Question

explain why "cultures shapes us but we also shapes culture"

Answer 1

Culture is flexible. Think of it this way.  Language is a part of culture, right? Without knowing the language it is impossible to completely know the culture. We Americans have so many slang words. A person outside of the American culture would probably not know what you were saying until they spent a good amount of time living here. After living here, they pick up the language and slang. They know what you are talking about when you say that movie "sucked". They are shaped by our culture. But slang is always changing. New words are added to the dictionary every year. Who comes up with them? Us! We shape the culture.

Answer 2

My history teach explained this to my class really well, so i hope i can explain it as well.

We believe things are so because of the society we live in.    We believe things are bad because we are supposed to, like social taboos.

but we also shape our culture because, well, we do keep on with traditions that our cultures have enforced us to keep, however through time people change thus our culture changes with us.

hope that helps a little

Answer 3

We believe in the culture that we see on line but some of it is written by only one person and could be a hidden truth that will change the beliefs.
