My Family Culture

The three items I would take would be a family bible, a small painting of African dance, and a tape of a gospel program. These things each represent my culture in different ways. The Bible has information on the birth and deaths in my family beginning with my great great grandmother and ending with my kids and brothers and sisters kids. The painting was given to me as gift from my aunt and it shows African people dancing. The third thing the gospel tape represent the type of music and singing of my religion.
If I was told that I had to give up these items I would be very upset and devastated I have just lost my home and everything else that was dear to me and now I have to give up the two of the three things that represent my culture and my past and the past of my ancestors
From this discussion so far, I have discovered that diversity is a very important thing. We all have things that are a important part of our life and our culture is one of those things that shape our personality, and the way that we see that world as a whole. Every one should make an effort to learn as much about their past as possible because it will indeed shape their future in one way or the other.

  1. I completely agree when you you state "we all have things that are a important part of our life and our culture is one of those things that shape our personality, and the way that we see the world as a whole." How do you feel your past and culture has shaped your personality and future specifically?
