231. For instance the value of things like ecological preservation
Sun Aug 5, 2012, 12:21 PM
Aug 2012

you can make an argument that this is more of a core value in the NorthWest than in Virginia where mining is king and the destruction of mountain tops is ongoing.

Religious values have also been shaped by dominant churches in different regions of the country. Yes, there are deep differences between Pentecostal faiths, and Northern Calvinist ideologies.

The ideas of equality among different groups do indeed vary from the coasts and what at times is derisively called fly over country... but the differences are real, and indeed so are the believes between north and south, scarred by a civil war.

There are other deep cultural differences, such as the centrality of rights, in things such as labor.

All these are just under the surface, and are significant enough that the culture changes.

Now you want obvious, food choices and regional cuisine. THey are what makes any nation rich, but they are also indicators of different cultures.

And yes, if you watch the history of English, it will mark to you the different dialects as well.

It is not necessarily bad... but it becomes a real problem when they become deep.

Yes, people are unified by the struggle to put food on table, as well as another little factor, the US lacks class consciousness, and that is a unifying factor, we simply lack it. And that could be a unifying factor above all the differences, cultural or religious, or even linguistic.
