Influence of Culture on growth of an individual

Culture defines its people because each culture is different, and the people within them act differently based on the growth of a culture. The development of a culture changes as does its people because they are what make the culture unique. In order for a culture to survive, it’s people must carry on its unique qualities and therefore children are taught the ways of the culture, and how to behave and act to be part of it. This is where the influence of culture on the growth and development of an individual take place. An individual within any culture grows to know about their culture, such as the types of food they eat, the clothing, their religion, what ever qualities that culture holds will be bestowed upon the child, teen, or adult of that culture. They will grow to adapt to what they are offered and what the culture depends on. An individual will learn about religion through either his parents, or school, or a church. He or she will then be taught what to believe in, what morals the individual should learn to respect, and how to behave to the people around him. Religion is a big aspect of culture, which will have major affects on an individual. Each culture can worship a god, many gods, or no gods depending on the cultu

The individual takes part in any religious practice to become a part of it and to be a part of the people around him. He then grows up to think for himself and question religion and the whole idea of faith, but has grown to know what religion he belongs to and to decide whether or not to follow it. Food within a culture is an influence on an individual because he will grow to know what certain tastes he will adapt to and what to hate, as well as the certain foods he will eat regarding certain religious festivals or practices. Music as well is taught to a person through what others listen to. Depending on the culture, the individuals way of thinking can be more religious than others, less religious, more into music, whatever the case may be. In conclusion, Culture does affect the growth and development of an individual in many ways whether it be food, clothing, way of thinking, or faith. People like to try new things, and food isn"tmt an exception. A community can influence someone into thinking what style or fashion he or she should be into. Everyone is taught who to worship at a young age by the family he or she is being raised. What makes food the factor in the growth of the person is their initial taste, and the adapted taste through the generations of a culture. There was a saying that went like this, " It takes a village to raise a child," which means that everyone within the community take part to make a child grow, even if they are of little significance in the child"tms life. It all depends on how the individual is brought up, like some families like to stick to tradition while others explore. Another influence of culture on the growth and development of an individual would be the community he or she grows up in.
