In this paper we will discuss the cultural and social background of this island and present some interesting facts regarding the island. In addition to this we will put some interesting differences between Jamaican culture and US culture and finally provide reflections over the cultural layout and diversification of this beautiful island. People The culture of Jamaica is a rich blend of the ways deriving from both Spanish and British eras which affected lives of the people on this small island. The island remained under the British rule for more than 300 years which was marked as a horrific time for then less privileged black people. The culture is therefore most prominently drawn by its West African settlers which were put there as slaves and had faced harsh and torturous period of forced labor. The majority of its 4 million people constitutes of black Africans who made this island as their home after the inhumane slavery came to an end and humanity found its roots in this island and neighboring region. The culture of Jamaica therefore has its similarities with the remaining countries of West Indian Federation which embarked independence from British rule. The British era also brought many Chinese and Indian migrants who were shifted to this island as skilled workers under treaty from the Far East. These people although in minority also play an important role in the cultural diversity of this island. Language The official language spoken and understood on the island is English. However, Jamaican Patois or Jamaican Creole which is a blend of English / African based language is more commonly used as spoken language. This language derives many of its words from different African languages, English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese and Arawak and its pronunciation is significantly different from that of English. Architecture Jamaican architecture has a long history of fine craftsmanship in wood and metal. There are several wood furniture factories in Jamaica which were established during colonization and have emerged as excellent developers of Jamaica’s Georgian furniture which is exported to many countries. The furniture is designed on the basis of class rather than ethnicity. The architecture is a blend of African, Spanish and English influences. Spanish style balconies, arches, high ceilings, wrought iron and brick design and English style wide porches, wooden craft and patterns can be seen in the urban architecture. Designs from pre-Columbian are still common in rural areas with us
