Chapter 9- Ethnicity

Ethnicity is a reference to people’s cultural characteristics and how people identify with one another on the basis of common ancestry and cultural heritage. Everybody has their own cultural characteristics such as distinctive foods, clothes, languages, music or religions. In this picture my boyfriend and I are standing in front of a Christmas tree. I feel like one of the major American cultural characteristics is how we all celebrate holidays. American ethnicity blows holidays up to a huge occasion; Christmas commercials start showing on November first! The Christmas tree is a huge cultural characteristic because it would be a challenge to find an American that did not know what a Christmas tree is.
