Essay about Cultural Autobiography
Running Head: MY CULTURAL
My Cultural Autobiography
Nancy Domanski
Sir Frances Bacon said, "If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of the world, and his heart is no island cut off from
other islands, but a continent that joins them," (Jenkins, 1994). This quote represents all the core values that I cherish and to which I adhere.
Personal culture doesn't have to be linked to a certain country of origin or a specific ethnicity; it can be as simple as a person's core values. The

I think it is because of how different the food is and how many choices are available. I am proud that I have continued this tradition with my

pretty progressive for her time. She never seemed to be restrained by the typical female roles of most women of her time. She somehow
managed to remain true to her southern traditions while blending them into a progressive way of thinking. I think I am the same, in that I am
trying to teach my daughter respect for others, especially her elders, while making sure her own thoughts are valued as well. My brother, Mike,
recently reminded me of another very strong southern value that I too feel passionate about when he said, "Don't ask me for a handout, but I am
always willing to give you a hand up." By this is meant, southerners are always willing to help someone better themselves or their situation. If
they are hungry, feed them and show them how to feed themselves. If they need a job, teach them the skills needed to find a job–not give them
money. To us, throwing money at a situation is not helping. It is demeaning to the receiver and it will most likely encourage the problem. More
simply put, if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he will feed himself forever.
