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.

People’s opinions differ as to whether or not the motherland’s

culture

influences a person significantly. Personally, I believe that the

culture

of our country of origin has less effect on us, rather than other things.

This

essay will discuss both sides of

this

view, and will extensively explain the reasons to support my opinion based on real life examples.

To begin

with, some people claim that the birth nation has a huge role in setting an individual’s

culture

, due to several reasons. The supporters of

this

point of view truly believe that one’s behavior starts to develop in the womb. There are even sayings related to

this

topic,

such

as: “it’s in one’s blood” or “to ingest with one’s mother’s milk”.

Consequently

, offsprings learn the

culture

, what they have experienced, even before they were born. Albeit, people travel all around the world, they will always be connected to their roots, since they developed an emotional attachment with their birth place’s

culture

.

For instance

, Alsou, a very popular singer in Russia, even though, she spent most of her life in Great Britain, she never lost her love towards Russian traditional attire. For

this

reason, many think that an individual’s birthplace plays a dramatic role in defining the

culture

. In a marked contrast, the opponents of

this

, including me, think that native location has solely a minor

influence

on behavior development. To be precise, many researches have proved that humans are capable of adapting to any conditions and traditions easily. Dostoevsky once said: “The human is

such

an animal that can adjust to anything”.

In addition

, one of the results of globalization, and the

influence

of western

culture

on local communities’ cultural exchange is rapidly increasing across the world. Many people prefer to acquire foreign traditions and forget about their owns. Due to

this

trend in society, I strongly believe that native locations have less

influence

while defining the character of the person. In conclusion,

although

some folks think that the

culture

of an individual merely depends on their birthplaces, it has been increasingly noticed that, humans are adapting to various cultures based on their conveniences and

also

due to the

influence

of globalization.
