My Family Culture

My Family Culture

            If a major catastrophe has almost completely devastated the infrastructure of my country three items I would choose to take with me to keep my family culture and well-being intact for generations would be the family album, family bible, and family recipe box. My family album is a treasure and memento to me. There are picture of my family at early ages in our life. We have school day pictures, pictures of family gathering during the holiday, and snapshots of family members. My family album can almost tell a story from the beginning. The bible is what we were raised on by my mother and grandmother. My mother can quote scriptures form the bible to make you understand her wisdom. The family recipe box holds a history of family recipes that were passed on from generation to generation. There are customs related to this recipe box that only members of the family were given access to for their family. 

            If I was told that I had to give up two of the three items I would be hurt. I would choose to keep the family album because of the keepsakes from the family.

            I have gained insights about my family culture and diversity through my pride in my families’ cultural identity, heritage, and traditions. Culture is about differences-legitimate, important differences. My family culture has shared attitude, values, goals, and practices that characterize an institution or organization.
