1. How does that culture affect the behavior of the people?

What are your suggestions to improve and maintain it?
Culture as an influence of behavior takes the “nurture" side of the argument about
influences of behavior. culture looks at the totality of any given society's belief
system, laws, mores, practices, language and attitudinal variables which makes a
people unique from others. As you know, it is transmitted from one generation to
the other. What happened when you are groomed in the ways of a particular
culture?
You start acting and behaving in ways that are seen as appropriate to such a
culture. Your dress sense, grooming, language, belief system and attitude become
molded to fit into that society which makes you become accepted by them.
Hence, culture plays a big role in determining how an individual behaves in any
given environment. Take for example, in some places, baring the breasts is seen as
normal, while in some places it is forbidden. Some places allow males and females
to mingle freely in public places: others do not. This has a tremendous impact on
behavior, and is evident when these persons go to a place that has a different
culture compared to theirs. They encounter what is known as “culture shock", and
it is most evident from their reactions and behaviors to certain unique stimuli
which they come in contact with in a new place. Aim to be a polite culture and
although we can’t change a culture you are a free person and can change one’s self
culture, it will take time and will encounter many hurdles one of which is people
saying oh you've changed, but persist and you maybe more be cultured.
