Diversity in the U.S. of A.

In the United States, diversity is not only present in the culture, but also things like food, sports, music, etc.  In Texas especially, there is a large Hispanic impact on our food (breakfast tacos, anyone?), religion (like Catholicism), and music (Selena).  These influences have made places like Austin special in its own way, and without these influences, the people of Austin wouldn't be who they are today. 

Every single place in the United States has their own influences on their culture, which makes almost every place in the United States different from one another.  But, even though these places differ, things like food can be found common.  For example, pizza is one of the most loved american dishes even though it actually originated from Italy.  Also, chinese food, Mexican food, and many other types of food from different countries have blended with the american culture to form many of the favorite dishes that America has today.   

When it comes to music, it is easy to tell that it has a large impact on American society.  Genres range from bluegrass to rap, and from classical to rock.   Some of these genres have actually blended to for new types of music that americans grow to love.   

Religion is also a large part of american society, along with politics.  Sometimes, both religion and politics go hand in hand with each other, which makes many issues debatable.  Things like abortion in the U.S. is something that many americans have been very opinionated about, along with things like deciding who the next president is.  Both religion and politics have molded the United States into the very differently opinionated society that it is today. 

Overall, america wouldn't be the "melting pot" it is today if it weren't for the vast variety of influences from other countries that lets the citizens of America chose what type of lifestyle they live.
