For one thing, we can see in color.
Answer 2
There are numerous fundamental differences between the world in The Giver and the United States. Some of these include:
Dictatorship vs. Democracy: The Giver's world is a Dictatorship where the leadership has no accountability to the people. The US is a democracy where people vote for their leaders and can hold them to account.
Predeterminism vs. Choice in Life: In The Giver's world, every person's life is arranged and directed by a government that "knows" what people "should do". In the US, any person can make any choice as to who to marry, what job to work in, and what to want in life.
Restricted Access to Knowledge vs. Open Access:In The Giver's world, only certain individuals are provided with very important information, such as history or science. By contrast, in the US, almost all information can be accessed publicly except state secrets.
Purpose for Life vs. Life as a Purpose: This is a nuanced point, but in The Giver, a life is only worthwhile if it can be placed in the predeterministic system. By contrast, in the US, just living is purpose enough to be alive; the person need not be "useful" to the society to have a right to life.
The Giver is a dystopian novel. People chose to live in a society with no memories of a horrible past. Only the Giver had these memories. This is why they have no feelings when they take the lives of those that violate rules.
The Bedouins are a nomadic based culture, the US is not. Think of a life based on constant movement. The only thing moved towards in the US was the frontier.
Race and Culture
The US is MUCH MUCH larger, Japan's culture is WAY different, and lastly 4 now, Japan is an island.
Some aspects of German culture are different than that of the U.S., some aren't.
a very good European culture. nothing like the US culture...!! Very different.
It has a different type of government. They speak a different language. They have a different religion. They make different kinds of houses, and they have different types of schools.
It's not possible to count them because there is no universal definition of what a culture is.
No. They were people like us, and probably had a very different culture than we have now.
GI's were simply exposed to a different world, than the world they had just left (the US). Different customs, different language, different dress (clothing), different foods, and for many GI's, a different climate.
I think that one reason culture changes is that the population of a country or area of a country changes. Different cultures bring their traditions and beliefs with them. The media also plays a role in culture change, the way they present different cultures has an influence on us also.
Many people would have impacted culture in America. Depending on what state/area you are in will change who impacted the culture the most as there are lost of different types of cultures in the US.
