There's actually no single culture called "Creole". The word creole refers to a type of language that results from the combination of two completely different parent languages. There are more than 100 different creolized languages in the world, so you would have to specify which one you're talking about.

If you're not sure, here is a list of the most commonly spoken Creoles in the world (one of them is even an official language):

  1. Louisiana Creole French, spoken in Louisiana
  2. Belizean Kriol language, spoken in Belize
  3. Haitian Creole language, French-based, an official language of Haiti

What are the social expectations of men in American Society today?

The social expectations of men in America are the very expectations that an American man expects of himself. All cultural expectations are integrated into individuals as they grow and develop within their culture. Some expectations are commonly known, while others are deeply embedded within a person's subconscious thoughts. Many American men feel as though making money is an important social expectation. Also considered important is masculinity, athleticism, and heterosexuality. Not all men will fit the American social norm. Therefore, it is important to recognize that social expectations are not necessarily good and they do not necessarily value a man's character and self worth. Knowing this allows a person to more constructively evaluate oneself. While it is probably impossible to completely disregard social expectations, knowledge and education can allow a person to consider social expectations relative to their true importance.


Why creoles came to Louisiana?

Roll tide I'm not sure what "Roll Tide" refers to however the answer to your question: Creoles never "came" to Louisiana. Louisiana Creoles, and their culture, are native to the Louisiana territory. After the French claimed and colonized Louisiana for France, any offspring born of unions between French, local natives, Africans, Spaniards, Germans, Irish etc., or any "admixture" thereof, these children were called "creoles" (adj) to distinguish them from immigrants: Creole finds its roots in the Portuguese term "crioulo" as they were the first to use it. And "Crioulo" comes from the Latin word "crear" meaning to create/native. Thus, a Creole is anyone who is native to Louisiana in its traditional use. Louisiana Creole today denotes the descendants of this, regardless of "race/ethnicity" and the culture that developped as a result of these multi-cultural blendings. Since Creole is a culture, anyone can become a Creole by marrying into a Creole family just as well and adapting/assimilating into the culture of Creoles.
