Everyone have different cultures everywhere in the world. there are all types of people with different ways of doing things. Like cajun culture it is unique. The food we eat, the music we listen to, and the cloths we wear and other factors. There is another rare culture that I am interested in it is black culture. There are so many different accusations about them like they are thieves, they love chicken, excedera but most of them are false. In my eyes everyone is the same we just do different things or have different ways of doing the same thing. Cajun culture is a great example. Like the food we eat. It is very different from other cultures but it’s still food.

Black culture is really one of a kind where do I start. First let me point out the amazing things the people went through. Slavery is the most talked about thing when people bring up the topic of black culture. The way they got out of it was really amazing it shows that if people stand together they can do anything. From slavery and standing together to freedom and fighting each other. It’s like the freedom that we worked so hard to get is not helping us but putting a toll on the black culture. Instead of fighting discrimination we are fighting each other. The music that they listen to doesn’t help out at all it just makes them want to fight each other more. One thing that we can hope on is the future because this culture has nothing but a bright future. Cajun and black culture are two true one of a kind cultures. Their kind of the same if you look at it. Their is some black in cajun culture. The weird thing is that I am part of both

New Orleans along with cities like New York City, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles are considered to be some of the most diversified cities in the United States. New Orleans being a major city in the American South has encountered many race related incidents. Theses race relations have affected the lives of the population of New Orleans through religion, customs, language, food, and racial division throughout the city. Because of the French and Spanish domination in the region until the year 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase, made by Thomas Jefferson, the development of New Orleans was
As mentioned in the previous paragraphs Hog and Hominy focuses on Soul Food, and From Creole to African focuses on the changing identities of the Creoles. They both start in Africa and explain how they changed after they were introduced to the Americas. In addition, it is likely that neither Soul Food nor Creoles would have existed if creolization had not occurred. The main difference between how they are organized is that Hog and Hominy stops during the 1980’s, while From Creole to African ends during the Colonial
They are more alike than they are different. Dirty rice or crawfish seasoned with either would be equally authentic. The differences between the two spice blends have more to do with the differences in Cajun cuisine and Creole cuisine. Cajun cuisine is more rustic, with an emphasis on bolder flavors that emerged from the use of spices to preserve meat. The Cajun people have historically rural with little access to refrigeration and other amenities of an urban lifestyle.
Southern hospitality is obvious in any restaurant in New Orleans, but the delicious food speaks for itself. New Orleans is famous for its home-style cooking, like a seafood po-boy or a good plate of red beans and rice on Monday nights that no one can resist. Not to mention jambalaya, gumbo, and étouffée.

At night telling folk tales, doing dances and praying were the main reason why slaves did not commit suicide or harm themselves. They used these cultural remedies to assist them through their hardships.

Without the work of slavery whites would have to work in their own fields instead they decided to get slaves and have the slaves do their work for them with no payment just cruelty. “African Americans…influenced the development of white culture.
African Americans much like myself have a deep desire to have an identity rooted in cultures. Often times We're left in a no-man's land, we don't often ever see ourselves reflected in today’s society. America loves appropriating African American culture, even though America, at time, doesn’t show much love to black people. From our dreadlocks to our dashikis White America continues to take black tradition and use it for their own personal entertainment hardly ever giving proper credit, stepping over historical background, or just feeding into stereotypes. Every year Whites receive all the proper credits for succeeding at mocking “black culture” This year was filled with white people receiving praise for hairstyles that African American men and woman have been wearing for years, and have been looked down for wearing.

Cherokee sense of family is also quite different from European family structure. European styles uses direct blood connections, Cherokee uses clan.
While some of the cultural norms and expectations varied slightly amongst the members of the Sioux, Navajo, and Cherokee tribes, it seems as though the cultural communicative behaviors and/or many of the norms and expectations were overall exceedingly similar across these three tribes. Thus, we feel that while culture may vary slightly across tribes through their rituals and ceremonies, cultural values and identities were more related and applied throughout the general Native American heritage, rather than being tribe
Comparing Miami and New York culture is like comparing oranges and apples. Both has been highly influenced by different cultures, and both have a strong diverse heritage. Miami is well known by having Cuban community influence.
