One significant way that American culture has changed due to the arrival of new customs and traditions is through the celebration of Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, by Mexican-American communities. This tradition honors deceased loved ones with colorful altars, food offerings, and festive gatherings, blending indigenous and Spanish traditions. The introduction of this celebration has enriched the cultural landscape of the United States, fostering greater appreciation for diverse perspectives on death and remembrance. I chose this change because it showcases how a cultural practice can promote understanding and inclusivity, reflecting the melting pot nature of American society.
