solojaro at 17-12-2010 12:06 PM (14 years ago) (m) Culture is something that a person learns from his family and surroundings, and is not ingrained in him from birth. Every society has a different culture, where people share a specific language, traditions, behaviors, perceptions and beliefs. Culture gives them an identity which makes them unique and different from people of other cultures.
When people of different cultures migrate and settle in another society, the culture of that society becomes the dominant culture and those of the immigrants form the subculture of the community. Usually, people who settle in other nations imbibe the new culture, while at the same time strive to preserve their own. Why is it that many people are loosing their marriage because of CULTURE?
Well, it is easier to drop your culture for a foreign one if you are a kid/teenager............ but if you are a full grown man/woman, you find yourself holding on tightly to your culture even though you are in another man's land.........I take myself for example, I grew up away from my home town, so it is easy for me to imbibe the culture of the owners of the land.......but in my own case, I was choosy, I took up some and I dropped some........that way am able to fit in in my tribe's culture and in adopted culture........ Having said the underlined, i think it is easy to see why marriages are destroyed becos of different cultures!......... That is correct. Posted: at 17-12-2010 12:06 PM (14 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

i dont think so but u know people have different cultures it depends on the persons culture and if dis culture was a bad one a devilish one i mean for me i think when a marriage is not working out atall u should go to GOD in prayer but its sad dat not everybone knows GOD alternatively they should live separately and still have d relationship of husband and wife till they think they can live 2gether again but not divorce its really not good Posted: at 17-12-2010 01:03 PM (14 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |
