While a lot of cultures are changing to have more similar beliefs, this does not mean we are all becoming the same culture. It simply means that we are changing as a society and developing. And it definitely does not mean that society is losing the diversity that makes it ever so special.

Both the environmental and social benefits of sharing culture can be significant: building social relationships within a community by establishing trust and reciprocity can lead to a decrease in fear, intolerance, and isolation, while increasing a sense of belonging and pro-social behaviors.

Differences between people within any given nation or culture are much greater than differences between groups. Education, social standing, religion, personality, belief structure, past experience, affection shown in the home, and a myriad of other factors will affect human behavior and culture.

Your cultural traditions can be shared through storytelling, music, song, dance, or art. You can also help bridge the gap by sharing aspects of your social influences. As you meet new people in the USand start to form connections and friendships, you may take part in their celebrations or significant life events.

A key element of cultural transmission is that it is, in part, transmitted across generations, or at the very least, between individuals. These sources of cultural information are known as socialization (or socializing) agents.

Definition. Cultural transmission is the process through which cultural elements, in the form of attitudes, values, beliefs, and behavioral scripts, are passed onto and taught to individuals and groups.

You do not roll out culture and you cannot buy it. Usually companies have a two day off site to develop their values and mission. Culture is based on a set of values that connect people and they must be able to own them as their own.

Cultural values are formed through environmental adaptations, historical factors, social and economic evolution, and contact with other groups. Individuals develop cultural perceptual patterns that determine which stimuli reach their awareness.

People’s values, beliefs and attitudes are formed and bonded over time through the influences of family, friends, society and life experiences. So, by the time you’re an adult, you can hold very definite views on just about everything with a sense of “no one is going to change my mind”.

Values are a culture’s standard for discerning what is good and just in society. Values are deeply embedded and critical for transmitting and teaching a culture’s beliefs. Beliefs are the tenets or convictions that people hold to be true. Underlying this belief is the American value that wealth is good and important.
