Culture Case

The people of the San culture were very independent people; they had little huts as their homes and ate bugs as their meals sometimes if not all the time. In the San culture, the women would go out and harvest fruits and vegetable that they were able to grow in such a dry area, while the men went out and hunted game for meat, they would use arrows and spears, with the tips dipped in a poison produced by beetles. Their culture is very different from mine in many different ways. First, in my culture we live in house, some way bigger than needed. We also do not eat bugs, in my culture bugs are considered disgusting and killed. In the culture of the San people they do everything themselves, they grow and harvest their own fruits and vegetables and they hunt for their own meat. Whereas in my culture today we go to the grocery store to get our food. One similarity however is my family does have a garden and we do harvest our own vegetables, but sometimes it is not enough and then we go to a grocery store to get whatever else we need. Therefore, the San culture and my own culture may have a similarity, but many more differences.

Cultural elements needed for the survival of my culture are slim. Besides the necessities of food, water, and shelter, my culture does not need very much. We have a house, food, and water so it is very easy to do the things we need to do, for instance in my family every Sunday is a day to worship. We have the necessities to keep us healthy and strong, therefore, we are able to go to church every Sunday and worship. To my family this is something that we are supposed to do. Yes, it is a choice, but we believe that it is also a responsibility. Modernization and globalization has had an impact on my family's culture. From a religious standpoint, it had made it easy to get to and from church, but it has also made hardships on the children in my family. Everyone in my family has grown up in a church, however when the younger children get to school and such some of the other kids become mean and make fun of each other for what they believe in. In my opinion, and probably in others opinions as well, this is very wrong, and is the effect of globalization.
