In what ways do changes in identity or community influence changes in culture in American society?
The changes in the community can influence change in the American society. I think that the people that are accustomed to doing thig the way that theyve always done i think that they should try something new. a change in the community can be good because peopel would have to do things differently.
Social conformity, cultural unity, and cultural diversity are all methods of action when people are placed in a society. Many might just conform, and change their behavior to fit the mold of their new atmosphere. Others allow their cultural identity to blend with that of their newest society in an equilibrium; slowly, like a melting pot, unifying the ways of life. Lastly, many might choose to remain diverse and let their culture and that of society coexist without interference.
