CHCECE001 - Influencing Your Cultural Identity

[Klara97]

Hi I do not understand the question
Identify and describe what influences your own cultural identity

[Lorina]

What is your cultural identity? Where is your family from? What is your religion? What are you beliefs and values? What are your traditions? These all form as your cultural identity..

Everyone has culture. However, while we are born into cultures we are not born with culture. Culture is something that we learn. Culture is dynamic and adapts to changing circumstances. Some aspects of culture are our identity; ethnicity, age or generation; gender; sexual orientation; education; occupation and socio-economic status; and ability/disability. Culture can also be used to describe our way of life and the values, beliefs, and attitudes that we use in everyday life. Some definitions of culture focus on art, religion, eating habits, rituals, humour, science, law, sports, ceremonies and so on. It is important to understand that there is as much variation within cultures, as between them and that individuals express their cultures in various ways depending on the circumstances.
