What is an interdependent culture?

What is your view of British culture?

  • At university, I am studying a topic on culture and diversity. In view of this we have been asked to look at the British culture. I am British, but I think it is difficult to identify what the culture is, as it has become more and more diverse. I am only 20 but I suppose if I was to ask my parents or my grandparents they would be able to tell me what the British culture was like. I haven't travelled much abroad but when I went on holiday to Turkey a few years ago, I think you become more aware of what your own culture is as you have been taken away from it. A few things I have identified of British culture, is having family Sunday roast dinners, being polite, waiting in ques, grandparents going into care homes instead of families taking on responsibility, pubs. So I wanted do you think it means to be British? Thanks :)

  • Answer:

    I think Britain still has a good varied culture, generally speaking. True British people on the whole tend to have a reserved but caring nature, they are 'fair' and try to be polite to others but they like to have material things and earn good money. With regards to British traditions there is fish and chips, roast dinners, red phone boxes, pubs with gardens, old historical places, rainy days at the seaside, class distinctions etc. There are plenty others besides.

I'm American--born& raised and my whole family is American. I've never been to Europe, but I definitely want to go and I'm excited to go there. As for British Culture, we Americans know very little about British culture because we dont live over there. But I think that most Americans will say that we think that British people and Europeans in general are more "proper" than Americans. We think they have better etiquette than Americans.
