middle easten culture, and african culture.

The term of western culture has come to define culture of European countries as well

as those that have been heavily influenced by European immigration, such as the United

States. Western has its roots in the classical periode of Greco-Roman era and the rise of

Christianity in the 14th century. Today, the fluences of western culture can be seen in almost

every country in the world.

The eastern culture generally refers to the societal norms of countries in Far East

Asia. Like the west, eastern cullture was really heavily influenced by religion during its early
development, bt it was also heavily influenced by the growth and harvesting of rice. In

genera, in eastern culture there is less of distinction between secular society and religous

philosophy than there is in the west.

typically defined as those parts of the central america, south america, and mexico where

spanish or portuguese are the dominant languages.

countries of the middle east have in common. The middle east is the birthplace of judaism,

christianity, and islam.

years ago. Africa is home to a number of tribes, ethnic, and social groups. Currently africa is

divided to two cultural-groups because the northwest africa has strong ties to middle east

while sub-saharan africa shares historical, physical, and social characteristics that are very

different from north africa.
