Cross Cultural Comparisons

How to tell if you're from [ ... ] ?

This project began when Mark Rosenfelder took up the challenge to define what constitutes American culture. Eventually, other people, inspired by his format, submitted descriptions of their own cultures to his website. Some of the similarities and differences are expected while some are surprising. I thought it would be fun to organize all of these "culture tests" by subject so that direct comparisons can be made. The sections on US and Canadian regions should be viewed as supplements to the main sections. If you would like to add your own culture or subculture to this page, feel free to send your description to me at yvain@ix.netcom.com. And be sure to check out Mark Rosenfelder's Metaverse for the original pages this is based on as well as a lot of other great stuff.
