 THE AMERICAS
|
| The Americas (sometimes
referred to as America) is the area including the land mass located
between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, generally divided
into North
America and South America. The term usually includes the Caribbean,
the islands in and around the Caribbean Sea & Greenland
though not Iceland, for cultural & historical reasons. The isthmus
of Central America is usually considered geographically part of North
America. The Americas are often described collectively as the Western
Hemisphere or the New World. Most references consider
that there are two continents, North America and South America. However
the use of America to refer to the New World as a whole is also used in
English, such as in the common phrase “Christopher
Columbus discovered America”. Some consider that America be considered
as one continent. The single-continent concept
also appears thematically; for example, the five rings of the Olympic
flag represent the habitable continents; only one of the five
represents all of the Americas. |

| AMERICAN PEOPLE |
|
|
People who live in the Americas
are sometimes referred to as being American,
although the word ‘American’ is used much more commonly, and, indeed,
nearly
exclusively in English,
to refer to a citizen
of the United
States of America. The Spanish
language uses norteamericano (‘North American’) or estadounidense
(literally
‘United Statesian’) when referring to U.S. citizens, and the French
language which sometimes accepts états-unien
(états-unienne
for women). In Portuguese,
people born in United States of America are termed norteamericano or
estadounidense.
