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.

There are conflicting views regarding whether the original history of a

nation

can determine an individual's

culture

greatly.

This

Linking Words

essay will analyse the argument from both sides before deducting my personal opinion. On the one hand,

people

who believe a national

origin

can influence a person's

culture

Use synonyms

considerably would provide the following reason. Generally speaking, the

origin

Use synonyms

of a

country

Use synonyms

more or less represents a

nation

Use synonyms

's religious concepts which are part of the reasons why groups of

people

Use synonyms

get together and establish an independent

country

Use synonyms

. While it is not unusual that

such

beliefs in religion regulate its national inhabitants, about their lifestyles the rules needed to be followed.

For example

, many Muslim

countries

Use synonyms

like Iran believe their

countries

are created by god and

people

Use synonyms

living in these

countries

should follow certain instructions and dictations,

such

as headscarves on women's heads, to show their respect and faithfulness to their god.

In other words

Linking Words

, the way that a

country

was formed will influence

this

nation

Use synonyms

's policies or even laws,

thus

deciding the certain range of cultural lifestyles of national inhabitants.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, opponents to

this

Linking Words

way of thinking have their own opinion, which they can

also

Linking Words

easily justify. Since we are now living in a world of globalisation, we cannot deny that most parts of the world are muti-cultural nowadays.

This

Linking Words

would lead to the fact that

people

Use synonyms

in these places are often exposed to different cultures via forms like music, movies or dressing and in turn are easily influenced by those. Nowadays, most Chinese,

for instance

, are wearing T-shirts and listening to pop music which are cultural products from western

countries

Use synonyms

, while only a few still stick to wearing Chinese-style dresses or suits as well as traditional Chinese music.

As a result

Linking Words

, the

origin

Use synonyms

of their own

countries

Use synonyms

seems unappealing and irrelevant to them in terms of cultural influences. In conclusion, I believe that the impact of a

country

Use synonyms

's

origin

Use synonyms

on one's

culture

Use synonyms

depends on the level of globalisation in

this

Linking Words

country

Use synonyms

. If a

nation

Use synonyms

is not affected by cultural invasion and still sticks to its own

culture

Use synonyms

,

then

Linking Words

the influences on individuals would be great. Whereas if a

country

Use synonyms

is a highly cultural mosaic,

then

people

Use synonyms

's choice in cultural belief is unlikely to be affected by the history of its

country

.
