    The document discusses how the United States can be divided into cultural regions based on the distinctive cultural groups that have created cultural landscapes. It identifies 10 global cultural realms defined by their shared language families, religious traditions, and ethnicities. These cultural factors contribute to regional identity and sense of place, while also creating centripetal forces that draw people together and centrifugal forces that push people apart based on cultural differences. Regions are matched to the cultural realms and reasons are provided for the matches on a map of the United States.
