To me, culture is what a family, group of people, society, etc. do because of what they were taught or what was passed down to them. It is also where your family comes from. You don’t get to choose your culture, it is passed down to you.

 I don’t really know what my culture is, all I know is that I am Canadian, obviously. We just follow a regular Canadian lifestyle. We don’t really follow any traditions, except sometimes we eat some cultural foods at my grandma’s house, so I would definitely put that in, since it’s the only thing I could. There are also a lot more whays that you can celebrate your culture: with food, clothes that you wear, things that you do in your daily life, holidays you celebrate, and more.

So here’s the big question: can culture be put into a box? Well, in my opinion, you can and you can’t. You can put something like what you wear and what you eat in a box, but you can’t put any traditions you have in it. You may thing it’s easy to do something like put your culture in a box, but it really isn’t. You have to think about what is most important to you and your family.

*smotto.
