The United States of America is the most culturally diverse country in the world in
terms of culture, religion, ethnicity and sexual orientation. As a combination of various
races and cultures, America is home to all. The culture here is so unique tat citizens can
be just as proud of their original cultural heritage as they are to be Americans.
What is now the US was initially inhabited ( 居住) by native people until the land
was settled by various European groups and African slaves. Since the 20th century, the
country has become a heaven for people from all over the globe.
The arrival of immigrants has removed populations from rural areas into cities
because immigrants tend to settle in urban areas. At present, 81 percent of the citizens in
the US live in cities.
Cultural and ethnic diversity adds a unique flavor to cities that is expressed through
different neighborhoods, restaurants, places of worship, museums, nightlife and
multicultural learning environments.
Unique musical forms, such as jazz, rock and roll, Chicano music, and the blues,
grow in the US by mixing a variety of culturally distinct musical traditions to create a
new form.

two posts on the Supreme Court are held by members of the country’s two largest
minorities. There is also diversity in state and local governments.
