What are culteral norms that makes us who we are as kentuckians and americans?

Well I don't live in Kentucky so I don't know your norms but as an American I would say some norms are the language we speak a good amount of America is english also the way we eat being the types of food you would find in a grocery store or a restaurant and the slang we use and the religions we have that is a few examples.

the phenomenon that would be cited as evidence of increased economic interdependence between europe and the americas is  the development of mercantilism.

this theory suggests that the wealth of a country depends on its economic assets, or capital.

hope this : )
