culture




How we define culture is may not always be the same. the book defines it as "a group of people who live together in a specific territory and share a culture". In my opinion i would define it as a group of people who not only live in the same area but all over the world share the same beliefs as well as the same behaviors. Reading chapter 3 was pretty interesting and i also learn a lot that i didn't know. This reading talks about how a culture is a collection of a lot more things other than one specific thing. We can see knowledge, values, languages and even material objects can be a big part of a culture.  Also reading the article "Body Ritual Among the Nacirema," was also interesting, it was most surprise and shock to see how they treat their women, but as we can say not all culture are the same, we all believe and treat each other differently. In today society most culture are different but then again there are still those that stand out from the rest, that’s why we should respect these cultures and also learn about them because it a good thing to learn new things that doesn't have to do with our life style.
