How Family Affects The Family Of Culture

Families, as units, are extremely complex and vary drastically from one another. A person might be under the impression that his or her own family is nothing special, especially if they are accustomed to their family’s routines. After analyzing my own family through the sociological lenses of an assortment of scholars, it is now clear that it is not as simple as it seems. Sociologically analyzing my family through the divorces that have occurred in my life makes it clear that divorce can have an impact on a variety of family dynamics, such as my parents and their jobs and domestic duties, the amount of involvement they have with their friends and family, as well as my financial dependence on my parents.

Most families share similar issue. Regardless of race, wealth, or even religion, all families, at some point, hardships or even joys to share. In Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” a family is force to face issues caused by poverty, misunderstandings, and separations. Momma, Maggie, and Dee all seems to appreciate their heritage, but the problem is that they do not view the same way. This lack of understanding is universal. In “Everyday Use” the family shares similarities and differences with my family concerning the disrespect, sibling relationships, and hard working parents.

To the outside world, I appear to belong to the Traditional White Nuclear Family culture, but my family included co-cultures and subcultures that were rare in the suburban south.

What does your family want from you in terms of traditions that you are expected to uphold on account of your ethnic background?

Everyone sees others in the world in different ways, why? Culture has a significant impact on how individuals view the world and others. The three stories Indian Fathers Plea, Two Kinds, and By Any Other Name, prove culture has the largest impact. Some may argue that experience has a considerable impact, but overall culture is still more prominent.

In the texts “Legal Alien”, “Two Ways to Belong in America”, and “Every Day Use” a person’s culture is shown to affect the way they view others and the world until they have social interactions with a different culture. In “Two Ways to Belong in America,” a personal essay by Baharti Mukherjee, there are two Indian sisters, Baharti and Mira, their culture guides their choices before the come to America. Once they intermingle with American culture the choices they make become their own. “Like well-raised sisters we never said what was really on our minds…” (Mukherjee 90).

For example, Alice Walker in the short story “Everyday Use” shows how culture influences how people views others. According to Dee (Wangero), “‘Maggie can’t appreciate these quilts!’ she said. “She’d probably be backwards enough to put them to everyday use.’” (Walker p.82). In this part of the story!, it shows how the character Dee feels about her sister and their grandmother’s quilts. It was as if she felt they were prized possessions rather than something that should be used as an everyday item. She always had the idea that she’s better than her family, and she was caught up in presenting her culture rather than living it. She judged her sister and mother for not being like her and thinking like her. The way Dee views her family is similar to they way many feel about anyone who’s different than

Pow, boom, bop, bam, kaboosh! Fourth of July, Independence day, fireworks, an interesting and important part of American culture. The fourth of July would be just another day in the year if the Declaration of Independence wasn’t created, but this document was created and it has changed our view of the fourth of July for over two-hundred years. This information is a fact, another instance of actuality is that one’s culture has an immense impact on the way people view the world. Further, one’s view on the world is determined by many pieces of culture but I will mostly focus on traditions and education.

Imagine a ripe, fresh, and juicy apple in the hand of a healthy, happy, well-fed child. Now imagine this same apple in the hand of a battered, hungry, and dingy child. How do you believe these two children view this one simple fruit? Both of these children will view this apple differently, just like how culture influences how people see the world differently.

instance, we would not have electronics, since there would probably be no internet out in the desert. I would not be able to play the piano or violin, since both are hard to keep in the desert. Even though my brother and I would not have homework, we would not have a strong education. Living in a tent instead of an air conditioned house would mean it would be harder to keep cool in the hot sun. I would not have many friends, since only archaeologists are allowed on the digs. Working all day would mean less family bonding. Being out in the desert means it would be hard to cook the delicious food I am used to eating. Even though I could find cool artifacts and travel

Family traditions and cultural legacies contribute to an individual’s self-identity since it is the fabric of where they came from, who they are, and where they’re heading. How do family traditions and cultural legacies contribute to and/or inhibit an individual’s self-identity?

Before referring to the impact of culture on families, I will say that culture is known as knowledge, art, beliefs, law, morals, customs and all habits and skills acquired by man not only in the family but also to be part of a society as a member that is. It is also defined as a set of ideas, behaviors, symbols and social practices learned from generation to generation through life in society. The family is defined as a group of people linked by blood, marriage, or adoption; usually centered on a married couple, their dependents, and relatives. Although there have also been non-traditional families made up of people who are not linked by blood or marriage and are now found more frequently in many regions of the world.

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
