America
One country in our western culture escapade.  America has really a great culture. It has gone through fierce wars and many important events that made America the United States of today. Furthermore, I am sure that you all know about cowboys and girls and it is all in America that it evolved and was made famous. You can practically find a lot of cowboy movies even today. This is also the home of great pies and fun baseball, this country is really known for its delicious pies and really exciting baseball.

America too experienced many trials and persecutions even among themselves. Especially when it comes to the relationship of African-Americans and the pure Americans, though their still exist racial discriminations till today, it is nothing compared to what the African-Americans, or also called the Black Americans, has suffered long Ago.

To make the long story short, without the actions made by many Black Americans, one of them namely Martin Luther King Jr. America will surely not be united as it is today.

Mexico
The western culture of cheese and tacos and if you have not tasted tacos and most especially burritos, then you have surely missed the great Mexican cuisine. Tacos and burritos use a common ingredient called tortilla. Tortilla’s has existed for many years and was the most produced source of food long ago. Today, tortilla is known to be the most vital ingredient in burritos and tortillas and without it, you would not get the chance to taste these great foods.

Furthermore, long time ago, the western culture Mexico was inhibited by the Mayan tribe in which their primary crop was corn, which explains why tortilla was famous. However, in 1300s, the Aztecs became the most dominant population in Mexico which, let us say, outnumbered the Mayan tribe. In the Aztec’s rule, spices were now available like salt and chili peppers. It was also at this time that honey and chocolate appeared in the Mexican dish.
