like physical attributes races of people have seem to have certain social attributes as well. Such as races who overall seem more violant or domoniating, even races that appear more religious. It is possible that not all determining factors that define a culture are anything more than because of their race... I am curious about this because a question was posed to me yesterday and it made me think. I am not a racist but I have noticed that some things seem to be to prevelent within a race to be anything but.

No.

People create culture and are shaped by it, and the culture is shaped by them. That is true. However, it has nothing to do with specific sub-groupings in the Tree called Humanity. Take an infant from one culture shortly after birth, and drop him into another culture and he will absorb the new culture.

What you do with societal pressures placed upon you depend on YOU...are you going to surrender to the uber-peer pressure, or are you going to judge the situation and act appropriately? The choice is yours, based on the set of societal assumptions and your own sense of fair play.

The person you want to talk to is someone whom has studied Social Anthropology quite extensively...my studies in that field, abreviated as they were, were primarily physical and genetic.

I think it's mainly about culture and how the children are raised.
And the deep roots of their pasts. I mean there's cultures who have been through wars and atrocrities, they just learn how to deal with things differently. And most religions sort of have a common thread but just with different ways of going about it.

Yes and as soon as it is rebuilt it is going to be more potent than it used to be earlier than. The reminiscence of having via dangerous instances can be aspect of your shared historical past and carry you nearer ultimately.

I don't think race is a major factor on someone's behavior.
