Personal Narrative: My Cultural Identity

The way I see it humans are just biotic machines where people from the first SECOND we are born to expect us to be used to be in their likeness or their standard of code. Luckily, due to a creation of identity and personality, people often never reach that likeness and become different. Cultural identity impacts us for our interests can make a person grow and gain traits. My cultural identity is made up by many factors, Mx-Bones and my mom impacted my life and guided me to be an artist and an aspiring scientist of some sort that is not confirmative and very curious.

Many people writing this essay are going to talk about their religion or what race they are. But this is my personal cultural identity essay. I don't have a religion that I talk about or a race that I care about. My cultural identity is about sports, family and everything that makes me, me.

I come from a small rural farm where I was born and raised all my life and where I grew up with two loving parents and one sister. Ever since I was a young girl, religion has always been a big part of my life because I was born and raised Catholic. My mothers’ side of the family is German Catholic decent and my fathers’ race is German and Cherokee Indian. Even though they are mainly German combined I have always found it interesting that I have Native American blood running through my veins. It is obvious that my parents are both Caucasian and were middle class individuals when I was growing up. I would now classify my parents to be in the higher class because they are worth more now then twenty-five years ago. Even though my parents have more money now than what they did when growing up on the farm, a strong work ethic was important to my parents. I am thankful they instilled this within me because I have always worked hard for everything in my life and I know that this will payoff for me one day. My parents also told me that education will get me further in life and it has. I am the first of my family to graduate from college let alone getting my masters as well. So when looking

In conclusion, cultural identity is very complex. It can be food, looks, and even traditions and holidays that help describe a person. Whether it be physical feature stereotypes or the

Hook------. There are over seven billion people in the world, and each of them have their own cultural identity. In order for one to understand my cultural identity, one must first understand what happens when Texan blood meets a Louisiana address. Through religion, band, and my future goals, I have my own unique culture.

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.

A person’s cultural identity is the makeup of their entire life. It encompasses their family, history, racial/ethnic background, religion/spirituality, and environmental factors. It is important for social workers today to be fully aware of their cultural identity in order to serve their clients to the best of their abilities. Being conscious of these factors help a person realize their own biases and therefore, work through them.

Most people define someone’s culture by what they see on the outside, however what’s on the outside doesn’t always define who you are. When you hear the word culture you might think of someone’s ethnicity as a main factor. While most ethnic groups might have similar traditions among their people, individually, the people are very different. My cultural identity is like an iceberg, you may see a little bit, but there is still a lot to be discovered.

Each individual person is not identical. We each have our own unique differences which makes us who we are. We each have our own cultural identity which is shaped by our experiences and history. I am one hundred percent Japanese, but ethnicity is not the only thing that defines my cultural identity. I am teenager who plays basketball, loves technology, and plays video games. I do not celebrate any Japanese traditions or holidays, do not speak Japanese, and have never visited Japan. When I tell people I am Japanese, they want to know all about my Japanese traditions. I feel a little embarrassed of the fact that I cannot answer their question, but at the same time a little bothered that they assume I know all about Japan. Is it my responsibility

The cultural background that I have come from is a rural agricultural farm. Farming is an industry that is not very easy and through working on my family farm I have come in contact with many struggles and hardships. I have also had hardships through the loss of loved ones. Having to deal with many of these trials in my life has helped me to become a stronger woman. I have also been able to show more dedication, hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm towards my leadership roles and the interactions that I have with others within my involvement of my job, clubs, and volunteer work.

Who has a cultural identity? Only people who lead big lives or do crazy things have things that are interesting to them, right? As it turns out, this is not true at all. Everyone has a cultural identity, and it is made of many things that might fly over our heads and seem normal to us, but completely foreign to others. Only recently have I started to delve into my identity and really started to appreciate how different I am to others, my specialties and experiences and even how I view basic life and others around me. There are thousands of factors that contribute into making you into you and me into me, and as you could go on for a very long time venturing into them, I only needed to reflect on a few to find out

Cultural identity is the identity or feeling of belonging to a group. The thing is I am still confused on finding my own. I personally think that my family and my hobbies makes up my cultural identity. I really enjoy listening to music and skateboarding. Everyone is not same as others and unique in their own ways, we all something that makes up who we are. For example, I have many interesting things about me that makes me who I am today. Skateboarding is one thing what makes me the person I am, it makes me keep pushing forward towards success and to just have fun. I will slowly figure out my cultural identity by slowly understanding what makes up my culture. My family likes to eat stir fried, but I really enjoy eating any types of food such as Mexican, Italian, American, and other types. I trying out new food, it helps me find out what tastes I do and do not like. My family’s religion is Buddhism and our belief is Buddha. I as myself don’t really pay attention to that. My identity as being different is that I don’t really believe in anything.

Cultural Identity varies from person to person. Everyone has something unique about themselves that separates them from every other human being on earth. For some people it’s their ethnic background that divides them from the group, others could be clothing or their religion. I have several aspects that define my culture and demonstrates what makes me, me. My most dominant cultural aspects are travel, physical characteristics, education/career, and music.

Whether in general or personal, culture is based on the values, core beliefs or customs that hold a people group together (Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2012, p. 147). Though not always foreign, some cultures even involve rituals adhered to for many centuries. For instance, the Jewish males celebrate becoming a man through a bar mitzvah. A personal culture is more intimate to an individual. My personal culture is centered around or influenced by my faith, my family and my occupation.
