Ethnic or cultural background has shaped your personal identity invarious ways. This is what will influence most of the ways that youuse in handling matters as it forms the foundation of yourpersonality traits.
Answer . Our cultural identity is derived from our sense of belonging to a particular cultural or ethnic group.
Cultural Identity is a person's background and also how youcan refer to a person. A person's culture is usually where they arefrom, what language they speak, and their religion. Usually you eatfood according to your culture, and your traditions are accordingto your religion. For example, I am a Mus…lim so therefore Icelebrate Eid. A person's identity is their age, gender, ethnicity and job, etc.The way you are brought up can affect your identity quite a lot.For example, if you are brought up within a bad family, peoplemight have a bad impression about you although you might be a goodperson and vice versa. It is important to have an identity becauseif you don't, you could be socially excluded and left out. I am aPakistani and most of my mates are Asians. I therefore belong to agroup in society and I have a sense of belonging. (MORE)
It depends a lot on your culture. If you live somewhere where everyone has different beliefs, or no beliefs at all, and your interactions are based on other things, then there is probably a minimum of "religious identity" built into your cultural one. An example might be a suburban US city, where pe…ople live close to one another based on the price of houses, the length of commute, the local industry, etc.. In some parts of the world, religious identity and cultural identity are so interwoven that it is very difficult to separate them out. Take the Muslim states as an example. Their daily lives are circumscribed by religious doctrine; their schooling, their clothing, even what they eat and how they play are strongly influenced by the constraints their religion places on their lives. For most westerners, this kind of control and way of life is foreign, but for them it is so entrenched that it is seldom questioned.. For many westerners, me included, religious identity is a strong part of cultural and family identity, though that might not be immediately evident if we met. I follow a set of rules regarding health and behavior that is outlined by my religion, and it also impacts the movies I see and the books I read, because I choose not to see or read certain types of things. Why? Because it is hard for me to have all that ugliness in my head when I am working hard to be a person of truth and beauty. Sounds corny, but I know there are a lot of people who live in the "real" world but have tight-knit social, family, and church connections that help to define who they are. They are of many religions, so it's not just mine, either.. I think that even people who profess to have no "religion" as such are defined in many ways by what they do and don't believe, and that impacts their behavior.. If you believe in a "hereafter", you may be trying to be good so you can go to the good place, in addition to knowing that treating people well is a good thing to do. If you don't, you may still follow the same social rules, not because you believe that God wants you to, but because you want to. There are certainly a lot of people who profess a religious viewpoint yet do things which are harmful to others, so it's not a line between the religioius and the non-religious. It's really a line between those who choose to do good and those who don't (MORE)
A society's cultural identity is defined by the beliefs, practices,morals, and culture of a people. Also adding to the culturalidentity is how the culture as a whole relates to the subculturesof which it is inevitably composed.

Cultural Identity is basically a group with whom you associate yourself. This can be based on where you live, genetic commonalities, or differeces, history, nationality, language, idiology, values, business, education, even aethetics. The divisions between cultures can be very fine in some parts of …the world, especially places such as the US or Canada where the population is ethnically diverse and social unity is based primarily on common social values more than other more obvious factors such as race or sexuality.

Haitians primarily are the descendants of enslaved Africans andmulattoes. Haiti ended slavery in 1804 with the second successfulcolonial revolution in the New World after the 13 English coloniesgained theirs. However unlike the US, Haiti was forced to payreparations (150 million francs; $22 billion …today) to France aftershe beat the Great Napoleon's unbeatable army (I know you didn'tlearn that in school). Since Haiti was a free black country Europeplaced an embargo because it would set a bad example in othercolonies. Nonetheless, Haiti was instrumental in South America'sliberation and all of Latin America owes Haiti a great debt (I knowyou didn't learn this in school). Thus Haiti's culture is a Creoleculture, mix with French, West African and indigenous elements thatcan be seen in one of the languages they speak (called Creole, theother being standard French) based on 90% old French vocabularyaccompanied by West African lexicon and loanwords from Portuguese,Spanish and Taino languages; through their cuisine a unpretentiousand simple, but yet a bold and spicy flavor that blends Africanculinary aesthetic, paired with a very French sophistication;through its religion as 95% of Haitians are Roman Catholic with asizable part believing in voodoo to a certain degree (thatessentially synchronized an African religion with a European one);etc. Those who believe in Voodoo but don't practice Voodoo asreligion tend to be VERY religiously Christian so as to ward offwhat ever bad they ironically believe really exist in Voodoo. Thepeople were also historically called Creoles, as they are stillcalled in Louisiana but since their independence, referring toone's self as a "Creole" is seldom used as they are a sovereignnation with their own demonym being "Haitian." Colorism exist inHaiti, a legacy of the mulattoes who drank the koolaid their whiteslavemaster parents gave them. Unlike the US, in Haiti mulattoeswere freed and were not enslaved. There is a small middle easternand white population and these three groups are partly responsiblefor Haiti's current condition. Like most nations in the Africandiaspora if whites would not always intervene, Haiti would be ademocratic socialist republic. But white people know what's best sothis can never be- anywhere except Sweden- oh but yeah white peoplelive there and it doesn't have any natural resources whitecapitalist can steal. (MORE)

If you're a parent you influence your child's culture identity without even trying. This most commonly happens by raising the child surrounded by the customs and qualities of it's parents heritage. However, if the child has a different cultural heritage from one or both parents, this culture can be …introduced as well. It's usually best to do this from a young age. I'm not sure what you mean by "influence". Do the parents want their child to identify with a specific culture? It's also possible to raise a child to not identify with any culture. Being raised to adulthood in an extreme antisocial environment from a young age would severely hinder the child's ability to adopt a cultural identity later in life. Not quite sure what you're asking for, but I hope this helped. (MORE)
Tea houses are commonly scattered over Iraq, and in the afternoon it is a habit for shopkeepers to retreat into the back with a close circle of friends to sip tea over gossip, an Iraqi "siesta".. Rites of passage are mainly centered on children being schooled enough to correctly read the Quran, qui…te the challenging task. The Quran is perhaps one of the hardest texts to read, both because of depth of meaning and due to the difficult range of sounds Arabic demands from the human vocal cords. The child with least pronunciation errors is called the "hafiz" or "memorizer". There is usually a large celebration in the child's honor.. Marriages and births are enormous parts of Iraqi life. It is common to have hundreds of people attend weddings. Although there are some arranged marriages, a couple must agree before entering into it, and there are very low divorce rates in Iraq, though it is acceptable and fairly easy under Islamic doctrine.. Generosity is highly valued in Iraqi culture, and it is seen as rude to snub someone asking a favor. This is heightened especially during the month of Ramadan, when it is necessary to give zakat or donations to the poor. Many families, rich and poor alike, cook for the homeless, or even invite them to dinner. Some prepare plates of baklavah or a dish of kebob to take to them. (MORE)

A Culture is a plethora of traditions shared and passed down within a particular group of people. Religion/spiritual beliefs happen to be one of these traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. So if you're looking to find your identity within your culture, it's religion is one o…f the things you must study. Keep in mind that you are not required to adopt every tradition within a culture if you do not want to. When you decide to carve your own path you aid your culture and give it diversity.

It is everything. I have lived in Kenya for 23 years and for the African his culture is who he is. He is community. His identity is his family, tribe and family. Don't cross with any of this. Now some of this is changing in the cities but if you are in the rural areas this is still the norm.

Hm. That's a good question. I've never thought about that. Well, I think most people believe that Americans are all fat, loud, annoying people who like hamburgers and milk shakes.... Not true. And definitely not our cultural identity. Those are all stereotypes. American cultural identity... it's… more like knowing that we're a country built from immigration, and so we recognize that we're NOT really Americans, because all of our ancestors were from somewhere else. So we've got a blend of cultures, and we identify ourselves by our diversity. Oh my goodness, I am not qualified to answer this question. I have no idea how to answer. I suppose we also identify ourselves by language, like most places. The majority of America speaks English, obviously. We value knowledge and progress (or at least, most of us do), as well as friends, family, and security. Other than that, I haven't the faintest idea what to tell you. (MORE)
The Iliad was essentially an expression of collective Hellenic history. During the time it was composed, the western coast of modern-day Turkey and its surrounding islands was called Ionia at the time, in the 8th century BC. The Ionians, migrants from the mainland and other, more western islands suc…h as Crete, were by far the wealthiest Greeks of the age. However, culturally, they still considered their history fundamentally Greek, and so, likely to cement that, the Iliad was commissioned, and written, purportedly, by Homer. It will often be said that Homer was in fact not a real person, but the name given to a series of bards on Chios, but the work is so thoroughly consistent not only in word choice but in characterization that the bards in question would need to be a collection of - by far - most clever and thorough literary masterminds the world will ever see, an impossibly improbable situation; the more effective explanation, then, is that Homer was a single person who was arguably the world's best writer. Regardless, we shall call this person Homer. Homer's Iliad is traditionally thought to reflect ideals to be imitated in contemporary Greece: honor, primarily. However, though it reflects values to be embraced, there is a surprising amount of humanity and, if one should wish to read it as such, social commentary. A large amount of scholarship states that Fate was something that even Zeus could not go against - as evidenced in Book 16, that's not entirely true. Zeus had the chance to save his mortal son, Sarpedon, being killed by Patroclus, a Greek. However, the reason that he does not is not because he is physically unable to, but because none of the other gods or goddesses were allowed to save their own children, weeping though they were. Zeus's position, though he is far and away the most powerful of the gods, is that doing so would violate a sort of Social Contract among the gods, so there are absolutely some interesting themes about power. This, among numerous other possible themes, makes the Iliad an extraordinarily deep work. For epic, the characters - even the gods - are shockingly human. The Odyssey is an entirely different question, and one I do not feel qualified to fully address. It tells the tales of Odysseus's wandering, and has obvious themes of the importance of fidelity and the marvels of ingenuity. However, beyond that, another will need to pick up. (MORE)
Youth of India are facing a time of identity crisis. They are split among their status groups, income groups, and generation groups among others. They are fraught with anxiety over their conflicting image. They have a desire to uphold their Indian traditions, while similarly attempting to keep up wi…th, or advance beyond, the West. However, desires, behaviours and attitudes are so varied amongst Indian youth that it would be difficult to indicate a single direction this group might take. Haves and Have-nots New policies are cultivating growing divisions among young people, empowering some and victimising others; the division is most pronounced among consumption levels. This division between the haves and the have-nots is often ignored in discussion of India's youth, which mostly focus on India's economically prosperous adolescent generation. The have-not youths are deeply affected by the poverty, which affects their ability to organise and the content of their protest. The latter group comprises the majority of Indian youth, with the haves only numbering around 16 million. Both groups are exposed to mass media advertising, and the have-nots are subjected to unsatisfiable cravings that lead to violence, crime, and self-destructive behaviours like taking drugs. Since the two sides have differing demands and methods by which they make those demands, organising amongst a coherent youth 'whole' is difficult. Indian Youth Consumed by Desire Consumerism, or the desire to consume, is rampant among Indian youth. Indeed, the youth market (14-25 years) is the largest consumer segment in India. Indian youth currently hold a massive $2.8 billion in discretionary income . Yet the relationship between consumption and Indian youth is complex, some are prominent consumers and strongly associate consumption with their own identity, while other young people are minimal or non-consumers due to force, circumstance, or choice. Yet high rates of economic growth are a part of an Indian youth's surroundings, whether or not they partake.

There are many ways. You could write a book about this. In Wales, Welsh is now spoken and used significantly and is taught in schools. In Scotland the accent and dialect are also noticeably different (although there are variations within Scotland as within England). The countries have their own trad…itions, history, literature and food, etc. Here are some examples: Scotland : St. Andrew, Robert Burns, kilts, haggis, scones, shortbread, Hogmanay, .... Wales : St. David, welsh cakes, male voice choirs, rugby football, ... Generally there is fierce competition in sport. In Football (soccer) and Rugby, England , Scotland and Wales compete separately. Of course not everyone in Wales or Scotland aims to keep this separate identity. Most English people consider themselves British and see little distinction between England and the UK. But in Wales and Scotland they see their identities as mote important than being British. (MORE)

Culture is an integral part of every society. It is a learned pattern of behavior and ways in which a person lives his or her life. Culture is essential for the existence of a society, because it binds people together. In the explicit sense of the term, culture constitutes the music, food, arts and …literature of a society. However, these are only the products of culture followed by the society and cannot be defined as culture. Culture is something that a person learns from his family and surroundings, and is not ingrained in him from birth. It does not have any biological connection because even if a person is brought up in a culture different from that in which he was born, he imbibes the culture of the society where he grows up. It is also not a hidden fact that some people feel the need to follow the beliefs and traditions of their own culture, even though they might be not subscribing to certain ideologies within. Although every society has a specific culture, there are certain elements of culture that are universal. They are known as cultural universals, in which there are certain behavioral traits and patterns that are shared by all cultures around the world. For instance, classifying relations based on blood relations and marriage, differentiating between good and bad, having some form of art, use of jewelry, classifying people according to gender and age, etc., are common in all cultures of the world. Some people believe that humans are the only living beings who have a culture. But, there is a group of people who believe in the existence of culture even in animals. It is said that animals have certain social rules which they teach their young ones as a medium for survival. A nation's identity is made up of the way people dress, act, speak, their traditions, etc. For example, Australia is a multicultural country.

Being a Christian does not change your cultural identity, unless your cultural identity is identified by the religion that you follow - e.g. you are a Jew because you are in a Jewish culture, and an Islamic one is the same....but there are Christian (Messianic) Jews and similar with people who conve…rt from Islam. However, those of us who follow Jesus Christ as Lord come from all different backgrounds; and although we share one brother- and sister-hood through the adoption we have into the family of God - or JHWH (Yahweh/Jehovah) - we still keep our cultural identity: ie. a white British Christian is still a white British person although they are also Christian, and a black African origin Christian is still of Black African origin even though they are Christian. All that changes is our approach to our behaviour, and thinking, as we try to follow the Bible as a guide for our lives...but as Christians we all know that we are human, and all fall at the first hurdle if we tried to save ourselves by our own efforts. That is why we celebrate that it has already been done for us by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the eternal life we inherit by accepting in faith His Lordship over our lifes. (MORE)
