What is your culture?
Please answer this question in any way that makes sense to you. This could be as broad as answering the following kinds of question:
Where does your culture come from?
How did you learn cultural practices?
Who do you share your culture with?
Have you ever experienced culture shock?
How has your culture changed over time?
How do you engage with your culture / cultural group?
But it is not limited to those questions, and you are free to be more specific.
Please use the answers you provided in weekly assignments over the course of the semester as building blocks for your answer, making sure that you are providing a logical answer: you need an introduction and a conclusion to your paper. Simply copying and pasting these answers will not earn you an A in the paper.
The target length is 3,000 words – you can go over but you have to stop somewhere.
filled out some personal info here:
Where does your culture come from? I speak Russian and English, first gen american from eastern europenan immigrant parents
How did you learn cultural practices? I learned through witnessing my familial dynamics and following their example when it came to traditions and customs.
Who do you share your culture with? I share my culture with people that are close to me in a more in depth way- teaching my boyfriend and friends certain words in Russian, sharing Russian cuisine with them through my cooking, listening to russian folk songs and dancing as well as watching certain media I grew up loving as a child. I share my cultural background briefly with strangers to make myself stand out more so they can get a quick grasp of a part of who I am but it really develops into something meaningful when I become closer and closer with that person.
Have you ever experienced culture shock? Yes, definitely . I have had the privilege to travel to many countries over the course of my life and upbringing because my late father had a great love for travel. I came across unknown territories and places that were strange and foreign but i just came to appreciate and cherish the opportunity to see how different people live and experience life.
