1. What is your earliest memory of the American West?
One of the most outstanding memories about the American West was about the completion of the railroads to the following civil war which opened up a vast number of places to settlement and economic development. During that time, white settlers from the East flocked into Mississippi for mining activities, farming, as well as ranching. Besides, African-Americans settlers also came into the West emanating from the Deep South who were motivated by the promoters of all-black Western towns that prosperity could be found there (White, 2015). Also, diversity was intensified by the Chinese railroad workers within the region’s population. It then led the settlement from the East turn to Great Plains were the herds of Americans bison in the area were virtually omitted from the place as farmers plowed the area as well as the growth of cattle industry as the railroad provided a practical means for getting the cattle to market.
2. From what sources did you learn about the West? This could be anything from school to stories to TV shows to personal experience.
I was able to learn about the American West from various publications and articles available in the libraries of the institution as well as commercial libraries. Besides, learning about the West was made simpler by the availability of a wide range of online materials of study related to the topic. The wide range of online source equips one with the appropriate information about the West in clear details. Besides, the comparison of these sources enables one to acquire all the relevant data about the West and its historical background with regard to the American identity. Again, West is vastly presented in films and TV shows were characters have enacted the events of the period.
3. As you think about your perception of the American West, what individuals populate that space? What kinds of events take place? Set the scene of your imagined American West.
Imaginatively, I tend to perceive that the American West is populated by some widely but inter-related individuals which would be as a result of the different interaction of the different individuals who migrated into the place. Having different races within the same geographical setting means that mixed social, economic and political events will be carried such as the rise of support groups including women empowerment associations. However, this factor leads to the eruption of newly invented activities which would be suitable for all the participants in the region which would traverse across all the races in the West. Therefore, it means that new cultures and events will be generated over time in the American West due to the socialization with variant individuals from different races and ethnic groups.
4. After you’ve drafted your post, read through it and identify at least two images, pictures, TV/movie clips, or soundtracks that embody your ideas of the American Wes.

The culture of the United States has a major global influence, especially in Western countries. American music, films, and television are popular worldwide. While the early US was seen as agricultural with little cultural significance, US cities now offer world-class performances, museums, and institutions of higher education. Hollywood cinema is one of the most successful entertainment industries and remains influential globally. American literature draws from European influences and genres but has developed distinctive styles. Theater is strongly tied to other art forms and genres that were introduced from Europe. The visual arts feature contemporary works and major collections in museums, especially in New York City. American cuisine is highly diverse and varies regionally depending on population and culture.

My Topic: Jazz Freedom
My Research Question: How did the Great Migration in the United States of America contribute to the development and spread of Jazz Music?
1) According to Foner (311), within ten years of Columbus’ voyage to the new world, a significant number of Africans were resettled into the New Atlantic economy powered by slave labor during the great migration.
· In the early 20th century, Europeans saw the new lands in America as a dreamland for creating vast wealth and endless enjoyment which they eventually did.
· However, for the Africans, this period signified great injustice in the institution of slavery which was openly and legally carried out.
· White Southern slave owners tried to justify the enslavement of those of African descent and how the course undermines their justification
· In later years, institution of slavery was resisted by both Whites and Blacks especially prior to the American civil war and Africans used Jazz music for consolation.
2) According to Cohn, jazz music developed as a result of the African American heritage that was shaped in slavery, poverty, hard labor and persecution. The themes common to jazz such as love and betrayal in love, comedy, tragedy, desolation, drunkenness, joy among others, are to be traced to this African American origin.
· At the root of jazz music is blues
· Jazz developed regional manifestations as it spread to the Mid-South, Tidewater-Piedmont, Chicago, Detroit, New York and Los Angeles.
· It took many different stylistic dimensions
· There are many contemporary manifestations of the genre as well.
3) According to Carney (299) in the beginning of the twentieth century, jazz music became constructed by White, Creole and Black musicians through improvisation.
· The new music reflected both the rural and urban anomalies
· “Race, ethnicity, and culture helped shape the creation of jazz music by focusing on two groups of musicians: Jelly Roll Morton, Jack Laine, and Buddy Bolden; and their musical ancestors, Sidney Bechet, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, and Joe Oliver” (Carney 299).
· The VooDoo dance rhythms of the African Americans were the root of jazz.
· These were popular among the slaves in the early 20th century America.
4) According to Burns, there were many episodes in the thematic and chronological development of jazz music.
· In the period between 1917 and 1961, Burns highlights greats such as Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, and Louis Armstrong.
· The contemporary era can be traced back to 1961 to date.
· A number of major jazz musicians are highlighted including Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
· Other listed musicians of note include Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis.
5) According to Gioia (18) the freedom in the movement of jazz in New Orleans, is the result of the French colonial rules that allowed the Africans to keep their drums. The bawdy houses .

174 Response and Resistance
Americanization, Modernity, and the Second Generation through the 1930s
In 1926, the journal Survey Graphic featured the autobiography of Kazuo Kawai, a young Japanese American who had immigrated to the United States at the age of six. Although not native-born, he was presented as an exemplar of the second-generation experience. Kawai said that life as an Am^icanized person ofjapanese ancestry had been difficult and confusing. During his high school years, he identified with American culture and did not connect with 5 classmates whom he viewed as overly ’Japanesy" In college, however, where he was no -longer surrounded by other Japanese Americans, he grew increasingly self-conscious about &his racial "otherness.” "[For] the first time," said Kawai:
I felt myself becoming identified with Japan, and began to realize that I was Japanese ...What would I be able to do in Japan?... I couldn't speak the language except for a silly baby-talk ... I didn't know any of the customs or traditions of Japan/'1 He continued, “Where did I belong?... in language, in thought, in ideals, in custom, in everything, I was American. But America wouldn't have me... Once I was American, but America made a foreigner out of me—Not a Japanese, but a foreigner—a foreigner to any country for I am just as much a foreigner to Japan as to America.2
Such sentiments were common among young Asian Americans―both U.S. and foreign ,born~during the early twentieth century For the most part, they considered themselves American, but in the course of their lives, came to realize that their ethnic backgrounds and /. "OrientaT faces impeded their full belonging in American society
This chapter examines the Eves of Asian Americans against the backdrop of modernity U jn the early twentieth century with a focus on issues such as education, work, politics, racism, / popular culture, and generational relations. It pays particular attention to young Asian Americans, mainly second-generation Japanese Americans (Nisei) and Chinese Americans, whose experiences have been the most widely documented, although the lives of U.S.-born and /or young Filipinos, Koreans, South Asians, and Asian Americans of mixed parentage will also be considered. The chapter will discuss the pressures and challenges that young 'Asian Americans faced, whether from their own families and ethnic communities or the

The document discusses the history of immigration to the United States. It describes how Native Americans were the first inhabitants thousands of years ago, and how European colonization beginning in the 15th century greatly reduced the Native American population through disease and warfare. It then outlines the major waves of immigration to the US from Europe and elsewhere between the 19th and 20th centuries, including large numbers from Ireland during the potato famine, Germany after the failed 1848 revolution, Jews fleeing eastern Europe, and Hispanics from Mexico and Central/South America. US immigration policy changed in the 1960s to prioritize family reunification and skills-based immigration over national quotas.
American English developed as a distinct variety from British English starting in the 17th century with the English colonization of North America. Some expressions considered "Americanisms" today were originally British terms that were preserved in America but later lost in Britain. Spanish also influenced American English with words like canyon, ranch, and stampede. American English went through periods of divergence from British English during the Colonial period, establishment as a standard during the National period, and international influence during the modern International period as American culture has spread globally.
Native American civilizations had developed across the Americas for thousands of years prior to European contact. Some of the most advanced civilizations included the Inca Empire in Peru, the Maya civilization in Central America, and the Aztec Empire in central Mexico, which dominated a large region through military power and enforced tribute. When Europeans arrived in the late 15th century, they brought diseases that devastated Native populations and profoundly impacted existing societies, making conquest by the Spanish and Portuguese easier. However, Native American influences still remained strong.

3. American language
The indigenous languages of America are those
languages originated and developed in the
American continent, including the islands of its
continental shelf, from the first human
settlement until before the arrival of Europeans,
Africans and Asians, having been extinct many
since then until the present.
4.
5. History
Before the arrival of the Europeans to the New
World, Amerindian languages were spoken from what
is now Canada to the southern tip of South America
by the ancestors of the present Amerindians. During
the last 500 years many of the Native American
ethnicities and languages have disappeared, although
several hundreds of them still speak. Today, three
Indo-European languages (Spanish, English and
Portuguese) are politically dominant in each
American country, and native languages have less
prestige and are used in very limited areas.
6. Distribution
We can only estimate approximately the number of
native surviving languages and their number of
speakers, especially in South America where they are
worse documented than in North America,
Mesoamerica or Central America.
Approximately 375 million (Three hundred seventy-five
million)people speak English as their first language.
English today is probably the third largest language
by number of native speakers, after Chinese
Mandarin and Spanish.
7.
8. Characteristics
Linguistic diversity is what characterizes the
Amerindian languages of North America, Mesoamerica,
Central America and South America, in all aspects:
phonological, morphosyntactic and lexico-semantic. In
fact, there are no characteristics common to all of
them, which reflects their diverse origin.
9.
10. Religion in the United States is characterized by a
diversity of religious beliefs and practices. Various
religious faiths have flourished within the United
States. A majority of Americans report that religion
plays a very important role in their lives, a proportion
unique among developed countries.
11. Historically, the United States has always been marked
by religious pluralism and diversity, beginning with
various native beliefs of the pre-colonial time. In colonial
times, Anglicans, Roman Catholics and mainline
Protestants, as well as Jews, arrived from Europe. Eastern
Orthodoxy has been present since the Russian colonization
of Alaska. Various dissenting Protestants, who left
the Church of England, greatly diversified the religious
landscape. The Great Awakenings gave birth to
multiple Evangelical Protestant denominations;
membership in Methodist and Baptist churches increased
drastically in the Second Great Awakening. In the 18th
century, deism found support among American upper
classes and thinkers.
12. The Episcopal Church, splitting from the Church of
England, came into being in the American Revolution.
New Protestant branches
like Adventism emerged; Restorationists and other
Christians like the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Latter Day
Saint movement, Churches of Christ and Church of
Christ, Scientist, as well
as Unitarian and Universalistcommunities all spread in
the 19th century. Pentecostalism emerged in the early
20th century as a result of the Azusa Street
Revival. Scientology emerged in the 1950s. Unitarian
Universalism resulted from the merge of Unitarian and
Universalist churches in the 20th century. Beginning in
1990s, the religious share of Christians is decreasing due
to secularization, while Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam,
and other religions are spreading. Protestantism,
historically dominant, ceased to be the religious
category of the majority in the early 2010s.
13. History
From early colonial days, when some English and
German settlers came in search of religious freedom,
America has been profoundly influenced by
religion. That influence continues in American culture,
social life, and politics. Several of the original Thirteen
Colonies were established by settlers who wished to
practice their own religion within a community of like-
minded people: the Massachusetts Bay Colony was
established by English Puritans (Congregationalists),
Pennsylvania by British Quakers, Maryland by
English Catholics, and Virginia by English Anglicans.
Despite these, and as a result of intervening religious
strife and preference in England the Plantation Act
1740 would set official policy for new immigrants
coming to British America until the American
Revolution.
14.
15. Literature
American literature is the literature written or
produced in the area of the United States and
its preceding colonies. For more specific discussions of
poetry and theater, see Poetry of the United
States and Theater in the United States. During its
early history, America was a series of British colonies
on the eastern coast of the present-day United States.
Therefore, its literary tradition begins as linked to the
broader tradition of English literature. However,
unique American characteristics and the breadth of its
production usually now cause it to be considered a
separate path and tradition.
16. movies
The cinema of the United States, often metonymously
referred to as Hollywood, has had a profound effect on
cinema across the world since the early 20th century.
The dominant style of American cinema is Classical
Hollywood Cinema, which developed from 1917-1960
and characterizes most films to this day. While the
French Lumière Brothers are generally credited with
the birth of modern cinema,[7] it is American cinema
that soon became the most dominant force in an
emerging industry. Since the 1920s, the American film
industry has grossed more money every year than that
of any other country.
17. theater
Theater of the United States is based in the Western
tradition. Regional or resident theaters in the United
States are professional theater companies outside of
New York City that produce their own seasons.
18. Tv SHow
United States is an American sitcom (dramedy) that
aired on NBC from March 11 until April 29, 1980.
Larry Gelbart, the show's executive producer and chief
writer, said the name United States was not a reference
to the country but rather to "the state of being united
in a relationship". Gelbart envisioned a series that
would be "a situation comedy based on the real things
that happen in my marriage and in the marriages of
my friends".
19. Urban art
Nobody loves slumlords, but some vigilante artists are
taking it a step further and shaming them by spray painting
and wheat-pasting murals with details about code
violations on neglected Baltimore buildings.
While their work draws attention to urban decay, cities like
Baltimore have also embraced street art as a means of
urban beautification. And for a growing number of
travelers, notable examples of street art by name brands
like Banksy have become don’t-miss attractions that often
draw them out of downtown and into emerging
neighborhoods.
20. The music of the United States reflects the country's multi-
ethnic population through a diverse array of styles. It is a
mixture of music influenced by West African, Irish, Scottish
and mainland European among others. The country's most
internationally renowned genres are jazz, blues, country,
bluegrass, rock, rhythm and blues, soul, ragtime, hip hop,
barbershop, pop, experimental, techno, house, dance,
boogaloo, salsa, and rock and roll. The United States has the
world's largest music market with a total retail value of 4,898.3
million dollars in 2014,[1] and its music is heard around the
world. Since the beginning of the 20th century, some forms of
American popular music have gained a near global audience.
21. Paintings
Visual art of the United States or American art is visual art made
in the United States or by American artists. Before colonization
there were many flourishing traditions of Native American art,
and where the Spanish colonized Spanish Colonial architecture
and the accompanying styles in other media were quickly in
place. Early colonial art on the East Coast initially relied on
artists from Europe, with John White (1540-c. 1593) the earliest
example. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, artists
primarily painted portraits, and some landscapes in a style based
mainly on English painting. Furniture-makers imitating English
styles and similar craftsmen were also established in the major
cities, but in the English colonies, locally made pottery remained
resolutely utilitarian until the 19th century, with fancy products
imported.
22. Braking bad is one of the most
famous series in the United States?
True False
28. Football
Is a team sport played between two sets of eleven players
each and some referees who are concerned that the
standards are met correctly. It is widely considered the
most popular sport in the world, as it is practiced by
some 270 million people. It is also known as soccer
association or football association, name derived from
The Football Association, the first official federation of
the world in this sport and that used that name to
distinguish it from other sports that include the word
"soccer" or "soccer". In some English-speaking countries
it is also known as soccer, abbreviation of association,
since the name of football in those countries is
associated mainly to other sports with that name.
29. Basketball
Is a team sport, played between two sets of five
players each. The goal of the team is to score
points by introducing a ball through the
basket, a hoop 3.05 meters above the surface of
the playing field from which a net hangs. The
score for each basket or basket is two or three
points, depending on the position from which
the shot is made, or one, if it is a free kick for a
foul by an opposing player. The winning team is
the one that gets the highest number of points.
30. Badminton
Is a racquet sport in which two players (single or
single) or two pairs (double) are located in the
opposite halves of a rectangular track divided by a
net.
Unlike other racket sports, badminton is not played
with a ball, but with a steering wheel.
Players must hit the racket with their rackets so that
it crosses the runway above the net and falls into the
opposing sector. The point ends when the steering
wheel touches the ground, after surpassing the net.
31. Swimming
Is the movement and movement through
the water through the use of the body
extremities and usually without using any
instrument or support to advance,
swimming is generally done for recreation,
sport, exercise or survival. Humans can
hold underwater breathing and perform
rudimentary locomotor swimming, this can
be done weeks after birth as an evolutionary
response.
32. Baseball
It is considered one of the most popular sports in
Australia, Canada, Colombia, South Korea, Cuba, the
United States, Holland, Italy, Japan, Mexico,
Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic,
South Africa, Taiwan and Venezuela. The countries
considered as powers of this sport are concentrated in
America (North, Central, Caribbean) and in Asia,
being the European and African continents the most
behind. Nevertheless Europe has two good exponents
(Holland and Italy) ; And in Africa it is possible to
emphasize the selection of South Africa.

66. MUSIC
The music of the United States reflects the
country's multi-ethnic population
through a diverse array of styles.
The country's most internationally renowned genres
are jazz,blues,country,bluegrass,rock,hip hop
67. Characteristics
oThe music of the United States can be
characterized by the use f syncopation and
asymmetrical rhythms, long,
irregular melodies, which are said to "reflect
the wide open geography of (the American
landscape)" and the "sense of personal freedom
characteristic of American life". Some distinct
aspects of American music, like the call and
response format, are derived from African
techniques and instruments.
68. The United States has produced many popular
musicians and composers in the modern world.
Beginning with the birth of recorded music,
American performers have continued to lead
the field of popular music, which out of "all the
contributions made by Americans to world
culture... has been taken to heart by the entire
world
70. Scholarship
The scholarly study of music in the United
States includes work relating music to
social class, racial, ethnic and religious
identity, gender and sexuality, as well as
studies of music history, musicology, and
other topics.
71. Holidays and festivals
Music is an important part of several
American holidays, especially playing a
major part in the wintertime celebration
of Christmas. Music of the holiday includes
both religious songs like "O Holy Night"
and secular songs like "Jingle Bells".
Patriotic songs like the national anthem,
"The Star-Spangled Banner", are a major
part of Independence Day celebrations.
95. American Food
The cuisine of the United States reflects its history.
The European colonization of the Americas yielded
the introduction of a number of ingredients and
cooking styles to the latter. The various styles
continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th
centuries, proportional to the influx of immigrants
from many different nations; such influx developed a
rich diversity in food preparation throughout the
country.
96. Early Native Americans utilized a number of cooking
methods in early American Cuisine that have been
blended with early European cooking methods to form
the basis of American Cuisine. When the colonists
came to the colonies, they farmed animals for clothing
and meat in a similar fashion to what they had done in
Europe. They had cuisine similar to their
previous British cuisine.
97. The American colonial diet varied depending on the settled
region in which someone lived. Commonly hunted game
included deer, bear, buffalo, and wild turkey. A number
of fats and oils made from animals served to cook much of
the colonial foods. Prior to the Revolution, New Englanders
consumed large quantities of rum and beer, as maritime
trade provided them relatively easy access to the goods
needed to produce these items: rum was the distilled spirit
of choice, as the main ingredient, molasses, was readily
available from trade with the West Indies. In comparison to
the northern colonies, the southern colonies were quite
diverse in their agricultural diet and did not have a central
region of culture.
98. Pre-colonial cuisine
Seafood in the United States originated with
the Native Americans, who often ate cod, lemon
sole, flounder, herring, halibut, sturgeon, smelt, dru
m on the East Coast, and olachen and salmon on the
West Coast. Whale was hunted by Native Americans
off the Northwest coast, especially by the Makah,
and used for their meat and oil.
99. Colonial period
When the colonists came to Virginia, Massachusetts,
or any of the other English colonies on the eastern
seaboard of North America, their initial attempts at
survival included planting crops familiar to them from
back home in England. In the same way, they farmed
animals for clothing and meat in a similar fashion.
Through hardships and eventual establishment of
trade with Britain, the West Indies and other regions,
the colonists were able to establish themselves in the
American colonies with a cuisine similar to their
previous British cuisine.
100. Post-colonial cuisine
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Americans
developed many new foods. Some, such as Rocky
Mountain oysters, stayed regional; some spread
throughout the nation but with little international
appeal, such as peanut butter (a core ingredient of the
famous peanut butter and jelly sandwich); and some
spread throughout the world, such as popcorn, Coca-
Cola and its competitors, fried chicken, cornbread,
unleavened muffins such as the poppyseed muffin,
and brownies.
101. Modern cuisine
During the Progressive Era (1890s–1920s) food
production and presentation became more
industrialized. Major railroads featured upscale
cuisine in their dining cars. Restaurant chains
emerged with standardized decor and menus, most
famously the Fred Harvey restaurants along the route
of the Sante Fe Railroad in the Southwest.
102. At the universities, nutritionists and home economists
taught a new scientific approach to food. During
World War I the Progressives' moral advice about food
conservation was emphasized in large-scale state and
federal programs designed to educate housewives.
Large-scale foreign aid during and after the war
brought American standards to Europe.
103. Newspapers and magazines ran recipe columns, aided
by research from corporate kitchens, which were major
food manufacturers like General Mills, Campbell's,
and Kraft Foods. One characteristic of American
cooking is the fusion of multiple ethnic or regional
approaches into completely new cooking styles. For
example, spaghetti is Italian, while hot dogs are
German; a popular meal, especially among young
children, is spaghetti containing slices of hot
dogs. Since the 1960s Asian cooking has played a
particularly large role in American fusion cuisine.
