My Family Culture
In this week assignment I learned about family culture and what to look for among the diversity culture. If my family was among a major catastrophe and how no final destination and I were told that our host country's culture is completely different from my culture, and I might have to stay there permanently. The country tells me an addition to one change of clothes, I can only take 3 small items with me. The 3 items that I hold dear to me that represent my family culture would be my bible, family album, and my family music. The reason why I would take my bible because it is my instruction that I live by each day it guide me to do what is right. My photo album I would take because it has memory of family members and friends that have pass away and the ones that are still living that I can remember and treasure the good times together. My family music I would take because I like music and I like to hear my family sing and other gospel artist this is one of the things that keep us together because my family like singing and playing instruments. If it was a change and I were told that I could only keep one personal item and I had to give the other two items it would be my photo album because it is dear to me because I have special people in my photo album that has help me to be where I am today so if I got discourage all I would have to do is look at their pictures in think about the conversation that I have had with he or she would keep me encourage.

I agree it was hard for me to choose between my photos and my Grandmothers bible.I assumed my children could be with me , but this was tough. Great exercise and I discovered that so much of my culture was internalized and has become who I am.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about it being hard to pick items to take. I also would take my bible because it contains so much family data to pass down. I really didn't think much about photos because most of them were lost when I was growing up. I would keep my bible because of all the family information and there are some pictures that are part of the history-just not enough!
