of Zoroaster Zarathustra, both the Persian and the Aztec religions and mythologies believed in and entertained the idea of a pantheon of gods.
Cultures in Motion Discussion Paper Peter N. Stearns discusses in his book Cultures in Motion about how different cultures and religions have traveled and have created a great impact in all parts of the world. It is very interesting to learn how different cultures have traveled around the world and what are the caused of some of those cultures to decline. The interaction between cultures has caused many different results throughout history. Some cultures have adapted certain components from other cultures but often the interacting cultures have gone to war against each other. I found interesting how he says that Egypt and the Middle East contributed to Greece.
It also may describes the works and practices of intellectual and especially artistic activity like music, theatre, playing and sculpture, literature and film. Still another reason for the complexity of the word ‘culture’ is the fact that the range of contexts in which the vocabulary now figures has multiplied extraordinarily in recent years. Today there are all sorts of different cultures that represent different traditions and rituals, for example there are High culture, Folk culture, Mass culture, et cetera.
Religion has always been a major factor in everything involving the world since the beginning of time. Though the similarities are present, no two religions are exactly alike so there are also various differences within the beliefs of the varying religious centers. Religion affects the society, the population, and the civilization of a country in countless ways. Religion is one of the most important factors of any empire, country, or civilization. Religion also provided a strong role in the governments of different societies around the world.
Native American culture (Native American Art History, 2014) Native Americans have a very rich culture littered with struggle, strife and success. Their stories are steeped in tradition, spirituality and closely tied with Mother Nature. Many aspects mainstream culture are adapted from Native American cultures. Symbols such as the sun on the New Mexico flag are actually taken straight from Native American culture. Other symbols often used are teepees, totem poles, peace pipes, and moccasins.
