Personal Culture : The Foundation Of Who We Are

Your faith is reflected in everything you do. Faith is evident by your actions. You can tell a lot about a person who has faith by the words they speak, by their actions and the way they deal with situations. How they respond and act to the challenges that arise in their lives. Faith is an attitude that we must have and must be displayed through our own action. In other words being a doer of the Word of the Most High. Doing what the Most High has commanded for us to do, with no questions asked, with no opinion to those commands. With that said, we must take

Many people would agree that without faith, the world would be in chaos. The book Christian Foundation by Kathleen Fischer and Thomas Hart gives an interpretation on faith in our time. Many people would question the definition of faith. Faith is a gift, which is given by God to have trust in him and belief in him. This book is a great entry in anyone's life that has speculation on his or her own faith. The book has many ways into understanding ones own religion. It discusses the Bible, Jesus, Church, God's existence and Images of God. All of these chapters helped me get a better interpretation of what my religion entailed.

What is faith and does it really work? People rely on faith for things hoped for, but have not yet received. Faith is commonly associated with religion. Faith is embracing the unknown. Faith gives people hope and courage. People encourage others with faith. People get on bending knee and pray with faith. Faith can be someone’s first name. Faith gives help through hard times. Faith is not tangible. Faith is in people’s heart. Faith is hoping for a better world. Faith is touching someone’s heart. Faith is a promise for a better tomorrow. Faith is difficult to define, yet people rely on faith every day. According to Webster’s online dictionary faith is, “complete trust and confidence in someone or something.” Faith is trust, courage, and assurance

Faith is belief in something unknown or unseen. It is belief in something you don’t have control over. It is trust that someone or something is correct, even if you have never really experienced it. It is the assumption of something that you fully put your trust in, that it is correct and unshakeable. Faith is belief in something wholly without fail. In the case of Christianity and Jesus, it is the belief of life and forgiveness for all if only you have faith in God. A characteristic of faith that people most often don’t usually think about is the act of practicing your faith. A person might say they have faith in God and believe in Him but people often say

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

Faith is my bedrock, my passion, my belief structure. I grew up under the tutelage of a God-fearing (loving) mother who emphasized the need to “trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 English Standard Version). I never let go of my belief structure, even when I joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) straight out of high school. It is this faith and the above-mentioned Proverb that guides me throughout my professional career.

Faith is a state of mind through which goals, desires, plans and purposes are interpreted into spiritual equivalent and transferred it to infinity intelligence. Everything can be achieved if you believe in yourself.

Faith is accepting what you are taught or told without trying to prove or disprove it, rather than discovering it through experience. Those who believe in God have faith. It has not been proven that God exists; similarly, it has not been proven that humans are kind, honest, and good by nature. Young Goodman Brown is a character in "Young Goodman Brown," who leaves his known world in Salem village and travels an unknown road in a dark forest in the middle of the night, a common motif in literature better known as the Hero's journey, and is faced with obstacles. He must decide if he will carry his journey out till the end, or turn back and not learn the truth about himself and other

Faith is the belief in a person, thing, or idea without concrete evidence of its certainty. Although in some arenas, such as science, it is looked down upon, faith is ever presence in people's lives. It takes faith to belief that a chair will support one’s weight. It takes faith to belief that others will fulfill their promises and responsibilities. John Donne, Robert Fink, and Annie Dillard are three authors who use faith as a topic for one of their works.

I am a true believer in faith and prayers because my life is spent on faith. Each time I wake up or lay down, I pray and ask the Lord to watch over my kids and all my loved ones. Anytime something happens bad, the outcome is good. This is the work of God because he calls the shots of my life. He is in total control of life.

Part of having faith is that you are able to believe in God without doubt, even when others do not. Although there is skepticism and disbelief by strangers, close friends, or even your own family, this belief must be strong enough that you can follow Him without needing the approval of other people.

Faith is an exceptionally broad term. It can imply more than a few things. It could be confidence or trust in a person or thing, or belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion, or belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, fidelity, etc. There are plenty of different definitions, but what they all have in common is the idea of believing. Belief is what guides us through life, having faith is essential and brings good to our lives.

“You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.” The famous quote by Barbara Streisand is the true way of discovering one's culture. There is a diversity of things that makes up a person’s culture, especially in the Jewish culture. People often say that I do not look like what I say I am. However, looks are only half of one’s personal cultural identity and how it identifies them. When you are a Jew, many things can define a person, from religious traditions to the food we put on our table at dinner can only tell a person so much about their culture.

What is faith? Scripture tells us in Hebrews 11:1 that “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (NIV) Faith means trusting that various situations will provide results best suited to help us in some way during our life. I’m sure others may have a different opinion; however, throughout my life, that has been the most accurate description.

Culture is the totality of learned, socially transmitted customs, knowledge, material objects, and behavior. It includes ideas, values, and artifacts of groups of people (Schaefer, 2006). Understanding culture can be tricky, ever ask “why do people act the way they do?”, “what made me do that”, “what was I thinking?” Physical abilities, educational background, and social background of how I was raised are important aspects of my life. The environment in which I was raised is very important aspect of my life.
