How My Own Culture And Identity Influence My Interactions With Others?

Culture influences our way of life and our identity is who we are as unique individuals. That is to say a connection between the two is evident; culture is the foundation of identity. As we mature into adulthood, our life experiences evolve to form our true self.

Cultural identity are the things that make up who you are. My cultural identity is Cajun. Being Cajun is very unique. We eat different types of food, listen to certain types of music, and have certain traditions. I come from a very special family where everyone has each other’s back. They are very protective of each other and loving. There are a lot of distinct selections that show who I am but there are only a few major ones.

When I think of the word “cultural identity”, I think of myself, and what makes up who I am as a person. My cultural identity influences everything about me, from the moment I wake up, to the minute I rest my head on my pillow at night. My culture influences the way I eat, speak, worship, and interact with people. However, I am not only affected by my own culture, but others’ culture as well. I am fortunate to have an extremely rich heritage, and I couldn’t be prouder of my cultural identity.

The idea of cultural identity is your feeling of belonging to a cultural group, the things that separate you from your culture and the things that bring you together with your culture. Even though members of a culture share some beliefs they aren’t exactly the same, this is the concept of cultural identity. These things that separate you from your culture, forge you into a dynamic and productive member of the same culture. My cultural identity represents who I am, if I am a productive member of society or not. It represents how I talk, what religion I am and what things I like to do. My cultural identity is represented by food, generation, nationality, ethnicity, and religion.

Culture is something that can be defined in many different ways, including your values, beliefs, family, friends and even the music you listen to. All these aspects buildup to define who you are as a person. The way you grew up, who raised you, your goals, thoughts and ideas all contribute to who we are. My cultural identity is shaped by what is closest to me, my friends, family and music.

What is Cultural Identity? Most people do not know what cultural Identity is. If they say they do, they will tell you that it is what ever you make of it or they will try to say it is whatever ethnic group or religious group you say you belong to. Cultural Identity is the beliefs you were raised to believe in and a group of other people believing the same thing. According to one source Cultural Identity is,“This system of understanding includes values, beliefs, notions about acceptable and unacceptable behavior, and other socially constructed ideas” (Trumbull and Pacheco 4).

For me, cultural identity is simply the things an individual does. But what really creates the foundation of one's culture is broken up into three parts: interests, family and beliefs. Personally, my cultural identity contains a ton of Latino and just a pinch of American. I am Mexican -American.

Culture and identity are inextricably linked concepts. Identity is formed by your culture and in turn your identity shapes the respective cultures of the groups you identify with. I belong to many different cultural groups, and my identity is a complex web of competing and conflicting beliefs, experiences, and characteristics. My identity is not only complex, but also dynamic, as the experiences I have change who I am.

Have you ever wondered how someone describes their background and personality. Well everyone has a culture and everyone describes it differently. No culture is the same. Culture is a person's heritage or lifestyle. It’s how a person goes day by day living happy. Culture is what you do on a daily basis also it tells people how you define yourself. Culture is basically the human definition. My cultural identity reflects my lifestyle ish… and is how i portray myself to others.

Finding my culture identity has been a confusing process on if I have one and if I do what is it? Culture to me is the way you live your life and the reason you are living that way.The way my family and I have been doing certain things and how it has impacted us as people.

Cultural identity is defined as a sense of feeling or belonging to one group, or even multiple groups. Different people define themselves differently from the person sitting next to them. I, on the other hand, think that my cultural identity is abstract. I think that this is because I enjoy a variety of different activities including swimming competitively, singing in a choir, sometimes going to school, and reading whenever I get the chance. Sometimes it is hard to find time to read because of my busy schedule, but I make it happen. A lot of people have one specific way to identify themselves and have other smaller ways to define themselves within their larger definition.

When I think about my cultural identity, I compare my own identity to others. While my religion is Christianity, others religions may be different. They may be Buddhist, or Muslim, or even Atheist. All these religions, and so many more, tie into different people’s cultures. Other things such as traditions, types of foods, and even the music we listen to, affect who we are. Our own cultures are the way we chose to live our lives. Whether it be the way we treat others or the way we think, they all have enormous impacts in the way we live.

Cultural identity refers to the feeling belonging to a certain culture that is attributed to the upbringing of an individual in the given culture. Cultural identity gives a person the sense of belonging and belonging towards their culture. Modern cultural studies show that cultural identification has taken a new face. Various cultural identifiers can be used to identify the culture of an individual. These identifiers include nationality, language, location, gender, religious beliefs, history, and ethnicity. Culture is important in shaping the identity of an individual. The efforts of people trying to preserve their cultural identities can bring about hatred and division in the society. This is likely to happen especially in large cities

Cultural identity is defined as the sense or feeling of belonging to a group. I connect my cultural identity to my immediate family. My immediate family consists of my parents, two younger sisters, and myself. Each one of us has significant values that have been instilled in one another. I believe that they play a large role in making me who I am today. Coming from a large, Sicilian family, the importance of love, loyalty, and support has always been prominent.

Cultural identity is the basis in which identification is used to express different aspects pertaining to identity and heritage. A person's cultural identity may be created by social organization, as well as traditions and customs within their lives. The two aspects that construct my cultural identity are the frequent chores I must complete every day in order to fulfill my behavioral expectations, and the youth group I attend weekly. These aspects are important to my family and me. Therefore, my identity has an immeasurable effect on my upbringing into this multi-cultural world I live in.
