Culture Chap 2.

Culture is what define us by the way we dress, talk, eat, talk, think and feel. Now days societies around the world share different cultures because of the immigration. Most of us can say that know somebody from a different culture.
Some times we experience what its called a "culture shock". this happens because when we are unfamiliar with a certain culture. For example: when I heard that people in Korea likes to eat dogs and cats, that was very shocking, because in my culture that would never happen, its just wrong for us.
The elements of culture are Symbols. We use symbols to recognize something particular like, traffic signs, graffiti on a wall, a flag, and most common now days the symbols that we use to write messages on our cellphones.
language its another important element, values and beliefs, norms, technology, are also elements in the culture of a society. This chapter teach us how to understand the different cultures in our world and to learn how to live all together within our differences, tolerating and sharing our good ways of life.
