                        Reflection of Culture

Culture  is an important part of people's lives. I have learned that it affects your views, your values, your mood, your hopes, your loyalty, and your worries and fears. I have learned also that culture   makes people different and alike. When you live in the same country or state, you will have the same beliefs, traditions, and perspective about your beginning. While on the other hand, if you live in different country or state, you would experience culture shock as you have different culture. People became different and alike depending on the culture and tradition they have.
