American culture is rooted in the Puritan culture,when introduced by the Puritans to North America.Mainstream American values,can be traced back to colonial domination of the Puritan culture.
The mid-16th century Puritans within the Church of England to Calcutta for the banner of reformist literature that they were not satisfied with the church reform,and eliminate corruption,persecution,fled to the North American continent,and rooted in American Puritanism."They promote diligence clean living,like the New World built their city upon a hill" ①.
Puritan immigrants constitute the main body of the then North America,in northern New England is an all-Puritan."Puritanism became one of common values,to promote the idea that they are:piety,humility,serious,honest,industrious and thrifty" ②.In these values,the Puritans fear unfamiliar and dangerous environment,overcome difficulties,quickly harvested in the wild land of prosperity and abundance.Therefore,they are more convinced that their Puritanism,ambitious to expand territory,and indeed in American history is a history of continued westward expansion,the values of Puritanism also will spill into the broader allocation of land ."In the 200 years of vicissitudes changes,like a melting pot of American culture has absorbed the essence of the world's many civilizations,became a distinctive feature of the pluralistic,open cultural system.It contains almost all the world,race,ethnicity,religious,ideological and academic value,but always WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) culture of the mainstream,its core is respect for hard work of the Puritan ethic "③.Bass and other historians said:"There is no understanding of American Puritanism,it is impossible to understand American society." ④ Puritanism laid the foundation of American society,has shaped the American character,from all influence on American community.5 Puritanism lay the foundation for American democracy 下面是汉译美国文化源于清教文化,由清教徒移民时传入北美.美国主流价值观都可以追溯到殖民地时期一统天下的清教文化.
  清教徒是16世纪中叶英国国教会内以加尔文学说为旗帜的改革派,他们因为不满教会改革,要求清除腐败而遭迫害,后逃到北美大陆,并将清教思想扎根于美洲.“他们提倡勤俭清洁的生活,希望在新大陆上建造自己的山巅之城”①.
  清教徒构成了当时北美移民的主体,在新英格兰北部更是清一色的清教徒.“清教主义成为当时人们共同的价值观,他们提倡的思想主要有:虔敬,谦卑,严肃,诚实,勤勉和节俭”②.在这些价值观下,清教徒不畏陌生艰险的环境,克服种种困难,很快便在蛮荒的土地上收获了繁荣和富足.因此,他们更加坚信自己的清教主义,雄心勃勃地要扩张疆域,而美国历史也的确是一部不断向西的拓展史,清教主义的价值观念也随之拨洒到更广阔的土地上.“在两百多年的沧桑变化中,美国文化像一座大熔炉吸收了世界诸多文明的精华,成为具有鲜明特色的多元化的,开放性的文化体系.它包含了世界上几乎一切种族,民族,宗教,价值思想和学术,但又始终以WASP(White Anglo-Saxon Protestant)文化为主流,其核心是崇尚勤奋劳动的清教道德传统”③.历史学家巴斯等说:“没有对美国清教思想的了解,就不可能理解美国社会.”④清教主义奠定了美国社会的基础,塑造了美国人的性格,从各个方面影响着美国社会.5清教主义也奠定了美国民主
