United States as a civilizationBy Olivia Showell

The United States is a democracy. This means that we do not have a king, queen or dictator ; we have a president who is voted for by the citizens of our nation. Our president is Barack Obama.

GOVERNMENT

In our country, we are free to practice most religions, unlike other countries where people may go to jail or even be killed for their beliefs. People in the United States are Christian, Jewish, and Hindu or one of many other religions

RELIGIOUS SYSTEM

We have farms, ranches and agricultural cooperatives that make our food supply stable. The food produced often goes to grocery stores where we then buy from the great variety offered.

STABLE FOOD SUPPLY

We have many forms of technology both simple and complicated; from a windmill to an ipad. Technology helps us greatly in everyday life. For example, if you were doing this project and there was no such thing as a computer or powerpoint we would have to write everything by hand on a poster.

TECHNOLOGY

Highly developed way of life is reflected in our cultural activities. Examples are singing, acting, painting, and architecture. We have many places that house the arts, such as Broadway, museums and concert halls. These things can help us tell people how we feel.

HIGHLY DEVELOPED WAY OF LIFE

We have a variety of citizens with various education levels and

backgrounds. Job skills range from physical labor to management and ownership of businesses. These job structures include income levels from poverty to billionaires. Most Americans are somewhere in the middle.

SOCIAL STRUCTURE

English is a very complex language to learn and to write. Our language is partly a Germanic language and partly derived from the Romance languages. Our written system is so advanced that we even have different fonts to print our language in. We have a formal language and slang.

HIGHLY DEVELOPED WRITTEN LANGUAGE

Isn’t this font cool?
