Cultural Influences

Identify and examine ways your culture impacts our cognition, language, development, gender, motivations, behaviors, identity, morality, relationships, personality, health, physical development and mental well-being. My culture will be “Armenian” please don’t plagiarise try to put it in your own words so it looks like I wrote it. This is a discussion question it doesn’t need to be long.

The purpose is not to provide a comprehensive description of cultural influences for each of these areas, but rather provide an in-depth look at one facet and/or example of each of these areas. For example, for cognition, you can focus on biological understanding or perceptions of time or understanding of directions. Because you will only be choosing one example/aspect of each area, aim to provide sufficient detail for each area. For example, your description should go beyond the basic description, “Japanese view more objects, both living and non-living, as alive than people from Western cultures do.” and should include a more detailed description of the phenomenon, how the phenomenon compares to other cultures, and a theory about how culture has shaped this phenomenon. This last point is very important: You should aim to describe cultural forces, whether it be economic, religious, linguistic, geographic, or something else, that have influenced the development of this cultural perspective. Please let me know if you are having trouble with any of these points, and I will try my best to guide you in the right direction.

To get the total points, you need to include:

1.) A definition of culture supported by a peer-reviewed source.

2.) Description of how your culture has influenced your development. Be specific about the developmental domain your culture has influenced (see first line of instructions for examples).

3.) Describe cultural forces, whether it be economic, religious, linguistic, geographic, or something else, that have influenced the development of this cultural perspective
