Culture Always Impacts the World
culture or heritage will always impact the person views on the world, whether a person's views on the world changes depends on a person's culture. Like wangero in the story “Everyday Use,” or the native boy in a white society in “An Indian Father’s Plea”, or the chinese immigrant family in “Two Kinds.” When wangero wants to take the quilts and hang them up, instead of using them for what they are made for.

You may be sort of biased and think that “Chinese” children are all modest and proper because of the ones that you have been around and/or interacted with, although all “Chinese” children may not be like that. You may also think this because you compare those children to the children that are from your culture, and how the children that surround you everyday may not be proper and modest like the so called “Chinese”
