Culture Good or Bad?

This week in class we discussed culture and whether there is such thing as a bad or good culture.

I thought that all cultures have their pros and cons. All cultures are very different and unique. I believe it is very important to feel involved in a culture because it helps you feel like you belong somewhere, have importance, and know who you are. I think that all cultures are right, if their beliefs and customs are not mean and cruel, I believe that they should abide with the laws of the land. I think you should try and respect the culture you are. It can be very difficult sometime to respect it, if you don’t agree with it. In America it is “culturally” acceptable to do a lot of things that everyone else is doing, but I know it is wrong. If you live in a culture that is doing wrong things I believe it is okay to leave it and not call yourself part of it.
