Culture

What is culture anyways?
I feel like our culture is fueled by our traditions. In every culture there are different traditions and beliefs.

Now, every culture is different and within a culture there are many different subcultures. You can generalize a culture by race, religion, and place of living. However, within those very broad cultures there will be more cultures. Then inside those cultures there are more and inside those there are more and so on.

Now, thinking about family culture, what is your family culture and where did it come from? Do you have traditions from your parents? Your grandparents? your spouses parents? that means you are a mesh of a whole bunch of different cultures. However, the beauty of having your own family is that you get to decide what your culture will be like. You can decide to uphold certain traditions and not others. You get to decide your culture that you will pass on to other generations and that is amazing. The way you decide to run your home and incorporate your culture into your family life will greatly influence how that culture continues for quite a few generations.

Be proud of your culture. Be proud of your traditions. And be the person you want to be.
