Through the use of representative and distinguished literature, this essay should aim to bring the reader a clearer sense of a variety of cultures, as well American sub-cultures and the “new” cultures impacting America. Scrutinize masterworks of whatever applies in the book such as, for example, any Latin, Asian, Islamic, African, and minority American culture, in order to go beyond mere cultural stereotypes or lack of knowledge to a reasonable understanding of the significant characteristics of these cultures, to determine what they are and how they are similar or differ from each other and the principal American culture of our times.
