Cultural Identity Do you celebrate any holidays almost the same way each year? In my case, I celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas day the same way once a year. It is a time that I get to see and spend time with many members of my family that I do not usually get to see any other time of the year. I really enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas day for this reason. It is my favorite time of the year and to top it off, in my opinion, waking up to snow covering the ground on Christmas is the best…

There were several prison camps located in North Vietnam, but they all shared the same basic characteristics as the Hanoi Hilton. Prisoners were isolated from each other to the greatest extent possible. The individual cells consisted of small concrete areas with a wooden bunk bed and a bucket to be used as a toilet. There was also typically a window although it was heavily barred with the amount of light protruding inside being minimal. The cell doors were heavy wood and contained a peep hole…

I think culture is one of the more important aspects of society, if not the most important. Conley, in chapter three, redefined my views on culture and how regulated it is in everyones lives. Conley also writes about the media’s influence in our everyday world and how inclined we are, as a country, to live up to their expectations. “Culture is the sum of the social categories and concepts we recognize in addition to our beliefs, behaviors (except instinctual ones), and practices” (Conley).…
