Culture

 While visiting Boston I came across this guy giving a tour of the city. As you can see, he isn't your average tour guide. This guy dressed up as Paul Revere is giving these tourists the full effect of Boston and all of the American history and culture that holds it's roots their. He's a great display of how much Boston, as well as all American culture, prides and values our countries early beginnings.


Chinatown is a place that's overflowing with culture. A great way to experience some material culture as well as practice cultural relativism is to try some authentic food that you never thought you'd eat before.


 One of the biggest factors that is changing culture today: technology. Computers are becoming more and more of a necessity in our day-to-day lives than they've ever been before. Technology is letting us stay connected with the whole world around us.



Can't miss those beautiful golden arches, especially when you drive past them every couple of miles. McDonald's has to be one of the most infamous depictions of American culture today. Doesn't that make you proud?

Oh look, another McDonald's. We even post our countries flag right next to theirs. It's all about freedom and Big Macs.



 Another good depiction of what American culture and values: big loud trucks.
