Influencing Your Values, Beliefs, Attitudes & Cultural Identity
Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2015 9:35 pm
my 1st question is
Write down at least three significant events in your family background or history that have influenced your values, beliefs and attitudes.
this is my answer
Manners -- are they old fashioned? Do they hold a high or low value in your life?
Pride—are there things you need to be proud of
Family life. What do you value about family life?
My 2nd question is
Record and explain how at least three aspects of your environment have influenced your cultural identity.
This is my answer
Aspects of environment, coming from a dysfunctional family, moved around throughout my childhood so did not have a sense of who I was or a sense of belonging. My husband has been the biggest influence in my life teaching me trust and life skills. An alcoholic father who also abused his wife and also abused his 4 daughters, however my mother tried to instil into me and my sisters that we always use our manners, be polite when talking to other people and to respect your elders. I don’t remember a lot about my identity before or after the age of 15 as I looked after both parents until they both passed from cancer. My mum was 42 and my dad was 55
Am I on the right track with this one or am I going in the wrong direction
Can someone let me know
Thank you in advance
