Features: Civilization has created the world, and culture has shaped humanity. To minimize confusion and uncertainty and maximize understanding and preparation in the process of integrating into the world, we have planned and organized this series of "World Culture Companions," showcasing countries or closely linked cultural regions with rich cultural heritage. Each book selects around 20 cultural topics, aiming to reveal the individuality and characteristics of different ethnic cultures, thereby achieving the effect of seeing the whole through a glimpse of the part. Deep insights and thoughts are embedded in concrete descriptions and stories, avoiding the problem of poor readability and lack of interest found in similar books. In terms of design, it is also full of ingenuity, combining text and images, where relevant images complement and enrich the text, fully respecting the reading habits and trends of readers in the era of visual consumption. This book is part of the "World Culture Companions" series titled "The Struggle Between the Statue of Liberty and the Material King—The Face and Spirit of American Culture."
