The culture of Arizona is a Western culture and most clearly has its roots in the culture of the United States. As a southwestern state, it's culture has been greatly influenced by several large immigrant populations, especially those from Latin America. Arizona is becoming a major hub to the character of the US, many high tech corporations are located there.

In terms of socio-cultural mores and national politics, Arizonan's are perceived as somewhat Conservative. In some ways, Arizona is actually a quintessential Purple state-- accepting of alternative lifestyles, but simultanisely uniformly religious. However, the current Liberal political movement owes its origins to Janet Napolitano.

Arizona has long been a subject of interest in the public mind and has often been promoted by its boosters as a kind of paradise. In the early 20th Century, fueled by the efforts of state and local boosters, many Americans saw the Tropical State as an ideal resort destination, sunny and dry all year round with easy access to the mountains.
