New York, a global city
In looking this picture, you guess which the city is I want to talk
about.
New York City is a famous town all around the world and considered as a
cosmopolitan city because of a large population with various ethnic groups.
In the sixties, a segregation is present in the city and through the
country. Nowadays, segregation disappeared but a lot of boroughs exist and are
defined with a specific population. For example, Brooklyn is a poor quarter and
Upper East Side is a rich quarter nevertheless they are in the same town. In the
north of New York there is Harlem, a place previously reserved for black people;
in the south of Manhattan there is a district with a Jewish population.
Moreover, Wall Street is a famous district of business and the 5th
Avenue is the most well-known avenue in the world.
If I tell you “Big Apple” or the city that never sleeps, you answer me
New York.
A lot of cultural elements coexist like art with museum, theater or
entertainment show in Broadway and sport with baseball, football or basketball.
Besides, exist districts like Little Italy or Chinatown that represent as a
little country with language, culture and way of life.
Many characteristics of New York are famous all around the world. The Statue
of Liberty is a symbol of the city and of the country. Both Empire State
Building and Rockefeller Center are some of importants buildings of the city. Then,
Grand Central Terminal is more than just a simple station because it takes part
of different movies. Finally, Central Park is an emblem for New York City because
it is immense with many activities, a zoo, a castle, restaurants and other
things.
As a conclusion, to my point of view New York City is a representation
of global culture because within the same town there are different cultures and
different religions. It is a city and a way of life well-known through the worldwide.
People talk about globalization and multiculturalism within New York City.
Hey!
ReplyDeleteI really like what you wrote, and I agree with you because New York it is a of ethnic communities that make it seem like you are miles away in another country rather than in the bustling city.
I enjoy the mix of cultures in New York City and other boroughs like Bronx, Manhattan Queens Brooklyn and Staten Island. New York City displays multiculturalism through the integration of immigrants, who have helped shape the city into what it is today. Indeed, it is the perseverance of the ancestry of each culture, in the face of great challenges (such as racism and the fear of persecution) that created the crucible for which New York is renowned. Immigration has had a tremendous impact on the city, to the point where you can taste, feel and hear about many cultures around the world.
Moreover, I share your opinion on the fact that city of New York is a representation of world culture because, in the same city, there are different cultures and different religions. It is a city and way of life well known all over the world. People talk about globalization and multiculturalism in New York, and more about fashion, music, food and more. Its cultural diversity means that New York’s neighborhoods have played a key role in many different art forms and genres, such as Yiddish theater in the Lower East Side, hip hop and graffiti in the Bronx, pop art in the East Village, the jazz and literature of the Harlem Renaissance, and the continued massive success of the Broadway theatre district.
Thank you for your post.
I totally agree with your point of view ! For me New York is the perfect example to explain what is a gobal culture. Indeed, NYC is a global center for the televison, music, arts, fashion...
ReplyDeleteIn my point of view, New York is the most wonderful city because in the same city there are several religions, cultures, languages and that's why NYC is famous don't you think ?
Like you said in your article many American cultural movements first emerged in the city like Italian, African... I think because there is the famous myth : "The American Dream". Thanks to this myth or the reality I don't know, , many people came from different country in the aim of succeed in NYC. That's why there are many culture in the same place !
Thanks for your interesting post !!!
