                                                              My Culture                  
  1. Folkways- This is the type of food that my culture eat on certain holidays like New Years, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. Most of the times we would eat this just on a regular night for dinner.

2. Culture Lag- Tweeter has become a new creation to our world. This wasn't intended for anything or had no purpose on being part of the Internet by anyone. Tweeter was created by someone who thought it would be easier to follow up on people and their thoughts.

3. Mores- Long Island Ice Tea is one of my favorite alcohol beverages. When I have those long days or I might be a little stressed out about something I turn to this for comfort. That is the positive side to this. The negative side is if someone or I get caught on the street drinking this, you can get into trouble by the police. Or even if you try to purchase this in a liquor store and you're under 21 years old you, the cashier, and the store owner can get into serious trouble.

  4. Culture Shock- I do this with my family before we eat dinner at the kitchen table. If someone were to right away dig in they food, without waiting for someone to say a prayer so we can all prey together, me and my family would look at you like you're crazy.

  5. Beliefs- I'm a Jehovah's Witnesses, and theirs certain rules and regulations that we have to follow. Life for example, we have to wait to have sex before we get married.

6. Society- Normally in the summertime, my cousins and I would sit in the park in our neighborhood and enjoy the beautiful weather outside. Sometimes in the neighborhood park we would through cookouts. We would have a lot of food and there be music playing so loud that everybody in the different buildings could hear it. We always have fun.

7. Norms- When my brother or I got got disrespectful towards my parents, they would yell and sometimes hit us so hard that we would know never to disrespect them again.

8. Behaviors- My family and I have the tendency to yell when we're drinking, trying to make a point, or is very upset about something or somebody.

9. Knowledge- The Civil Rights Movement is the reason why I get to sit in a classroom with different people from different racial backgrounds.

10.Value- About almost 60 years ago women had to be housewives for their families. Now women are partners of Law Firms or own different types of companies.
