How culture affects our lives?

People from different countries have different cultures and it affects their lives. Culture exists in each person. They can be influenced by others’ cultures, but they still have an original culture. In my case, I come from Asia and belong to a particular nationality that has influenced my life since I came to Australia.

First of all, the big difference between Asian families and Western families was shown clearly in the way they spend their holiday. Most of the Asian people want to spend their holiday or weekend at home with a small party, while many Western people go to camping with their children. Secondly, the own background affects strongly to their social relationships and work relationships. That happens when you have a job in foreign countries, work with foreigners, or choose a friend. They do not want to find a partner who has different culture and it is hard to understand together. The last thing is the impaction of media exposure of Western countries creates a considerable change in developing countries. In fact, Western technical media grow before Asia over 10 years, so studying and researching about it can improve the Asia media exposure. That is the reason why most of Asian wants to study overseas. In contrary, Asia and Western media exposure create richness in media.

To sum up, in order to expand your knowledge about another culture, we should research about it.
