Conclusion 12
3. Thesis Statement
I am Danish, Californian, my family’s culture (our own blend of the two).
Depending upon where I am at a particular moment, any one of these comes
through, more Californian when I’m here, more Danish when I’m in Denmark
but always me wherever I am.
My ancestors were Native American, Swedish, English, Croatian, Italian,
Scottish, Irish and Welsh. I don’t consider myself influenced by these cultures
because I was not raised with the concentrated beliefs and values of them
other than what little that has passed through the generations of our
ancestors to me.
4. Food
• I eat a mix of Danish and American foods. Because I live in California, I eat
a diet that incorporates a lot of fruits and vegetables.
• I always eat with my family. We usually sit at the dining table for any meal.
Because of where we live, (20 miles from the Peninsula) we sometimes
don’t have time to go home between school and activities so we eat in the
car, at the beach or a park.
• My mom shops for food, cooks and serves most of our meals. The food is
usually served in pretty bowls or platters. We all serve ourselves.
• I have to help with setting and clearing the table. My dad does most of the
dishes.
• My parents don’t believe in using too much sugar, so I always have water
or milk with my meals.
• It is important to my parents that I have good table manners. I have to sit
properly, chew with my mouth closed, and ask to be excused before I leave
the table.

family. It is very peaceful to sit outside in the warm summer
evening with the birds chirping and us eating good food.

8. Clothing
• I dress like most American girls my age. I wear Jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts
and sneakers or sandals. This is also the fashion in Denmark. They are
influenced by the movies and TV shows that came from America. So I fit in
over there with my fashion.
• I like to wear colorful clothes and accessories.
• I like to wear jewelry. A friend has made most of the jewelry that I have. I
have also made some too.

When I went to Denmark last Summer the trend for
people my age was baggy pants, a small jeans vest
and a jumper. We bought some of these clothes in
Copenhagen. When I brought them back to California
no one else was wearing these things, so I didn’t
wear them in public very much.
Not all trends are the same between Denmark and
California.
10. Home
• I have my own room and that is where I keep all my things.
• We eat in our dining room.
• We don’t have a TV.
• We gather in the living room to read, play games, and hang out with each other.
• Education is very important to me and my parents.
• I get consequences for making bad choices but I also get consequences for making good
choices. For example I will loose privileges for making bad choices and I might get to go out
for ice cream if I make a good choice.
• I have to say “please” and “thank you”. I have to be respectful to elderly and I have to look
people in the eyes when they talk to me. I am not allowed to interrupt a conversation.
• I am expected to help out around the house. By helping out I am learning the responsibilities
of a family so I am not being paid for doing chores. Some of my chores are:
- Cleaning my room
- Help with dinner
- Setting the table and do the dishes
- Take the trash and compost out
- Do my laundry

14. Conclusion
My culture comes from what I was raised with. From the food that I eat to the
clothes that I wear. The reason that I feel half American and half Danish is
because I have lived in both of these countries, and learned and practiced the
cultures. My sponges and my lens would be orange (Danish) and blue
(American) because I have developed from both my mom and dad’s cultures
and made my own. I have two different cultures all in one.
