Explain how culture influences every area of our lives.

Answers will vary by student.
Culture influences every area of our lives, from what we choose to wear in the morning to the person we decide to marry; culture is everywhere. If you stop reading for a moment and take a look around, you will notice that no matter where you are (your dorm room, the library, your favourite coffee shop), everything around you is a reflection of your culture. Even if you are sitting in the park or studying at the library, these environments are shaped by your culture. For example, many cities design park spaces in the urban core to help people feel more relaxed and comfortable, while the library is intended to be a quiet sanctuary where you can focus on your studies so that you can contribute to society after you graduate.
