language by law. Englishmen are much less self-conscious about their
nationality than Scotsmen, Irishmen or Welshmen. But the Irish are
desperately afraid of being laughed at; Scots are more frank in the
expression of opinion and in the display both of anger and sentiment;
and the Welsh prefer to live in small groupings — they are countrymen,
not townsmen and the family is the centre of Welsh life. And whereas
a country like Britain exhibits considerable variation in climate and
landscape, the differences across the continental US are extreme. Less
apparent at first thought is that much of what was once said to be
typically British or American is often no longer just British or
American.
Analyse the chart describing basic mutual and discriminating
parameters of British and American cultures: history, religion,
philisohpy, social models, socio-cultural, psychological, communicative
and behavioural characterictics. Discuss them in the group.
