Topic: What is My Culture?

Answer the following questions to complete this problem:

There are many definitions for culture. Culture is what we do, what we wear and what we eat. But it's also what we value and what we believe. These values and beliefs impact what we think of ourselves and how we interact and treat others. In your own words, define your own culture. Share an experience that exemplifies what you love most about your culture.

Beliefs are the assumptions that we choose to make about the world in which we live; they are part of our culture. These may be associated with our group membership (e.g., religion). What are some assumptions or beliefs you have about the world (i.e., what are 5 basic rules you believe all people should follow)?

As a result of assumptions and beliefs, we think and behave in various ways. Our behaviors affect not only our own outcomes in life, but those around us-particularly those groups in which we belong to (e.g., family, workplace). What is one belief you highly value that is less prominently valued by the members of a group(s) you belong to? How to do interact with people who do not value this belief as highly as you do?

Culture is learned. As people continually learn and grow throughout their life, they also change the culture. Provide an example of how your culture has changed in your lifetime. What parts of your culture do you hope will change in the future? What parts of your culture do you hope will remain the same over time? Why?

There are several methods in which culture is learned. Share an experience that exemplifies one method of how your culture can be taught to others.
