Our culture, the United States of America, is probably the
most cosmopolitan culture in the world. Generation after generation, our
country receives immigrants from an immense variety of places in the world.
These immigrants have adapted to the “American way,” and have contributed to
our mixed culture. The kids of these immigrants have grown up in a blended
environment, where the American culture and the culture of their parents fuse shaping unique personalities in these children.
New York,
the world’s capital city, has acquired its nickname because of the many people
from different countries and backgrounds that live in the city. One of the
most representative places in New York is Times Square also called Crossroads
of the World. Every day, a diverse population walks on the Times Square streets
without looking around and realizing that they live in one of the most beautiful
cities of the world, a city whose arms and heart are open to anybody. Times Square screams our secret to anybody
that happens to be listening. The success of our culture in the modern society
lays on the fact that for years we have tolerated hundreds of cultures, and we
have built our own using American hands as well as the hands of those we have
tolerated. When we do not tolerate, when we do not forgive, we are not
successful, we are just... powerful.

Hey Rudy: if you happen to read this one, I believe that even though Times Square does not physically resemble the Louvre pyramid, the are similar in the fact that they good representations of the cultures where they are located. They both tell the secrets of their cities.
