4.  The culture of the United States is
primarily a Western culture, but is also
influenced by Native
American, African, Asian, Polynesian, and
Latin American cultures. American culture
started its formation over 10,000 years ago
with the migration of Paleo-Indians from Asia
into the region that is today the continental
United States. It has its own unique social and
cultural characteristics such as
dialect, music, arts, social habits, cuisine, and
folklore. The United States of America is an
ethnically and racially diverse country as a
result of large-scale immigration from many
different countries throughout its history.

24.  Theater of the United States is based in the Western
tradition and did not take on a unique dramatic identity
until the emergence of Eugene O'Neill in the early
twentieth century, now considered by many to be the
father of American drama. O'Neill is a four time winner
of the Pulitzer Prize for drama and the only American
playwright to win the Nobel Prize for literature. After
O'Neill, American drama came of age and flourished
with the likes of Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams,
Lillian Hellman, William Inge, and Clifford Odets
during the first half of the twentieth century. After this
fertile period, American theater broke new ground,
artistically, with the absurdist forms of Edward Albee
in the 1960s.
