DBQ: How does culture REFLECT and SHAPE society?

The film “It’s time for school 3” suggests the fact that in many cultures, it is believed that education is very important; however, in some of the cultures, there was the fixed rule that women do the housework, such as in Neeraj and Shugufa’s culture.
