Culture of United States of America Orientation Identification. The name "America" is often used to refer to the United States, but until the political formation of the United States after the Revolutionary War, this designation referred to South America only. Contemporary use of the term to refer to the United States underlines that country's political and economic dominance in the western hemisphere. Such use of this designation is impolitic from the perspective of Canadians and Latin Americans. The United States has an Anglo majority that is politically and economically dominant. U.S. culture has significant regional inflections. The Northeast is densely populated. The Midwest is both rural and industrial. The South was shaped by its secession from the Union before the Civil War and is associated with slavery and with subsequent battles over civil rights for African-Americans. The West, the last national frontier, is associated with national dreams and myths of unlimited opportunity and individualism. United States

Climat Etats Unis: température, précipitations, quand partir, que mettre dans la valise Températures, précipitations, conditions météo prédominantes, quand partir, que mettre dans la valise Sommaire Introduction Les États-Unis contigus couvrent un vaste territoire, et il est donc logique qu'ils aient une variété climatique considérable. En règle générale, cependant, les États-Unis ont un climat continental, avec des hivers froids (souvent très froids) et des étés chauds (souvent très chauds), avec une longueur différente des saisons selon la latitude et la distance de la mer. Mais il y a des exceptions : à l'ouest la côte du Pacifique, au climat frais et humide dans le nord et méditerranéen dans le sud ; la côte du Golfe du Mexique, douce en hiver et étouffante en été ; la Floride, presque tropicale ; les zones montagneuses, froides toute l'année ; et enfin la zone des déserts chauds. La côte ouest Seattle Voici les températures moyennes à Seattle, située dans le nord-ouest, dans l’état de Washington, à 150 km de la frontière canadienne. San Francisco Los Angeles Les déserts Fargo
Race and Ethnicity Facts, information, pictures John Snetsinger To many observers one of the surprises of the 2000 census was that fully 10 percent of Americans reported that they had been born in a foreign country. Thirty years earlier the figure had been just 4.7 percent, the smallest in the Republic's history. A defining element of the American experience has been the degree to which ethnic affiliations, and to a lesser degree racial identity, have influenced foreign policy. Because there has never been a time in which a higher percentage of Americans had themselves been born in a foreign country, or had at least one parent born overseas, historians commonly focus on the influence of ethnic constituencies on President Woodrow Wilson's diplomacy of war and peace. Reasons for the link between American diplomacy and ethnicity are found in the manner in which the country was settled. White English settlers made up the clear majority in the American colonies, but only through the second half of the eighteenth century. Druks, Herbert.
United States The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (US), America or simply the States, is a federal republic[10][11] consisting of 50 states and a federal district. The 48 contiguous states and the federal district of Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also has five populated and nine unpopulated territories in the Pacific and the Caribbean. At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km2) in total and with around 317 million people, the United States is the fourth-largest country by total area and third largest by population. Etymology The phrase "United States" was originally treated as plural, a description of a collection of independent states—e.g., "the United States are"—including in the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865.

Citizenship in the United States United States citizenship confers the right to acquire a U.S. passport.[1] The one shown above is a post-2007 issued passport. Citizenship in the United States, being a citizen, is a status that entails specific rights, privileges, and duties. Citizenship is understood as a "right to have rights" since it serves as a foundation for a bundle of subsequent rights, such as the right to live and work in the United States and to receive federal assistance.[2] There are two primary sources of citizenship: birthright citizenship, in which a person is presumed to be a citizen provided that he is born within the territorial limits of the United States,[3] and naturalization, a process in which an immigrant applies for citizenship and is accepted. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. U.S. law permits multiple citizenship. Relation of citizenship[edit] Duties[edit]

The Largest Ancestry Groups In The United States Fast Food and American Culture The American way of life is built around speed and efficiency. Every new advance in technology is built around being just a little faster and a little more connected. A mother can drop her kids off at school, pay her bills online, contribute to her retirement account, schedule a meeting at work, respond to e-mails through her Blackberry, call in a coffee order at Starbucks, return her Netflix movies, and squeeze in a yoga workout all before she actually gets to work. Where in this schedule is there time for a well-rounded meal (excepting Starbucks of course)? This perpetual need for speed has invaded all aspects of our lives and has created an environment that is not conducive to traditional family meals. Perhaps the first impetus for this change was the invention of the television. Let's return to the woman mentioned in the first paragraph. Simply looking at an example like this one makes it easy to see why the traditional meal has given way to fast food.

Etats-Unis: le taux de chômage passe sous les 7% Les créations d'emplois en octobre sont supérieures au consenus. Le chômage aux États-Unis reste néanmoins toujours deux fois supérieur à ses niveaux d'avant la crise. Peux-ton parler de début de retournement pour l'emploi aux Etats-Unis alors que l'épidémie de covid est toujours plus forte? Il faut dire que les chiffres d'octobre sont plutôt bons. "Alors que la majeure partie du consensus pariait sur des chiffres de l’emploi américain pour le mois d’octobre littéralement catastrophiques, c’est tout l’inverse qui ‘s’est produit", commente ainsi Mirabaud Securities. Par ailleurs, le taux de chômage a baissé plus qu'attendu en octobre, et s'établit à 6,9%, a annoncé vendredi le département du Travail contre 7,9% en septembre et un consensus à 7,6%. L'emploi repart dans le secteur des loisirs et de la restauration "Ces améliorations sur le marché du travail reflètent la reprise continue de l'activité économique", explique le département du Travail dans un communiqué.

États-Unis : activités économiques Les services occupent plus des trois quarts des actifs, l'industrie 22 %, et l'agriculture 2 % seulement. Les États-Unis se situent parmi les trois premiers producteurs mondiaux dans de nombreux domaines : pétrole, gaz, charbon et électricité (mais le secteur énergétique est déficitaire en hydrocarbures) ; céréales (blé, maïs) et soja, fruits tropicaux, élevage ; cultures industrielles (coton, tabac) ; sidérurgie et métallurgie des non-ferreux (aluminium) ; construction automobile et aéronautique ; chimie et électronique. Mais la concurrence au niveau mondial apparaît de plus en plus vive, le solde de la balance commerciale est lourdement négatif et le déficit budgétaire s'est creusé. 1.
