 How culture explains you

You grow up, gain an identity and a

sense of belonging (or not), and you
learn how to behave through
acquiring culture.
We understand each other because we
share a culture.

 How culture fails to explain you

Culture can be manipulated through

power and agency so that it becomes
meaningless to you, or it represents
something you don’t believe in or
cannot accept as “true” or “good” for
you, or for others.
