Week 5: Is there a common American culture?

Posted in UNC by focusfridays on September 25, 2006

This week, on Tim C’s suggestion, we’ll be reading Robert Bellah’s article, “is there a common american culture” which examines individualism and the veneration of freedom of personal choice that Americans have done, and how it gets there in U.S. history (Christianity plays a major role, though certainly not as a sufficient condition).

    I have read this article for my religion class and need to summarize it, but I really don’t understand what to write about. Is there anyway you might be able to help me? Thanks so much. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    I doubt you’ll get a response from this website. People rarely visit the older posts.

    good luck.
