1. What emphasis do work, study and family life have in your country or in your culture? Which of the 3 is most important in your country or in your culture?
This is a very varied question as I live in a very culturally diverse area. I feel my culture is ever changing and developing as my family grows, taking parts from my families past and adding my personal values to pass along to my children.

As far as work goes, I believe in not falling into the traps of capitalism since the end results usually create a separation of classes among people. I do believe in hard work, but only approached with a meaningful long term
