Their society and their culture were impacted dramatically. Culture involves the shared lifestyles, personal dispositions, beliefs, values, codes, and language; therefore the change of a culture can have a significant impact on a country. As in this case, the way in which the culture and people had been changed by this war has yet to be fully understood. Time magazine has called it “the war that will not end;”52 because there continues to be lasting legacies of the cultural and social changes and divisions that had been created by the war still existent within American society. These aspects remain in the culture of Americans because they provide a unique vehicle for the representation of cultural unity.
Nature in terms of health and social care defines as the qualities we are born with that makes us what we are. Nurture defines as how we are influenced as a child by the environment around us, including other people. Many scientists, philosophers and researches argue that individuals’ personalities and talents come from their DNA and many others argue that the majority of it is influenced by life experiences and the environment. There have been studies involving identical and fraternal twins to find out if it is the genetics (nature) or environment (nurture), which was the effective one on the case of personality development. Which side of the debate is more influential?
In Stay Put: Making a Home in a Restless World, an essay that serves to respond to an essay by Salman Rushdie, Scott Russell Sanders used parallelism and metaphors to emphasize his beliefs that migration causes “disastrous consequences for the earth and for ourselves.” Sanders believes that “by settling in, we have a chance of making a durable home for ourselves, our fellow creatures, and our descendants.” The use of parallelism throughout Sanders’ essay was to emphasize his counter argument made by Rushdie. Rushdie articulates “that uprootings brings tolerance, while rootedness breeds intolerance; that imaginary homelands are preferable to geographical ones; that to be modern, enlightened, fully of our time is to be displaced,” showing that migration is good,in Rushdie’s perspective. Although we don’t know Sanders’ background, it is easy to speculate Rushdie’s perspective since he is a writer who migrated from India to England. If Rushdie believed that he disliked migration and had the same beliefs as Sanders, he would be contradicting his own actions. Sanders believes Rushdie’s beliefs are an “orthodoxy that... [Sanders]... wish[es] to encounter,” stating his belief that migration only harms the environment, not only to the creatures around us, but to ourselves as well.

A lot of people loved their local Coney’s and they don’t know that there’s more than one kind of Coney Island in the Detroit area. A classic Coney, oh its delicious, it’s a steamed bun and the buns in many of these places are made by metropolitan bakery, which supplies its Coney steamers to lots of Coney Islands. The bun must be steamed that is so good and then you take a hotdog, it’s a beef and pork hotdog with a natural casing on it so that when you bite it it snaps. You grill that, you don’t boil it, you could boil and grill it as some people do, but it’s grilled and then this is very important, on top of that we put a bean less chili, its an all meat chili sauce and then onions that are diced or minced, they can be Spanish or Bedalia, but they tend to be a white onion and then ordinary garden variety yellow mustard and that’s your Coney in Detroit. If you go to Flint and Jackson you’ll get a Coney dog that is it’s same kind of bun same kind of hot dog, but the chili’s different, its really called a meat topping, it’s not called a chili sauce.
Thokozile Nkosi W130/Bye 14, September, 2012 Culture and Success In author and publisher, Gary Colombo’s essay “Thinking Critically, Challenging Cultural Myths”, he claims that culture greatly affects our lives. He asserts, “our most dominant cultural myths shape the way we perceive the world and blind us to alternative ways of seeing and being” (4). Here, Colombo demonstrates that, depending on what our culture thinks is acceptable our point of view could hinder us from experiencing different things or different point of views. Likewise in writer and civil rights activist, Malcolm X’s essay “Learning to Read”, he discussed how his vocabulary was perceived as great when he talked to other people on the street, but when it came to talking to an educated person like Mr. Elijah Muhammad. Elijah Muhammad was an African American religious leader and Malcolm X’s mentor.
“As individuals grow their connections often evolve and change, affecting the person they are” The concept of belonging and not belonging is so powerful, strongly engraved and printed onto the human psyche. It is beneficial for the temperament of a person and will eventually affect the person they are.

Recent polls show that President Obama’s presidency is effecting all types of people already. Yes, this president will change how African American Families are viewed by other races. More importantly, he is effecting how African Americans view themselves. I believe this will be especially true of black men. It will be hard for actions that reflect irresponsibility to be accepted when there is such a powerful example of leadership of country and family daily being seen.
We are going down the road of socialism, and I personally feel it is partially due to our diversity in the country. This is going to be our country’s biggest challenge as me move further and our country becomes more diverse. What has America stood for? The land of the free, a place to come and make better for yourself; the idea of getting a job, working hard, and providing for your family; being able to get a good education and passing it on to the next generation; being able to do this without persecution. Early in this country growth the population was very diverse, but they all seemed to share some very common goals and principles.
