Band 7.5

Many people believe that a person's culture is defined by their country of origin, while others believe that it has minor influence. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

#people #person #culture #country #origin #influence
At present, most
people
 believe the culture has influenced by the place
one
's born. Whereas some others think birthplace has a mere influence. Many countries that follow strong customs have some space in their minds for other cultures too. In
this
 essay, both points will be discussed and at the end, the writer will give his opinion on the topic. On the
one
 hand, there are uncountable cultures live among us. Some
people
 do not believe in those customs, but many
people
 strictly follow their beliefs.
For example
, in India majority of the farm work get done by cows and buffaloes. As
such
, Hindus consider the cow as a god because cows provide most of the products for their survival. As gratitude for cows, Hindus do not eat beef even though they live in western countries.
On the other hand
, we live in a small world, where you can travel from
one
 end to the other in hours. Due to
this
 fact, many nationalities live in different countries, and they embark on other's cultural beliefs as their own. As
such
, Christmas is mainly a Christian's celebration. But many nonchristian believers
also
 decorate their houses with Christmas trees and lights as respect. To conclude, even though both the points of view have many backing up reasons. I do believe that the country of
one
's born will not strongly impact on their cultural beliefs.
This
 is due to the impact of globalization because it has broadened the knowledge of
people
 towards other societies.
