External Culture

Improved Essays
All of us are conceived with an inner and outer culture. By and by, culture is a general public, religion, dressing, dialect, and race. Outside culture, is the surface, for example, attire, dialect, music, ethnicity, and even religion. Inward culture is the shallow inside, for instance, feelings, values, ethics, correspondence, and even deep sense of being. A person’s outer personality does not recognize their identity or their social character. Our inner culture somewhat does. However, people tend to judge people based on their appearance or culture, prejudices can also impact one’s life.
To begin with, I identify as Hispanic. Hispanics tend to be uproarious, active, cheerful, and diligent employees, etc. However, people often when they

I don't act, have the same tastes like most Mexicans that I know. I don't like soccer, I don't really like banda music, I don't like going to rodeos, I don't like dressing in the traditional Mexican clothing, I don't like some of the traditional food, etc. Although, my inner culture has taught me to be the hard worker, educated, nice, generous. It has influenced me because, at home, I always speak Spanish, every day we eat Mexican food, for example, chiles rellenos, albóndigas, tacos, gordita, pozole, enchiladas, tamales, carne asada, birrias, etc. I am Catholic like most Mexicans, I believe in La Virgen de Guadalupe, every time I'm going through something I always pray to her. Overall, I love my culture.
In conclusion, everyone is born into a culture. My culture has somewhat impacted me in my everyday lifestyle, even though, I don't identify with completely due to people’s prejudices, that changed me completely. I would not change my culture for any other culture, I'm proud of being Mexican. Without my culture, I wouldn't really know who I am, or where I belong. Never be ashamed of your culture and don't try to change because someone does not like who you are. In the end, culture (surface and shallow) does play a significant role in your

    Nobody can deny the fact that culture generally mandates your views, perceptions, and ideas about the world and its qualities. However, while this may hold true, there are factors that can easily disregard and usurp culture from fully monopolizing one’s mindset. For example, Thomas Jefferson high school is a huge blend of cultural groups. There is little to no disparity, and all are seen unique, yet still the same as their peers. One’s experiences and culture both partially, whether equally or not, affect their views on the world.…

    I value everyone’s culture and try to learn from others as I incorporate it with my leadership. I know that we all value diversity in some way and especially for example would be different food cultures that we inherit. The bad part to this is that it can also lead to discrimination and how you treat others and a how others treating a person within the organization. Working for a global organization you always assume that every country works the same as our culture here in the United States and some times that is true but most of the time it is not.…

    Everyone in existence is set apart by culture. It is what helps every individual learn how to act and handle themselves, which makes everyone different. Culture is a place of acceptance and providing each individual with how and why they should act like they do. It protects and brings people, a group, together. “Culture refers to sets of learned and patterned behaviors and beliefs that a group of people view as reasonable, normal, and timeless” (MindEdge, 2.05, 2016).…

No matter how you’re portrayed in society, or treated by others, it is ultimately influenced by your roots. Whether you’re trying to flee from cultural restrictions, balance an old or new culture, or trying to fit into your main roots, it is all impacted by where your cultural roots are from.…

    My viewpoint on my own culture as well as other cultures has not changed by reading this module but perhaps it has been enhanced and become more solidified. “Culture is the knowledge, language, values, customs and material objects that are passed from person to person and from one generation to the next in a human group or society” (Kendall, 2016, p. 45). Each person and every culture brings a uniqueness to the world that would create a void if lost. American culture is wonderful, but so is the Germany culture or the Japanese culture. I am proud to be an American, happy that I speak English, and thrilled that I can follow American values and norms, which are constantly changing over time.…
