For #Trump, the nation is less a #MeltingPot where #different #cultures combine harmoniously than a #crucible where foreign notions are burned off & a #homogeneous mix emerges.

“America has always welcomed those who embrace our values, assimilate into our society, & pledge allegiance to our country,” he writes. “By taking this oath, you have forged a sacred bond with our Nation, her traditions, her history, her culture, & her values.”

I appreciate #differences and a multi-#ethnic #society with spaces for diverse #cultures. This is an enrichment in many ways.
The real problems are always caused by socio-economic differences, not cultural or #diversity.

Both sons have come to visit us from Tokyo, as they usually do around the August holidays. We could see our granddaughter twice, and let her get more used to my English. Those are the best photos and videos, but I have to keep them under wraps. Before going to a big shopping mall to meet the family, I checked out the original EXPO 1970 site, and these are photos from there. The Tower of the Sun is quite distinctive, and there are some summer features like wind chimes. EXPO 2025 is in another part of Osaka, and I'm planning to go with one of our sons when the weather gets more moderate. Our granddaughter has already been taken there five times, and what a stimulus such cultural activities are for a four-year-old. She has taken an interest in flags, which leads to a healthy interest in various countries and cultures.

CULTURES GÉOMÉTRIQUES
Depuis Wissant, sur le chemin du Cap-Blanc-Nez, les couleurs froides de la mer règnent à l’ouest tandis que les couleurs chaudes des champs dominent à l’est. Des cultures géométriques habillent d’un patchwork vert et jaune harmonieux le dessus de la falaise.

@anna_lillith #Les #WildlifeServices, une agence du ministère américain de l'Agriculture(#USDA), tuent plus d'un million d'animaux sauvages chaque année, en grande partie pour l'industrie des #animaux d'élevage, par des moyens horribles tels que l'#empoisonnement, les #bombes au cyanure, les #snares au cou et même les tirs d'avion.

En fait, 36,5 % des activités de l'agence visent à "protéger l'#agriculture, y compris le #bétail, les #cultures en rangs, l'#aquaculture et le #bois ", et une grande partie de son budget de 286 millions de dollars est consacrée à la protection de l'environnement.

David B. Himself

I know gender is all the rage these days, because it's been politicized like crazy by both the Right and the Left, but honestly, when I speak with people I don't know (the ones I know too, but it's different, I know them) I care much less about their gender (which won't affect my interactions with them) than their age or nationality. Both will greatly affect our culture and fields of reference and knowing them would prevent many misunderstandings in my opinion.
