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

Cultural values are passing from generation to generation in societies.

. With globalization, the world is becoming smaller.
As a result
,
people
are experiencing different products, ideas from worldwide. Due to
this
reason, some individuals have forgotten the original cultural values of their
country
.
For example
, in Sri Lanka, there are western marriages.
However
,
this
can be seen only in a few places in the
country
, while in many other places,
people
give priority to the traditional way of celebrating marriages.
Therefore
, even though globalization could somewhat change
people
's beliefs, many
people
still stick with their original cultural activities. Regarding the definitions of
culture
, it depends on the native
country
. A good case in point is,
although
many Indians live in the USA, they have not adapted to the western
culture
, and they still respect their original cultural values.
Likewise
, in other countries,
people
behave the same way when they live in a foreign
country
, and they do not lose their national identity.
This
can be a reason for substantial parental influence because

also
need the same way of life their children follow. In conclusion, while a few
people
have changed their thoughts, attitudes against their native

people
are unwilling to change their original cultural

Therefore
