1. How is your life different from other cultures you know?
I come from a culture where education is highly valued and it is important to achieve a high level of academic success. In other cultures, the emphasis may be more on practical skills or vocational training.
The food I eat in my culture is quite different from what is consumed in other cultures. We have a variety of traditional dishes that are unique to our culture and not found elsewhere.
Housing styles can also differ between cultures, with some societies placing a greater emphasis on spacious homes while others may prefer more compact living spaces.
Language is also an important factor that sets cultures apart, as the way people communicate greatly influences daily life.
Traditions can also vary greatly between cultures, with some societies placing a greater emphasis on preserving historical customs and practices.
Transportation options can also vary greatly between cultures, with some relying heavily on public transit while others may prefer private vehicles or bicycles.
2. How is your life now different from your parents’ life when they were young?
My parents grew up in a time before the internet and smartphones, so the way I interact with technology on a daily basis is quite different from what they experienced.
Education has also changed since my parents were young, with a greater emphasis being placed on achieving higher levels of academic success and specialization.
The food we eat today is also different from what my parents ate growing up, with more diverse options and a greater emphasis on healthy eating.
Housing styles and availability have also changed since my parents were young, with more people living in apartments or shared living spaces.
Transportation options have also changed, with more people relying on private vehicles rather than public transit.
3. Is there any generation gap in your family? How do you deal with that?
Yes, there may be differences in values and beliefs between my parents' generation and my own. We try to have open and respectful conversations about our differing perspectives and try to find common ground. It's important to listen to each other and understand where each person is coming from.
