how do u define your culture my lil sister has that question on her homework?

Answer 1

Culture is defined in part by the place you grew up. If in the hills, you're called a hillbilly. if you lived near oaks, you're called an Oakie. if you lived in the sunny south, you are known as a red-neck. If you grew up in the cold part of Boston, you are a blue-nose. If you grow up in orchard land country, you are known as a fruiter.

Answer 2

Let's start with defining what culture is and is not. Culture is a set of ideas, values, and traditions that tie in to the location or atmosphere a person or group of people live in. Now, in our day and age people are told and reminded to make up their own culture and categorize their own values and beliefs according to what they feel is right for them, and an atmosphere is created wherein opinions come first than people and/or truth statements. Kids and students are told by their educators and peers that we all have different cultures and we should never try to change them but accomodate them into ours. Now I do agree that we should all love and respect one another, influencing eachother's kitchens, table manners, and dress with our traditions, but when it comes to truth matters such as moral and spiritual truth then by definition these should always transcend culture itself. Maybe your sister's teacher is already attempting to influence his or her student's to make them think that either culture can not be defined since there are so many and thus conclude by saying that truth can't be found or that it is relative, or that every culture is equally the same and that all religions and values are true for the person within that culture. Be careful and let your sister know that although there are cultural differences among us all that we all share the same human experiences, the same needs, and that in the end we all need the same love, peace, and last but not least the same God. So, separate dress, music styles, and ethnic dishes from truth and life issues which are always absolute and not relative to neither culture nor individual.

Answer 3

I define my culture as "Mixed". I am Pagan, lesbian, and have a christian partner (who has a child). I am an olive skinned Caucasian, but my ethnicity is broader than the Atlantic.
