由于古罗马不断扩大其帝国，他们 的拉丁语（Lain），成为欧洲西部 多数地区，包括大不列颠在内的不 同民族的通用语言
多数凯尔特人逃避罗马人和随 后的侵入者，移民至英国威尔 士（Wales）山区，苏格兰 （Scotland）的高原和岛屿，爱 尔兰（Ireland），马恩岛（the Isle of Man（马恩岛）），康 沃尔郡（Cornwall）。由于这些 地方偏僻，这些部落延续了他 们的语言。今天的威尔士人， 苏格兰的盖尔语（Scottish Gaeli），和爱尔兰的盖尔语 （Scottish Gaeli）都留存了下 来。
例如，从居住在该地区的一些特 殊部落，可以得知：英国南部的 肯特州（Kent）来自坎特西部落 （Cantiaci tribe）；
Devon（德文郡：英国郡名） from the Dumnonill and Cornwall （康沃 尔郡）from the Cornovii.
英国德文郡（Devon）来自杜蒙 里（Dumnonill）部落；而康沃尔 （Cornwall）郡则由科落伟里 （Cornovii）部落演变而来。
In the past, changes (in vocabulary, structures and syntax) happened so slowly that they were frequently unnoticeable to those speaking the language. But the introduction (of widespread education , radio and television ) , and the greater mobility（易变性、可动性） (of the population), have speeded up the process.

英美文化概论期末英文论文1
American MusicThe music of the U.S. reflects the country’s multi-ethnic population through a diverse array of styles. Rock’n roll, rhythm, country, blues, jazz, and hip hop are among the country’s most internationally-renowned genres. The U.S. has the world’s largest music industry and also its music is heard around the world. Since the beginning of the 20th century, some types of American popular music have gained a near global audience. Native Americans were the earliest inhabitants of the U.S. and played its first music. Begining in the 17th century, immigrants from the British, Spain, Isles, and France began arriving in large numbers, bringing with them new styles and instruments. African slaves also brought musical traditions, and each subsequent wave of immigrants contributed to a melting pot.Much of modern popular music can trace back to the emergence in the late 19th century of African American blues and the growth of gospel music in the 1920s. The African American basis for popular music used elements derived from European and indigenous music. The U.S. has also seen documented folk music and recorded popular music produced in the ethnic styles of the Ukrainian, Polish, Hispanic, Irish, Scottish and Jewish communities, among others. Many American cities and towns have vibrant music scenes which, in turn, support a lot of regional musical styles. Aiong with musical centers such as Detroit, Chicago, New Y ork, Nashville and Los Angeles, many smaller cities have produced distinctive styles of music. The Creole and Cajun traditions in Louisiana music, the bluegrass and old time music of the Southeastern states and the folk and popular styles of Hawaiian music are a few examples of diversity in American music.Folk musicFolk music in the U.S. is varied across the country’s numerous ethnic groups. The native American tribes play their own varieties of folk music, most of it spiritual in nature. The native Americans played the first folk music in what is now the U.S., using a wide variety of techniques and styles. Some commonalities are near universal among native American traditional music, however, especially the lack of polyphony and harmony, and the use of vocables and descending melodic figures. Tradional instrumentations uses the flute and many kinds of percussion instruments, like rattles, drums, and shakers. Since African and European contact was established, native American folk music has grown in new directions, into fusions with disparate styles like European folk dances and Tejano music. Modern native American music may be best known for pan-tribal gatherings, powwow gatherings at which traditionally styled music and dances are performed.Blues and SpiritualsSpirituals were primarily expressions of religius faith, sung by slaves on southern plantations. In the mid to late 19th century, spirituals spread out of the United States South. In 1871 Fisk University became home to the Jubilee Singers, a pioneering griup that popularized spirituals across the country. In imitation of this group, gospel quartets arose, followed by increasing diversification with the early 20th century rise of jackleg and singing preachers.Blues is a combination of African field hollers, work songs and shouts. It developed in the rural south in the first decade of the 20th century. The most important features of the blues is its use of the blue scale, with a flatted or indeterminate third, as well as the typically lamenting lyrics;through these elements had existed in African American folk music prior to the 20th century, the codified form of modern blues did not exist until the early 20th century.Classical musicThe European classical music tradition was brought to the U.S. with some of the first colonists.European classical music is rooted in the traditions of European art, concert and ecclesiastical music. The central norms of this tradition developed between 1550 and 1825, centering on what was known as the common practice period. Many American classical composers tried to work entirely within European models until late in 19th century. When Antonin Dvooak, a prominent Czech composer, visited the U.S. from 1892 to 1895, he iterated the idea that American classical music needed its own models instead of imitating European composers. He also helped to inspire subsequent composers to make a distinctly American style. By the beginning of 20th century, many American composers were incorporating disparate elements into their work, ranging from blues and jazz to native American music.Popular musicThe U.S. has produced many popular composers and musicians 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 center by the whole world”. Most histories of popular music start with American Tin Pan Alley or ragtime. Other, however, trace popular music back to the European Renaissance and through ballads and other popular tradions. Other authors typically look at popular sheet music, tracing U.S. popular music to minstrel, spirituals shows and vaudeville, or the patriotic songs of the Civil War.JazzJazz is a tpye of music characterized by swung and blue notes, call and response vocals, improvisation and polyrhythms. Though originally a kind of dance music, jazz has been a major part of popular music, and has also become a major element of Western classical music. Jazz has roots in West African musical and classical expression, and in African music traditions including ragtime and blues, as well as European military band music. Early jazz was closely related to ragtime, with which it could be distinguished by the use of more intricate rhythmic improvisation. The earliest jazz bands adopted many vocabularies of the blues,including bent and blue notes, instrumental “growls” and smears otherwise not used on European instruments. Jazz’ro ots come from the city of New Orleans,Louisiana,populated by black Creoles and Cajuns, who combined the French-Canadian culture of the Cajuns with their own styles of music in the 19th century. Large Creole bands that played for funerals and parades became a major basis for early jazz, which spread from Chicago to New Orleans and other northern urban centers.Country musicCountry music is a combination of popular musical forms originally found in the southern U.S. and the Appalachian Mountians. It has roots in traditional folk music, blues, gospel music, Celtic music, hokum, and old-time music and evolved rapidly in the 1920s. The term country music began to be used in the 1940s when the early term hillbilly music was deeded to be degrading, and the term was widely embraced in the 1970s, while western and country have declined in use since that time, except in the U.K., where it is still commonly used.While album sales of most musical genres have declined, country music expericed one of its best years in 2006, when, during the first six months of the year, United States sales of country albums increased by 17.7% to 36 million. Furthermore, country music listening nationwide has remained steady for almost a decade, reaching 77.3 million adults every week.The term “country music” is used to describe many genres, styles, or subgenres and so on.。

英美文化概论论文－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－英美文化概论论文英美文化概况跃跃10084626机自08-2班Differences Between China and USAThe discrimination still exist in America. When you come to America, you may be surprised when you see that Blacks and Whites work side by side in offices , factories , and schools across the country . The majority of Blacks in the United States, however, live in and around only a small number of American cities.we, as Chinese, prefer to think in a spiral, casual way, while western people, more often than not, are fond of a linear, business-is-business way.If you are in China, it is not rare to see that a crowd of people throng in the supermarket, trying to get service first. People in China do line up.In contrast, in USA people always line up, no matter in a big bank or a small grocery store. And they take it for granted. Lining up haslong since become part of their life that they scarcely doubt it or grow impatient while doing it.Secondly, first come, first served. Though in words it is a normal principle here in China, it’s m ostly not the case in reality. Take an example of what usually happens in a bank. Here when we are in a middle-sized bank, and suppose we are talking with the cashier, it always tends to have someone butt in, claiming that his or her request takes only one second.And it seems that we have already been accustomed to it. So has the cashier. But in western countries, it never applies. It is always rude that you butt in while the cashier is serving his customer. No matter how little time your request costs, the cashier, more often than not, is likely to turn you down. Only one customer at a time is his principle. Thirdly, change stuff. Suppose I am in a shopping mall and the stuff I purchase cost me 142 RMB. While lining up at the casher’s and happening to check my wallet, I find I have 200 RMB and two one-Yuan coins. What will I do? To give the cashier 200 RMB, or give him 200 RMB and the two one-Yuan coins so that he could return me 60 RMB, which is more convenient for both of us.I think when the Chinese were in this situation, they would mostly choose the latter one. But in America, they won’t do so. If you try it . The cashier did not understand.So the western people are prone to lack of flexibility while doing their work. TheAmerica think that we Chinese have a tendency to make things complicate. What aninteresting contrast!What I try to say is just that we might well be in conformity with the customs and beaware of the culture differences while being abroad. Like the saying goes—while youare i n Rome, do as Romans do. If you don’t want to put yourself in the public, bearingall this in mind is perhaps the best policy. 中和美之跃的差国国异歧国当你来国跃仍然存在于美。

英美文化概论期末英文论文3－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－Art Crimes---Graffiti模具101 205100236 张轶非Graffiti as one kind of street corner art, with the street dance, talkative, DJ compound is four important elements of the street corner culture. Graffiti can be traced back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.Graffiti refers to a drawing or writing scratched on a wall or other surface .it is understood as an unusual art form today, but it was originally recognized as a contrary behavior or the release of discontented.Graffiti originates from Philadelphia and Pennsylvania in 1966.At first, graffiti is only the concept of tag. And graffiti writers also write their nickname or house number. However, during 1971 to 1974, more and more writers have lucubration in the font and effect, and the wall is not the only medium for them to show their art enthusiasm. Writers play graffiti in the surface of subway cars or trains, even in the toilets.Graffiti and Hip-pop are come from Bronx, the poorest district in the New York. Since 1960s, this area is occupied with Black and Latino. With the rapid development of city and large wealth gap, in these slum areas, some small anti-culture groups are founded. They usually doing bad things, like stealing, fighting etc. Graffiti originates in the edge of the destruction of the New York society.A group of brave child who dares to fight with the American government plays an important role in this crisis.Firstly, it is common to see the ugly tag everywhere in the city. The Bronx is considered a barbarian aggregation. In common sense, it is a damage to draw any paints in the surface of buildings. So, some gifted person started to redesign their tag, other artists realize the wall is the cheapest materials. As a result, graffiti come to people‟s view as a new kind of art form.Graffiti is not only the rebel to the authority, but also a form of art. Due to this unique action, it can easily catch the whole society‟s attentions. People use this creation against the system, express their dissatisfaction and protest against the society.By 1976, some graffiti artists, such as Lee Quinones, started to use more advanced technology for graffiti, his famous works are political, such as demanding to stop arms race.The real graffiti artists have nothing with the clan. They are the poor man from the bottom of the society. They have some new ideals ,these artists play graffiti only for others can see their creations, they called themselves “writer” instead of “painter”, that‟s quite different with others who doing this for some finical or political purposes.The early graffiti culture is fond of a single color, such as the symbols of smoke bits, and Hello, etc. then, the arrows in characters change into a crown. Later, with bright, marked, outstanding as the goal, start painting in the subway or write their name on a wide street and using comparative color or black around it, in order to make their name apparent. The 1970 s, the film's hero and some cartoon characters are common to see in the creations, they are usually appeared negatively. The background of graffiti become more and more complex, and the painting device are improve red to the extreme. The burning sun, stars and scenery give birth to another interesting pictureAn investigation on graffiti has taken place between aesthetics and sociology. Once talking about graffiti culture, he usually gives a depolarization view. Most people saw it as a bad, defiled, crazy, threatening campaign, but there are also some people argue that graffiti is a real aesthetic creation, they call for the real freedom. For example, John Cage thought that we should cherish every graffiti mark. Instead, Norman Mailer appointed that the phenomenon of the graffiti is the rebel of the evil industry in her published book.All the pronouns of graffiti art have become the fashion and character that young people chasing for now. However, this kind of American punk culture has suffered from strong decay. The mayor of New York City even force-out some designers and the LAPD asked for more funds to handle this phenomenon, they considered to use more heavy crimes to put the graffiti writers into prosecution.During the last few decades, many great masters come into the public‟s views, for example, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, etc.Jean-Michel Basquia t isn‟t a graduate, but his creations are one of the most representative examples about colored races problem in American. He used to use colorful Africa images to show his feelings.The china in today has more access to the foreign culture. In the recent years, graffiti is becoming more and more popular among the teens in china, more and greater writers spring up, like the MIG (professional graffiti team in Guangzhou) and the Blcakhands.Some places where gathered a great deal of perfect works have sprung up in shanghai, Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Zhengzhou. Each of them is a legend.In my opinion, graffiti‟s existence has its own reason.One of these reasons is suffers. The United States is a nation of diversity, culturally and socially, and the major body of its population consists of millions of immigrants and many ethnic groups.America is god‟s crucible. So racial discrimination and differs in the culture became a great problem in the later American society.Later, an economic condition of both continuing inflation and stagnant business activity, together with an increasing unemployment rate, these social problems cause the unfairness and wide wealth gap and they have something to do with the background of the society. Graffiti called ……the Renaissance‟ in the slum‟. People were suffering from unfairness and poorness in New York in the 1960s. Graffiti is the way to release the poor‟s anger.Just as what a graffiti writer said, "When you are writing your graffiti on the wall, you will spend all the time on how to make your signature more cool more attractive. You‟ll find 340 font changes for an “A”; we are in this way to understand the balance and harmony in aesthetics". Many designers who once played the graffiti said that graffiti is their starting point for understanding art and design.In their eyes, graffiti influence the mainstream, and it has a closely relation with street culture. It is derived from the street culture. Many famous designers used to have the impulse writing graffiti in the street, because it is a state of freedom and improvisation with no reference and copy, they just looking for a kind of pure pleasure.感谢阅读，欢迎大家下载使用！。

英美文化英语作文The Influence of English and American Culture。
English and American culture have had a significant impact on the world in many different ways. From language and literature to music and film, the influence of English and American culture can be seen and felt around the globe. In this essay, we will explore the ways in which English and American culture have shaped the world and continue to do so today.One of the most obvious ways in which English and American culture have influenced the world is through the spread of the English language. English is now the most widely spoken language in the world, and it is the primary language of international business, diplomacy, and tourism. This is largely due to the historical influence of the British Empire and the economic and cultural dominance of the United States in the 20th century. The spread of English has had a profound impact on global communicationand has helped to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information across borders.In addition to language, English and American culture have also had a significant impact on literature. English literature, in particular, has a long and rich history, with writers such as William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Jane Austen producing some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language.

2. The relationship between education
Unit 7 British Education System
British Education System
◆Introduction ◆History ◆The Present Education System ◆Higher Education
I. Introduction
1.The purpose of the British education system
In 1870, a law was passed to call for government– funded education.
By 1880, attendance at school for children between 5 and 10 was compulsory.
Historically, education was voluntary and many of the schools that existed were set up by churches. The influence of the church on schooling is still strong: until very recently, religious education was the only subject which the state insisted all schools teach their pupils. Daily prayers and singing hymns is still a regular part of school life.
not only to provide children with literacy and the other basic skills they will need to become active members of society
but also to socialize children, learn the rules and values they need to become good citizens, to participate in the community, and to contribute to the economic prosperity of an advanced industrial economy.
基督教是西方文明的象征和基石。英国的好多节日(如
Christmas、Easter holiday)、大学的学期命名(如Lent Term，
Michaelmas Term)都与基督教密切相关。英国的好多著名
大学，如剑桥大学，其前身，实质上就是教会学校，培养传
教士、宣扬神学、维护王权是其最初的目的。
Morning prayer and Grace after meals takes place every day and on Fridays children enjoy a spiritual assembly experience.
Great changes in British educational system
after the Industrial Revolution
Before 1870, only 40% of children under 10 went to school regularly. The main receivers of a more advanced education was the sons of the wealthy.
II. History
Nowadays, the British education system is run by the state, which provides funding, and tries to make sure that all British children receive a quality education. One of the largest, most important government department is the Ministry of Education.
and social class
Britain is a society in which social class is still very important. Class inequality can be erased or continued according to educational policy.
In Britain, the schools you attend are markers that identify your social class. The school tie is a
clear marker of social class.
In Britain, where you are educated is still very important to your future. For example, the “right” universities like Oxford and Cambridge (Oxbridge), is still the single best way to guarantee a successful career. A great number of graduates of Oxbridge dominate government, and are influential in banking, the media, the arts and education.
