Answer 1

I deal with this all the time - exchange students!

To put it simply, culture is what you learn from your family, friends, school and parents. That's what makes an American different from a Chinese for example. You learn your religion, your values, your likes and your dislikes.

Here is a longer definition on the topic:

So think about what you've learned and who you are -- that will help you pick your items.

Answer 2

It depends on what you consider your culture.  Do you identify with your race?  Your social status?  Your family?  Your country?  Your region?  Your s*x?  Your religion?

For example, a family-oriented Catholic girl from Texas might symbolize her culture with a picture of her family, her grandmother's rosary, a Texas or United States flag, and maybe something from her racial or ethnic background, whatever it may be.
