2. Culture and customs
For years we have had countries,
continents, cities, counties, states, and
colonies. All of them have different
customs. I am doing my presentation on
just the main customs that I think are
used. The Olympics started in Europe
and combined all the different cultures
together and made a huge event around
the world, and it is still going on today.
3. The eight main customs
Clothes
War traditions in battles
Food
Stories
Music
Sports
Crafts
Celebrations
4. Clothes
Believe it or not but clothes are also
deflected of what country lets you do or
how strict the country is. In America
people can wear really short shorts (Like
in picture one.), and no one says
anything to them. While in different
countries, like Hijab they can barely
show there face. (Like in picture two) All
you can see is there eyes. It makes our
society look bad in their country.
6. War traditions in battles
Over the years people would start traditions.
There are two main traditions that they do
during a war..
Flag boy: this is one of the most important war
traditions ever. It would raise peoples morals
when they were down, and remind them that
they served their country. They would give the
first person in line the flag even if they had a
gun. If in any case the soldier with the gun gets
shot down the next person in line would then
get the flag before it would touch the ground.
If the flag did touch the ground they would
have a ceremonial fire and burn the flag.
7. War traditions in battles
Drummer boy: This also was a big job. They would try to
lift up the moral of the people in the war by making
different songs and to annoy the enemy. Britain did it to
America. They made the Yankee Doodle song.
Yankee Doodle went to town A-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy. Father and I went down to
camp Along with Captain Gooding And there we saw the
men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
8. War song
There was Captain Washington Upon a slapping stallion A-
giving orders to his men I guess there were a million.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Yankee Doodle went to town A-riding on a pony Stuck a
feather in his cap And called it macaroni. Yankee Doodle,
keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy Mind the music and the step And
with the girls be handy.
9. symbolism
In the song Yankee Doddle the word Yankee was first
spoken in 1964 to the early Dutch settlers that meant that
they took land that was not theirs but they did not steal it.
Doddle was first invented by the Germans in the 1970’s
which meant a older word that now mostly means
redneck or hillbilly.
In the song they talked about macaroni. Which is a fancy
very expensive British group, that could afford anything.
Yankee Doddle A.K.A. America was trying to be like the
Macaroni club, putting the feather in his hat to be fancy
so that he could join the macaroni club, but the British did
not except Yankee Doodle.
Another tradition they would use was wearing masks to
intimidate their enemy . In Africa they would make a
mask and would pick a certain spirit animal and draw on
it. To scare the enemy.
10. War traditions in battles
In the army people would wear camouflage so
that the enemy would not see them. In the
forest they would dress themselves as green
moss and their clothes would often match a
tree.
Surprisingly, we even use it in sports. Like our
team mascot in football, basketball, soccer,
hockey, and gymnastics. We mostly just use it
for team colors to try to intimidate or to try get
inside the other players head so that they can’t
score a goal, run, score a basket, and a
touchdown. So that team can win the game
14. Food

24. Stories
Stories they are a part of the past, some could be true and some could
be false. No one really knows if it is true or not. Sometimes stories are
true but some people stretch the stories until it is a complete lie. So I
have a story and I summarized in my own words
1. The legend of sleepy Hallow woods
• It is basically about a guy named Ichabod who saw this rich guy with
his daughter walking to town and wanted to win her heart, and he
does, but a guy named Brom who was mad that Ichabod stole the one
he loved. Ichabod gets invited to a costume party. On his way to a
party there is a mysterious person in the front. It turns out to be a guy
with a pumpkin head. At first he thinks it is for the costume party then
he realizes it is the headless horseman. The horseman then chases
after Ichabod. Ichabod can feel the fire burning his neck from the
headless horseman’s breath. He thought that if he can go past the
bridge he would be safe. Then crash. Breakfast time passed and no
Ichabod. Lunch time passed no Ichabod. Dinner time passed and all
is found is a horse without a saddle, a smashed pumpkin and a burnt
bag that is filled with brunt magic scrolls and the money that was his
early pay.
25. Stories
Like if the Scholar knew he was going to die. So any time you
talk about the hallow woods or about Brom he laughs. So
is Brom the headless horseman? Can it be or not?
Like in that Story some parts are true:
1. After his recent attack they found Ichabod in an older
farmers home severely injured .
2. Like the Scholar, Ichabod's best friend encountered a
goblin like creature and told every one to blame
Ichabod’s death on the headless horseman and since he
is a part of the law every one believed him.
3. The court took in Brom to testify if he attacked Ichabod
after he recently purposed to the richest daughter in the
land. Back then the best judges were the oldest women,
and they found Brom not guilty and blamed
supernatural means.
26. Crafts
One of the main crafts is making masks to
scare and frighten the enemy when it comes
into combat with it’s next victim. This craft is
most likely to be found in Africa.
Painting is also a huge deal in crafts. It is used
to tell stories in the painting that could last
throughout the ages. Like Vincent van Gogh. A
man who struggled with mental illness and
used it in an amazing way and passion that no
one has done before.
27. crafts
The one craft that we use now and some use it a lot is
blue prints. This is used to create a house so that a
house can be made and then changing the idea later.
When you build part of the house and you have to
brake the parts that just took you hours to make,
you can think of an idea and do all the changes that
you need to do using the blueprint. I recently went
to a website called blue prints.com and found blue
prints are used for cars, motorcycles, airplanes,
weapons, trains, phones, cars, ships, trucks, busses
and construction equipment.
30. The song
Y tú, te esconderás y encontrarás una pieza de las mías con
un disco indie que sea más cool que el mío. Ooh, volviste a
llamarme esta noche, Pero, Ooh, esta vez, te digo, te digo,
Nosotros nunca jamás jamás volveremos a estar juntos,
Nosotros nunca jamás ja Ooh, volviste a llamarme esta
noche, Pero, Ooh, esta vez, te digo, te digo, Nosotros
nunca jamás jamás volveremos a estar juntos, más
volveremos a estar juntos, Ve y conversa con tus amigos,
conversa con mis amigas, conversa conmigo, Pero
nosotros nunca jamás jamás jamás volveremos a estar
juntos. Solía pensar que duraríamos por siempre y para
siempre, Y solía decir; ‘nunca digas nunca’, Huh, él
todavía me llama y actúa como si me amase, Y yo como si,
quiero decir, esto es agotador, ya sabes, Nosotros nunca
jamás volveremos a estar juntos, es decir, NUNCA, no!
31. Other music
Though not all songs are from America or Britain.
The national anthem is a song we all sing together in
special events. When you go watch the super bowl,
the person who sang it had to be some one very
talented or some one famous. This year Beyonce
sang the national anthem during the super bowl..
One is the Happy Birthday song it has been around
for a while and what we would. All cultures have
traditional songs. A traditional song is a birthday
song and all you
32. music
do is count the days of the year. Then you divide that
number by 365 days and celebrate that day by calling
it a birthday. Another thing that was brought over to
America is a mariachi band that plays all kinds of
music throughout the country. With music that no
one would have ever thought of. It came in songs that
made you sad, and happy. It was all over the place.
That was not the only one that was not from America.
The African drummer. They would sing traditional
songs in rituals that would help them claim their
animal spirits and sing songs to the witch doctor to
help him heal their patients faster from diseases.
33. sports
Over the ages we have started different sports. A
good example is the Olympics. It changed
more than 15 times. Even though we are still
doing it, we still switch between summer and
the winter Olympics. Every two years and stop
the Olympics in world wars. Like in world war
one and two.
Football: An American type sport that can be
found in countries such as Brazil, Spain
Portugal, the Netherlands, and Italy.(top six)
1. It’s tradition is touching a banner before the
game to give the team luck to win the game
against the opposing team.
34. sports
Soccer: A unique sport that only lets you use
your feet or hands. The objective is to score the
most goals, and try to protect your own goal.
1. Their only tradition is singing a song called
who ate all the pies. To try to make fun of the
opposing team.
Rugby: A sport that is a little like football that
is literally on going and only ends if the game
is over.
1. Rugby's number one tradition is the Haka
song and dance. That is trying to get in the
opposing teams head so they can win the
game. Even if the song takes time.
35. Celebration
A sign of happiness like when your team wins
in a certain sport. Or when your fantasy
football team is 10-0, so far. I’m talking
about the celebration days in our country.
In most countries each country would have
at least one.
One famous one is Independence Day.
When your country rains free from
another's rule. A sign of victory for it’s
country to prove that the country is worthy
of being a country.
36. Celebration
New Years Eve is big because it reminds
you that it is a new year so every thing
bad that happened is in the past and
focus on a new future.
Christmas is celebrated world wide. It
meant that Jesus Christ was born and
that greatness has come into the world.
Now families spend time with their
families and open presents right next to
a Christmas tree.
37. Special thanks to
Vincent van Gogh

and the cultures that are around us today.
Without those cultures and differences that
we have today. Life would probably be dull
and boring. With every one thinking the
same, doing the same, and liking the same
thing, life would be boring.
