Book excerpt: Symbolic meaning of the “Statue of Liberty” on front cover of “Culture Shock” The Statue of liberty on Elis Island, New York, USA was given to America as a gift from France. It is a symbolic message to all immigrant arrivals that the USA stands for freedom. All are welcome. Liberty stands as a symbol of purity with traditional values. The torch held in the uplifted right hand is the lighted pathway to American freedom. The tablet in the left hand represents the date of Independence and the US Constitution upon which the Country was founded. Her expression reflects peacefulness and contentment. The robe that drapes her body is conservative clothing for the entire body. Liberty welcomes immigrants and stands for freedom, embodied in the American principles of traditional values and purity. Conversely, as America has changed from traditional values to a society of permissive values, original traditional values are disappearing and replaced by the more permissive values of the 21st century. The Statue of Liberty on the front cover reflects this change away from traditional values as a “Culture Shock”, noted by the open mouth in astonished realization of value change. The torch in the right uplifted hand is replaced by a cocktail glass of Martini with three olives representing the holy trinity drowning in alcohol. The tablet in the left hand is the Communist Manifesto which has replaced the Constitution as the US moves from democracy toward socialism. America values are changing and headed for an end to American Culture of the founding fathers. American is in “Culture Shock”.

Download or read book Reborn in the USA written by Roger Bennett and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times Bestseller One-half of the celebrated Men in Blazers duo, longtime culture and soccer commentator Roger Bennett traces the origins of his love affair with America, and how he went from a depraved, pimply faced Jewish boy in 1980’s Liverpool to become the quintessential Englishman in New York. A memoir for fans of Jon Ronson and Chuck Klosterman, but with Roger Bennett’s signature pop culture flair and humor. Being a teenager isn’t easy, no matter where in the world you live or how much it does or doesn’t rain in your hometown. As an outsider—a private-schooled Jewish kid in working-class, heavily Catholic Liverpool—Roger Bennett wasn’t winning any popularity contests. But there was one idea, or ideal, that burned bright in Roger’s heart. That was America— with its sunny skies, beautiful women, and cool kids with flipped collars who ate at McDonald’s. When he embraced American popular culture, the dull gray world he lived in turned to neon teal—a color which had not even been invented in England yet. Introduced first through the gateway drug of The Love Boat, then to Rolling Stone, the NFL, John Hughes movies, Run-DMC, and Tracy Chapman, Roger embraced everything that would capture the imagination of a teenager growing up Stateside. When he made a real, in-the-flesh American friend who invited him over for the summer, he got to visit the promised land. A month in Chicago, and a life-changing night spent in the company of the Chicago Bears, was the first hit of freedom, of independence, of the Roger Bennett he knew he could be. (Re)Born in the USA captures the universality of growing pains, growing up, and growing out of where you come from. Drenched in the culture of the late ’80s and ’90s from the UK and the USA, and the heartfelt, hilarious sense of humor that has made Roger Bennett so beloved by his listeners, here is both a truly unique coming-of-age story and the love letter to America that the country needs right now.

Download or read book America Culture Shock written by Ian C. Dawkins Moore and published by Airleaf. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the experience of Culture shock as it affects individuals coming to America, and those who live in America. Each and every individual today suffers from Culture Shock whether they realize it or not. Each and every individual is born to a particular society and culture in the world today, and is confronted daily with a challenge to the notion that his or her world-view is supreme. The globalization of our world has forced upon each of us the realization that our particular cultural perspective is just that, a narrow world view of human activity. This book's intent is to explore the viable and meaningful cultural experiences that we all have, which can be shared, and serve as a bridge to the understanding of our individual and collective humanity.
