China’s culture is based on the respect of mankind. As mentioned earlier, China’s culture differ from that of…

Culture is rooted deep into America. American values and society can all be attributed to capitalism and to culture. Capitalism has, in its short lifetime, captivated and controlled societal interests in America. It is not merely enough to say that capitalism has not only become our only economic system, but it is something that has become so abstract and undefinable. In today’s modern society, people no longer think about capitalism or market interactions. All they think about are the goods and…

other. They are a big issue in our society. It has created an image about how a person should live according to their race, personality, and other facts. The thing is, people predefine our views about us before fully immersing ourselves within their culture. They are creating a concept of everyone based in what they see, but not in who they really are. Especially, films and television exaggerate things in order to generate excitement, but they also present a rather distorted picture of what life…

Though it may be the simplest question in the world for others, being asked where I’m from is an inquiry I’ve always found hard to answer. At least if I was asked where I was born, I could say Kathmandu, Nepal. Having grown up as an American citizen in Asia, I have never been able to answer the dreaded “where are you from?” Though many people equate a life overseas to wealth, my parents moved to Asia under idealistic obligation, not business opportunity. We lived on the stipend of a…

Being a Palestinian-American,culture has impacted my life in more ways than one. Having Arab parents, morals and manners were the main focal points of the way i was brought up. Clothes, food, music, and religion are all the things i associate with culture. I wore the hijab at age 13 and since then, it has shaped my values and beliefs. Some just see it as a piece of fabric around my head,but i see it as a reflection of all the things i was taught growing up. It is a daily reminder of my faith and…

consider myself as an American woman. However, some people seem to question my culture and I would then tell them that I am Dominican and Ecuadorean due to my parents born in each of their countries of origin. It is interesting to see that my culture has a lot of different beliefs, values, and traditions compared to the United States. For example, in both my Dominican and Ecuadorean families, parents are expected to have their son/daughter be married by the age of 21. Being an American, I would…
