Cultural traits & identity

Culture serves as our personal compass in life. It's like our invisible identity card that helps us understand who we are and where we belong. It's like being part of a unique club with its own customs and traditions.

 

🎉 Real-world example: Just think about your family traditions at Christmas or any other holidays. These traditions are part of your family's unique culture.

Culture - fluid, not fixed

Culture is like a river, always flowing and changing, not a rock that stays the same forever. It's a dynamic process, adapting and evolving over time.

 

🌊 Real-world example: Once upon a time, only Japanese people knew about sushi. Now, you can find sushi everywhere from New York to Nairobi! That's culture evolving.

Cultural diffusion - sharing is caring

Cultural diffusion is like swapping stickers in the playground, but instead of stickers, we're swapping cultural traits. This swapping can happen when cultures interact through trade, intermarriage, or even warfare.

 

Real-world example: You're an American but love to play cricket because your Indian friend introduced you to it. That's cultural diffusion in action.
