World Cultures!

The definition for culture is: The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought. my definition fro culture is short and sweet. A way of living. everyone has their own way of living and it is because of their background. what ever culture you find yourself in, the the unique way of living each day!

World culture has always interested me. There are numerous cultures around the world and no matter how close cultures can be, one little aspect makes it different. I would love to go around the world to live in the shoes of someone of a culture, to see how they live, eat sleep. I will need to add that on my bucket list!

Maybe I don’t need it travel around the world. Living here in the United States you see different cultures every day. From Arab to Chinese. Even though those are nationalities I think of them as cultures to because it’s a way of living, and you follow rules every day. Arab culture has a certain religion they look up to. Marrying young and big families is what I think of when I think of Arab culture. When I think of Chinese cultures I think of china families only allows only on daughter. Is that still true? there are so many other kinds of cultures. some are from pure religion. the Amish and Gypsy’s is another culture which is very interesting but very different!

Not only do I think nationalities are culture so can royalty. I look at culture of a way of living. Royalty is a way of living. Wouldn’t that be cool to live as a princess of a queen for a day ladies? Being respected at the highest level in that country. I don’t know if I would like it for everyday life but I bet they are used to it. This is what I mean! Living in peoples shoes for a couple of days to see what it’s like! We would learn so many things about them in such a short time. Or what about homelessness. I would consider homelessness as a culture because you can be born into it and maybe even become one in the culture. My sociology has actually lived homeless for a period of months to know what it is like to live as someone who was homeless! She didn’t talk about it much, but she said she lived homeless and look at how they interacted, and lived. meaning she ate food off the street, out of garbage cans and dumpsters  no one knew she was pretending to be homeless besides the food pantry ladies and police. she also said she would shower, change her clothes of anything! HOW COOL!!

 

One thought on “World Cultures!

  1. I totally agree with You. Culture can helps us to
    1. To expand your knowledge of other things that go on in the world besides whats going on in America.
    2. To keep you from being an ignorant person and sounding stupid when you meet someone from another culture.
    3. Its interesting
    4. To help you realize that your culture is not superior, but just another simple addition to all world cultures.
    5. To learn what real values, and traditions are, cause you sure aren’t getting any by watching american TV.
    6. gain Knowledge which leads to wisdom.
    7. They actually have something to offer.
