The Caribbean Culture

The Caribbean culture is influenced by the British. The conquest was in the 1759. The symbols of the Caribbean include the palm, shell and parrot. Their flag has undergone many changes as time passed by. The origin of their language is basically understood by human capacity, symbolic communication and the origin of complex cultures. Also, it emerges to maintain the coherence within their social group/s like children acquire such knowledge as language as the basic norms of the environment they are growing up in. Therefore, a language is basically an interaction between members of the same cultural society. In the arts field, the Caribbean people follow the trend of the Europeans where it flourished in the 1990s. In literature, it is always divided into English, French and Spanish languages where the perspective is often the nature, the life and their position in the world.

Speaking a language is one of the society’s culture as well as other shared norms or practices, generally. It has become the identity of the group. Its functions are always the same as any other countries’ languages. It is the way to communicate with the people of the same society or group. Here in the Caribbean, there is the so-called multiculturalism and bilingualism. The people here know two or more languages to be able to communicate with outsiders. They also have the so-called cultural protectionism which is to promote Caribbean cultural production and not the foreign ones. This is created by reform conscious constituents as well as interventionists. However, sharing a majority of common language such as the American English is still a difficult position for the Caribbeans to be diffused of the American culture. And though this has to be faced, the Caribbean people still know how to balance any trade arrangement responsibility.
