Abstract
This essay examines how Anglo-American relations improved following the War of Independance, only to deteriorate again during the Napoleonic Wars. It contrasts British attempts to gain complete control of the sea to combat Napoleon, with U.S. attempts to break this control in order to increase her own foreign trade.

From the Paper
"Following the end of the War of Independence, relations between Britain and the United States slowly improved. Many felt that because of the shared language, religion and culture the two countries should work together, especially economically. This was especially true in Britain, where the ideas of Adam Smith were beginning to take hold, and free trade with America became an attractive idea. In the United States, Republicans still disliked the British, but the Federalists did not want to continue any rivalries and shared the British views on trade between the nations."

Abstract
The paper relates that Charles Andrews had a unique approach to deconstructing Anglo-American worlds of the 17 and the 18th centuries and the publication of "The Colonial Background of the American Revolution" came at a time when the United States was positioning itself in world affairs as a super power. The paper looks at how in 1924, he expressed his opinion of American history when he said, "A nation's attitude toward its own history is like a window into its own soul and the men and women of such a nation cannot be expected to meet the great obligations of the present if they refuse to exhibit honesty, charity, open-mindedness, and a free and growing intelligence toward the past that has made them what they are" (Andrews vii). The paper asserts that Andrews' view of the world was historically sophisticated (viii).

Abstract
This article examines how Anglo Saxon Protestant core values promote political unity and cultural homogeneity in American society. The writer discusses tensions caused by multiculturalism in the American society.

From the Paper
"United States culture and society are the product of historical and ongoing immigration characterizing the U.S. as multicultural. A democracy and pluralistic society, the U.S. is also characterized by the core values of a dominant class of white Anglo Saxon men. This class uses its significant wealth and political power to reinforce through various institutions. For centuries, political unity and cultural homogeneity were the norm in the United States. However, due to an increasing number of ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that the "melting pot" version of the early American culture overlooks the real economic and social hardships and the immense pressures of ethnic groups to "conform" to the dominant American culture. The author points out that one of the earliest and cruelest stories of assimilation in the United States centers on the African people and their descendants who were brought to the country as slaves. The Scottish-Irish immigrant group, who spoke English and did not come as slaves, faced the challenge of religious discrimination, and the Chinese found it extremely difficult to assimilate into the mainstream culture due to their language and ethnic differences. The paper relates that the most striking example of assimilation in the early 1800s was the push to integrate Native Americans into Anglo culture; Native American children, in many cases, were taken forcibly from their homes and moved to special "schools", in which they were taught the "correct" way to speak, dress, eat, and behave, according to the dominant American culture.

From the Paper
"To a great extent, the story of nineteenth century America is a story of the "others." This is because, whereas the influx of immigrants from Europe, Asia and Africa was immense in scope, the collective imagination of those Americans who viewed themselves as "real Americans" sought to bring those "others" into line with established mainstream American culture without option. Indeed, this assumption that all immigrants as well as Native Americans and African Americans must assimilate into the dominant culture was simply a given."

Abstract
This paper examines the American system of justice and discusses its overall acceptance by the American public. The paper then discusses other forms of juridical procedure beside those that have been universal for centuries in the Anglo-Saxon world. In addition, a comparison is made between the judicial system in the United States and other systems around the world, including the system in the UK.

From the Paper
"To a far greater extent than any of the Anglo-North American variants on the adversarial system - despite public perceptions to the contrary - the German juridical system is preeminently an open and public concern. Completely absent from the German system is the wheeling and dealing that is a regular part of the American system - the negotiation of plea agreements, prosecutorial decisions as to what to prosecute for, and even whether to prosecute at all. Canadians, Englishmen, and Americans frequently believe that the fact that their courts are open to the public is a sign that all are being treated equally. Under the German system, as in France, a crime is a crime. Nevertheless, Germany takes that belief one step further by removing in the decision to prosecute from the hands of any official. So long as cause exists, the case must be prosecuted."

Abstract
The paper is a literature review that focuses on the stereotypes between Latino-Americans and Anglo-Americans. It discusses how these stereotypes obstruct communication between these groups and the difficulties in the building of mutually compatible intercultural relationships. The paper also reviews articles that reflect the perspectives of Latino, Chicano, and Mexican American on the diversity of the Latino experience in the United States. Additionally, the paper concludes that most of the research available for study involves Latino/Anglo stereotypes and that further research needs to be done by scholars to specifically address how to encourage better multicultural communication and relationships between both ethnic groups.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"A major theme found in the literature is the influence of the media. Most of the authors represented indicate that stereotyped portrayal of both ethnic groups in film and on TV not only perpetuates stereotypes, but impede intercultural communication. If media is so influential in encouraging these stereotypes, then it follows that an excellent topic for intercultural communication researchers to research would be how media can be convinced to change. Understanding Stereotypes and Prejudice: As we work to live in a more peaceful, integrated and humane world, it is important that we understand how communication barriers are created. Stereotypes create misconceptions and misconceptions create unease, distance, and conflict in our society, as well as prejudice. The importance of understanding how stereotypes have influenced the miscommunication between Latinos and Anglos is crucial in finding solutions."

Abstract
This paper examines the current Anglo-American judicial system and its history while also considering some of its drawbacks. In response to these short-comings, the author suggests alternative methods of dispute resolution, such as arbitration and impartial investigation. These methods are discussed in light of their use in other legal systems around the world. The author concludes that a reform of the adversarial systems currently in use in the Anglo-North American world would be desirable because reforms might increase the availability of true justice for large segments of the population.

Possibilities and Problems Relating to the Implementation of Alternative Dispute Resolution Systems in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The justice system of the Anglo-North American world is an adversarial one. A lawyer is an advocate - he or she represents the case and the views of his or her clients. The rightness or wrongness of the arguments of the opposing side is of no concern to counsel. It is the duty of the lawyer to represent the client's case to the best of his or her ability; to make use of whatever legal arguments, statutes, precedents, etc. will advance his or her client's cause. In essence, the judicial system of the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and other nations that follow the English legal tradition, is one of a debate between two sides. It is the responsibility of the judge and jury to decide the case based on the relative merits of the arguments for each side. In contrast to the usage of many other nations, there is no independent attempt made to determine the correctness of either argument. Neither judge nor jury possesses the authority to actually investigate the claims made. As well, Anglo-North American law does not require that actionable cases strictly match the provisions of some pre-established code. Precedent is of great importance having, in the absence of positive law to the contrary, the force of law. In this sense, the law is quite malleable. Through careful research, an attorney might discover a useful prior decision that could lend weight to his or her arguments. Again, since there is no adherence to a strict code of laws, as say the Roman Law, or the Code Napoleon, it becomes possible to manipulate existing laws and precedents to suit the situation. Of course, a major difficulty of any system that relies upon the best presented argument is the danger that such an argument may not actual to be correct. Rather, it only appears to be correct. As a result, many have begun to question the utility and fairness of the adversarial system. "
