Culture shapes our values.Our values are the things that we believe are important in life. They guide our decisions and our actions. For example, in some cultures, the value of family is very strong. This means that people in these cultures are likely to put a lot of emphasis on their relationships with their family members. In other cultures, the value of independence is more important. This means that people in these cultures are more likely to value their own personal freedom and autonomy.
Culture shapes our beliefs.Our beliefs are our understandings of the world around us. They influence how we interpret events and how we make decisions. For example, in some cultures, people believe that the supernatural is a powerful force that can influence events in the world. This belief may lead people to engage in rituals or practices that they believe will protect them from harm or bring them good fortune. In other cultures, people may not believe in the supernatural at all. This belief may lead them to take a more scientific or rational approach to understanding the world.
Culture shapes our norms.Our norms are the rules that govern our behavior in society. They tell us what is considered acceptable and unacceptable behavior. For example, in some cultures, it is considered rude to make eye contact with someone you don't know. In other cultures, eye contact is seen as a sign of respect. Our norms also tell us how we should interact with each other in different social settings. For example, in some cultures, it is considered polite to shake hands when you meet someone new. In other cultures, it is considered more polite to bow or kiss the other person's cheek.
These are just a few of the ways in which culture influences human behavior. Culture is a complex and dynamic force that shapes our lives in many ways. By understanding the role of culture, we can better understand ourselves and the world around us.
In addition to the points I have already made, I would like to add that culture can also influence human behavior through the following mechanisms:
