Introduction
Diverse and Varied. No country on earth has a population as diverse and a culture as
varied as the United States. It is this very diversity that makes American life as complicated
as it is. On the one hand, the United States is a nation. On the other hand, even after four
centuries, that nation is still a great experiment. The United States occupies a continent and
has many varied regions. Over the course of several centuries, immigrants from all over the
world came to the United States and brought their own cultures and traditions. The tradition
of immigration continues today, creating vital new American communities. The blending of
these traditions gives the United States its great strength as a nation. The same mixture
creates challenges and problems.
