(Origin) When thinking about my family and our roots I identify my family's places or origin as Germany and Ireland. A majority of my family is of
German ancestry and the one exception is my grandmother and she is Irish. I identify these too places as where my family came from due to stories that
I have hear from family members and to the traits that each member of my family carries. A majority of my family are all blonde hair, with blue or
brown eyes which have a lot of similarities to people from Germany. My family as very few of the traits from the Irish side but the only ones the I have
been told are that some people in our family freckle a lot...show more content...
One thing that I have heard that they all agree on is that it is heredity and we are cursed by out ancestors. As I have gotten older and noticed that I
have had to deal with some of the same things that my parents have had to deal with health wise I have started to believe them and develop the same
opinions and beliefs of why. One treatment that my family uses is when you have a sore throat and it does not matter on your age, they give you a
hot tottie that is tea, lemon, whiskey, and a drop of honey. Every time growing up when I had a sore throat this is what my mom would give me and
my brothers and it would help tremendously. Another thing that I remember is something that would be used for sunburns during the summer and my
grandmother would mix fresh aloe with a damp oatmeal and smear it on the area that was burned until it dried. She always said that it would help to
take the burn out and to keep our skin from becoming dry and peeling. I think that each of these is cultural in nature and something that has been passed
down from each generation to our family (L. Adams/S. Richie Personal communication October 2010).
(Discrimination) When it comes to discrimination I have heard several stories of how members of my family where discriminated against for
employment during World War Two. The one I remember most is a story that my grandfather told me
3. Personal Narrative: My Personal Cultural Identity
Cyd's Cultural Identity Many people writing this essay are going to talk about their religion or what race they are. But this is my personal cultural
identity essay. I don't have a religion that I talk about or a race that I care about. My cultural identity is about sports, family and everything that makes
me, me. My family has a history of sports. I play a variety...Basketball, volleyball , and the most important to me is fastpitch. My Dad played basketball
and baseball. My Mom played volleyball and fastpitch. I have a very athletic family. Papa Dan (my Dad's, Dad) coached and played baseball. He
coached all six of his kids in baseball, basketball, football or any sports they played. My mom is just athletic. I don't really know where she got it from
but she was on a traveling fastpitch team and played for her school. Now my sister and I are in love with the game and both of my parents are always
on our side helping us be the best we can be....show more content...
I like to listen to all different types of music, but my favorite is country, rock and an oder band called the Beatles. My mom and dad have listened
to all genres of music since I was little and I've been listening to them every since. My mom listens to the Beatles and rock mostly. She has a first
edition Beatles record that is never not playing in my house. My family and I don't like new rock that people listen to, these day's. Instead we love
to listen to what I call old school rock like offspring, nickelback, and Metallica. My dad on the other hand, he loves country! He started to listen to
country when he was young. He has 6 siblings and they all listen to country still to this day. Music has such a big impact to my life because I listen to
it everyday and my family and I are always singing to every song we hear or that is on are

4. My Personal Experience of Culture
That was it. I decided that I was no longer willing to live in a society filled with immoralities and with people that are mainly determined to follow
a standard pattern throughout their lives. The past years influenced me in seeing the world through different eyes. The fact that I saw numerous
individuals actively involved in receiving social acceptance virtually made me sick. The reason why I was sick was that I knew that most of these
people had dreams, an unique personality, and everything it took in order for them to be successful from their own point of view, not from the
social order's perspective. Society has historically had the tendency to influence people in putting across certain behaviors. Some of these behaviors
are moral in character and people are expected to take them on for their personal wellbeing and for society's wellbeing as a whole. Even with these,
other behaviors can be damaging for one's personal identity, considering that the respective person no longer has the ability to distinguish between
ideas that are his or hers and ideas that have been induced as a result of the environment that they live in. It all started when I realized that my dreams
were not actually my dreams. Surely, this might sound confusing, but read on and you are going to get a better understanding of what I am talking
about. So"ĐÂŚI discovered that my objectives had been instilled in me throughout my childhood by my parents, by my teachers, and by society as a

5. Personal Culture And My Family Culture Essay
While looking upon my personal culture and my family's culture in an attempt to find appropriate dishes for this assignment, it became apparent to me
that I have no definite culture. Whereas I have lived in Canada my whole life, my family's background has engaged me in varying cultures, though I
have never felt truly attuned to one culture. On the other hand, my father is a first generation Canadian, his parents both from Scotland. Though aware
of my Scottish origins and my grandparents' migration to Canada, Scottish culture has never been explicitly celebrated amongst those in my family.
Furthermore, my family previously migrated from Ireland during the Irish famine, resulting in Irish culture to also represented in my family's culture.
Variously, my mother's side of the family has lived in Canada for many generations, but I do not consider myself as being authentically Canadian.
Accordingly, throughout my childhood, I was never encouraged to celebrate an explicit culture. Furthermore, religion was never prominent in my
life either, as my parents decided against baptizing any of my siblings and me, as per the family tradition, because they wished for us to have
religious freedom. However, because of the rest of my family's religion, as well as my background, my family has always celebrated Christian
holidays, though I have never been to church for a reason other than a wedding. I find that without any cultural ties from my family's history and
practices, that the culture I

6. A Personal Cultural Analysis
While culture, in a general sense, can be defined as the collective arts and customs of a population, it is also important to consider the broader
collective aesthetic of said community. Being such, it is necessary to understand culture before interacting or entering a society as this allows one to
better understand tradition and the attitudes towards various aspects, such religion and customs. When I look at my own culture, there are various
aspects that shape my daily interactions with society at large and how I approach a situation. As a white male of a higher socioeconomic standing, I am
afforded some level of impunity and status within my contemporaries, this due to the history of America and the culture that has been developed. Being

An admittedly glaring feature of my person that I left out when previously defining my cultural niche is my homosexuality. While there are many who
would like to say sexuality does not define someone, it inevitably does. As such, I have had my fair share of both positive and negative experiences
from both within the community and from those outside it. I feel that if I were to take into consideration the aspects that define my culture, and
myself, I would come to a conclusion that I exist within a fairly safeguarded and sheltered place where I can watch the goings on of the American
culture as a whole. By going abroad, I hope to strip myself of this armor of sorts that I have been carrying with me my whole life. I hope to be thrust
into a position where I am forced to face a new culture that I am unexpended with and I can broaden my own culture and brake down some of the
walls that have been constructed by my own American

7. My Personal Culture
What have you discovered about your own personal culture?
While making my collage I discovered what is most important to me and how I would describe my own personal culture. I discovered that my
family is what is most important to me. My family taught me most of my learned values and behaviours. Everyday my family influences how I
handle certain situations, because I always ask myself what they would do or what I know would make them proud. Whenever I have free time I
love to spend time with my family, one of my favourite things to do is take my two nephews on different adventures. When I am spending time with
my family I feel my happiest and most like myself. I also discovered what the real meaning of personal culture is during this assignment. Not everyone's
personal culture is the same, and many people have more than one culture. Your personal culture is what defines you and it is "shared patterns of
learned values and behaviours that are transmitted over time and that distinguish the members of one group from another" (Potter, Perry, Stockert &
Hall, 2014). Fully understanding the definition of personal culture also helped me understand my own personal culture better.
What were you most comforted by? I was most comforted by discovering my own personal culture and being proud of everything it entails. I found
comfort in knowing that my family is what matters the most to me, and that a lot of my own values and behaviours are passed on from them, since I

8. Personal Narrative: My Personal Culture
Whether in general or personal, culture is based on the values, core beliefs or customs that hold a people group together (Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart,
2012, p. 147). Though not always foreign, some cultures even involve rituals adhered to for many centuries. For instance, the Jewish males celebrate
becoming a man through a bar mitzvah. A personal culture is more intimate to an individual. My personal culture is centered around or influenced by
my faith, my family and my occupation. Growing up in a conservatively Christian home centered on love with service and worship. Those values
developed further into integrity and humility. Subsequently, I did not stray too far from the narrow path and those ideals are continuing in my own
home. Much like other occupations, law enforcement...show more content...
Mining plays a key role in the economy of China and has a type of subâculture all to itself (XIA LING, DUAN HONG, & WANG, 2016). Chinese
miners are very proud of their occupation which passes from one generation to the next. While individualistic in nature with the nation's economy, the
culture began to shift to a more collective, humanistic one as the effects of pollution set in. The study stated, "Chinese mining enterprises are not only
the producer of wealth but also the destroyer of the natural resources." Management began to see these affects and began intrinsically changing the
mining subâculture. References Solomon, M., Marshall, G., & Stuart, E. (2012). Brand you: Marketing real people, real choices. (7th ed.). Upper

Though my siblings taught me a lot in regards to hierarchy, they also taught me about loyalty and trust. Whenever our parents were "on us" we always
could bond together and present a united front. Having this support system gave me confidence and security when dealing with others in social
situations. Being born in a rural Tennessee town has contributed to my cultural programming as well. The atmosphere of this town was one of extended
family, security and safety. This was especially so as a child. People were open and caring, communities felt a responsibility to other families in
their community and everyone "looked out" for one another. After becoming an adult and moving north to Maryland, it was such a stark contrast
to the environment in which I grew up. People were very private, families were made up of only blood relatives, and it was unheard of to show
signs of family discord. Having experienced both regions, it only made me appreciate the environment in which I was raised, and was able to raise
my children. Being female in this region has also contributed in my cultural makeup. Southern men, or the majority of them, hold a deep respect for
women and the place they hold in society. In the early sixties, women were mainly homemakers and mothers, but that stigma has slowly deteriorated
and now being female has rarely held me back from achieving any professional position I desired. I have been employed
11. Cultural Background Paper This paper is written as a presentation of my own cultural background and identity. What I hope to reveal, is where I
come from, how I became who I am today, and how my culture helped to develop me into that person. My background has never really seemed
interesting or particularly pertinent to who I am, until I began this course (HSC570); now, I actually am acutely aware of how important it is to my
present life. It is with excitement and expectancy that I write this paper; based upon my memory of tales told to me by those that I consider to have
been our family historians. Sadly, they have all crossed over from life to eternity. The Beginning I was born on a Monday morning in late May, 1960,

I later found that this wasn't the case. Everyone was poor, but, we were poorer than all but two or three other families. Everyone knew everyone,
and the 'village' worked as one unit in the rearing and nurturing of all the children. At times we lived with other relatives, and at times, other relatives
lived with us. I remember my older siblings being around, living with us or within the community, also during this time. In our community, women
worked, as did the men; but, the men were treated like kings (husband or not); they came home and put their feet up, ate first, came and went as they
pleased and always seemed to be threatening to whip the children and the women. The women always seemed to be trying to keep their men happy,
even if it meant sharing him with the woman up the street. They just pretended that they didn't know. I was only privy to this knowledge because I

12. Personal Culture And National Culture
Part B In this paper I will begin by defining personal culture and national culture. After, I will then elaborate my own personal and national culture. I
will continue to talk about the subject with the person that I have chosen for my cultural group, my mother, and I will identify her personal and national
culture. Lastly, I will talk about my own personality and how it has a connection with my own natural culture; knowing this is important, it lets us
know who we are, and how we act with people who are from different cultures. Personal culture, is a share combination of an individual's traits, skills,
and personality. It is formed within the context of their ethnic, racial, familial, and educational environments. Everyone's personal culture is unique to
them (Mensah, 2015, CH3 PPT, Slide 3). I agree with the statement that everyone's personal culture is unique to them because everyone comes from a
different culture, and they are always bound to do something unique that is different to others. Ever since I can remember, my family and I have
always celebrated the common holidays that occur throughout the year such as; New Year's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day,
Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. My family and I have a strong bond, and when holidays come up we always get
together and spend time to celebrate the holiday. This is how I grew up, and we never done anything different, and being raised with that in my

Culture by definition is the identity or feeling of belonging to a group. It is part of a person's selfâconception and selfâperception and is related to
nationality, ethnicity, religion, social class, generation, locality or any type of social group that has its own distinct culture. To me that definition

important thing to me would be how people view me as a person and friend by this I mean my personality and how I treat them because the way I

14. My Personal Culture Essay
My personal culture is influenced by many things, especially by how life treated my parents affected how life treated me. Sometimes life wrecks
your expectations so that it can bring you something greater. My parents faced many obstacles in their life and all they ever wanted was to
prevent them from happening to me. In my personal culture I'm affected by seven criteria: conflict, income, gender, age, disabilities, location and
sexual orientation. These effects made me who I am today. When people hear refugee camp, they usually think about a place where people go to
escape bad situations. I know refugee camp sounds way better than living in a dangerous place but staying at a refugee camp was really hard for
my parents. My parents didn't get to go to school because they couldn't afford it and they didn't have a home. My parents had to work in the rice
field every single day so that they could feed themselves. After working a long day, they had to sleep on dirt. In 2000, my parents got help from the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to resettle in the United States; I was only nine months old at the time. Because of the
obstacles that my parents faced, my education comes first before anything. Now, and my family, we live in a beautiful house. One day, I want to help
people back in my country. My family went from being poor to being a middle class family. Growing up from a middle class family, I get almost

15. Reflection Of My Personal Culture
Each person has their own beliefs or customs depending on what kind of environment they developed in. Those beliefs or customs then shape a
person's mentality and how they interact with the world. Many different characteristics have really shaped me to become who I am today. My personal
culture has shaped my own thinking and perception of the world considering that I grew up in a small town, my family's careers, and having divorced
parents.
In the conservative small town of Mont Belvieu, Texas with a whopping 5,500 population, there is little room for outside opinions. It is just another
southern town that revolves around football and church on Sundays. The suburb I grew up in refused to accept the developing characteristics of the

Being a first responder means interacting with different cultures and being required to respect and understand those diversities. When responding to a
scene an individual's race or gender doesn't matter; the only thing that matters to first responders is saving a person's life. Due to their experiences, I
was taught at an early age to treat everyone equally. I learned that not everyone is the same but to treat them with respect even if I am different from
them.
Growing up with divorced parents provided me with an opportunity to gain independence I would have not otherwise learned if I had not been
impacted by my parent's divorce. A household with married parents compared to a household with divorced parents is very contrasting. My
parents divorced when I was very young. I lived with my mom and would visit my dad on the weekends. My mom was a stay at home mom so when
my parents divorced she was jobless. We struggled a lot and I gained a lot of responsibilities because she was a single mom with no income other than
child support. I did most of the cleaning and laundry, and woke myself up and got ready for school all by myself. I gained selfâdetermination and
independence being exposed to this lifestyle. I realized the importance of going to school to get an education to be able to get a good job for myself.

Growing up fourthâgeneration Southern Californian my nuclear family help shape my values and behavior. My parents taught me there were
consequences in life for my actions, rather it was right or wrong. For example, I came home drunk from a party on a Friday night while I was in high
school. So, my father didn't punish me that night. However, Saturday morning he woke me up and made sure I attended the threeâhour basketball
practice at school. I learned my lesson not to get drunk. Also, my parents assigned chores around the house to teach me the value of good work ethics.
Furthermore, they instilled in me freedom of choice to pursue sports, play a musical instrument, or anything else that interested me. Also, allowed me

17. Personal Cultural Aspects
My personal cultural is affected by the 7 aspects of myself. These 7 aspects has made me who I am and how I view the world based on my cultural
responsibilities. The first personal aspect is my gender. Being a male in my culture I am responsible to do the heavy work like setting up table and
chairs for everyone.I am also responsible to help kill the pig and prep the meat for the females to cook. I am also responsible to go forward the elders
and bow to them showing my respect towards them. As a male I am to greet all the elders and help them with what they need. Being a male I get
more opportunities on working jobs. I am also expected to be strong, I have to look tough and be able to take control because I am a male. The second
personal aspect is my age. Since i am almost gonna be an young adult I am to have a drink with the elders if they bring a drink to me. I am to sit with
the elders and talk with them keeping them company. Since i'm going to be a young adult soon I will be able to drive and move out to do my own
things. I will also be responsible to pay for my own food, my own bills, and to be responsible to go to work. Being my age now I will soon have to do
things on my own and cannot rely on people reminding me of my responsibilities. The third aspect of my personal life is my location. My location

18. Personal Culture And World View
It is a big undertaking to attempt to explain one's culture and world view in a few words. My culture and world view began within the house I was
raised. I come from a white, middle class family, with a household of 5. My mom and dad both worked very hard to maintain a "middleâclass" living
status for their family, and made many sacrifice. Values that were stressed in my household were loyalty, work ethic, family bonds, and character.
Religion did not play a big part in my household growing up, and lack of religion, or "selfâreliance" was stressed more. Both of my parents worked,
however gender roles were pretty obvious in my house. My mother not only worked, but also took care of many of the household chores, while my
father handled lawn work, mechanical tasks, etc. The biggest world view that sticks out for me that I learned growing up is that if you work hard
enough, you can achieve anything. However, you have to work for it â there are no handâouts. In writing this, I can think back to many times where
racial, or racist, statements were made in my house. It can be hard to talk about, and I cannot provide justification for many of the comments. Our
home was about 10 blocks from public housing. I can recall driving past, and many times, my dad pointing out the fact that "those people" didn't have
to work for anything. He would often say, "look, we are paying for their houses with our tax money, and they drive better cars and wear better clothes
then we do." This had a

19. My culture and I
Perhaps the most influential factors which has shaped me into the person Iam today is my culture, and the upbringing of my family. Since my birth,
these factors have strongly influenced my values, norms, and characteristics. I'm raised in a Hispanic household, as most traditional Hispanic
families, my upbringing is strongly family orientated. I was born in small town in Ecuador, and when I was 5 years old, I experienced culture shock
when I moved to America. I was young and didn't understand much, I felt lost and uncertain with the new culture and environment surrounding me.
For a couple of years in grammar school I felt unsettled and iffy on the ''unknown'' culture I was revealed too. This resulted to selective mutism in
grammar school with teachers. I would also struggle doing my homework during grammar school because no one in my household knew English.
Gradually, with the help of my family and my recognition of my capabilities I was able to adapt to my surroundings and overcome my challenges. I've
always had a strong motivation to have a better future, and I knew furthering my education will help me. The personal gain from education is
something that no one can ever take away from you. My parents would always motivate me to work harder and put all my dedication in school. My
education will always come first because no one else is going to give me what education gives you â knowledge and strength in society. My home
country, Ecuador, is an alluring

The concept of globalization, which is the increasing integration and interdependence of different countries from one another in terms of economic,
communication, and technological aspects, leads one to address the concept of cultural diversity or multiculturalism. Cultural diversity in the
healthâcare system touches lives of many Americans in one way or another. No matter what our own cultural background is, when we go receive
medical care, we may encounter a care giver who comes from a different cultural background than ours(Naylor 1997,291).. In the concept of cultural

In this sense, personal cultural diversity can be seen through the influences of personal experiences that have been acquired and accumulated by the
individual through his or her lifetime. Another factor to consider is the individual's religious background or influences, as this would determine the
values and practice of morality of the individual. This would also define one's behavior and personality in comparison to other individuals. In addition,
the religious influence of an individual, along with his or her personal experiences determines his or her judgments and prejudices regarding a certain
issue. Another important factor is one's socialâeconomic class background, which refers to one's income levels and lifestyle backgrounds. One's level
of income and lifestyle entitles one to develop different views and perceptions regarding different issues or topics. To sum up the points, it can be
perceived that in order to understand the concept of personal cultural diversity, the different aspects of one's lifestyle must be examined and determined
in order to point out individual differences in a particular group or society. This is because each individual has different genetic makeâup,

In the past, things were primarily about skin color, and issues regarding people of a particular skin color were handled by such, and not ethnicity.Black
people were black people, whites were whites, and so on. The point is that by distinguishing myself from a general role, I am able to have my own
identity, and I can make choices for my best interest, and not for the majority.
In spite of their differences, both African and AfricanâAmerican culture have been able to connect in certain ways in recent years, as well as other
cultures. Technology, specifically social media has allowed my generation to connect with one another even with our cultural differences. There is a

whomever we want. Social media is breaking down hierarchical, regional, age and cultural boundaries" (IABC). Things have changed socially, through
digital means, and it's a big part of what makes me and my generation unique. Today, people in the United States can interact and communicate with
