Kulturraumstudien USA, Homework for October 22nd

For homework, please:

-Read the article "Culture" distributed in class and come up with your own examples of "technical", "formal" and "informal" culture in accordance with Hall's triad

-Listen to "Mississippi Goddam" by Nina Simone and look up five references she makes in the song's lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ25-U3jNWM

-Look up the (span of) years for the following US periods/historical milestones and jot down at least one event that was happening during that period in 1) Germany and 2) a country whose language you speak/you are learning at the TH:

The Revolutionary War
The War of 1812
The Civil War
Reconstruction
The US-Mexican War
World War I
World War II
The Red Scare
The Civil Rights Movement
The Vietnam War
The War on Terror

(Yes, I know it's very war heavy and that's a bummer, but this is how historical timelines about the United States are most often divided, so I want to first work conventionally. But note the cultural significance of that very nature of division!)

As promised, the1964 interview between Hannah Arendt and Günther Gaus on West German television ("Frau Hannah Arendt, Sie sind die erste Frau, die in dieser Reihe porträtiert werden soll"...Gaus would later say that this was "das beste Gespräch, das er je geführt habe"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9SyTEUi6Kw
For a bit of context: Nina Simone wrote "Mississippi Goddam" in 1963.
