Everyone knows the ONE Similarity between these three people.

Is preserving your culture and traditions important to you ? Why ? How are you doing it?

I have a culture day coming up, I'm half swiss and half english. but never really experienced Swiss culture as I grew up in England. I'm wondering what to wear, can someone help.

Growing up I was told I had no culture so naturally I thought just that. I always thought it would be cool to like be apart of any culture, so I made my own (language, customs, mannerisms,etc...). I just want to know if this is weird because I feel like it takes up my time and it's no use if I'm the only one apart of this culture

(P.s. sorry for the bad wording)

Hi! I'm Nicaraguan and Italian. A lot of people in America would describe me as white passing as my biological father was white but he and his family have never been in my life as I was raised by my totally brown, Nicaraguense family.

My 100% Nicaraguan family members have been confused for Israeli, Egyptian and other cultures before. In Nicaragua, there are plenty of different colors of people, all subscribing to the same culture, often involving braids that in America today would be considered offensive for someone who looks like me to wear. Growing up though, my abuelita and tias would put my hair in lots of small braids because it made it easier to manage in humid weather and other circumstances, as they always have done in Nicaragua.

My question is how, if wearing styles of braids that have been described as inappropriate for white people to wear, do hispanics (or individuals from other cultures) that look white (even if they aren't at all) practice their culture's traditions in the form of these braids without being criticized?

I know there are many people who don't believe that this is offensive, but for those who do, do they even consider that what they're looking at isn't actually a totally white person at all? I sometimes feel like I have to abandon traditions from my actual culture just because I don't want to look like some crazy ass white girl...

Curious about the representation of women and feminine figures on the internet. I remember back in 2007 when I first joined Tumblr, it felt like a sanctuary where teenage girls could express themselves freely through images and text. It was a refreshing escape from the rigid beauty standards promoted on other platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Any similar experiences or insights you'd like to share?

What is the philosophy or cultural way of life of each country ?

I know that there is some way of life like "Bubuti" in Kiribati, "Sisu" in Finland, "Jantavolen" in Denmark, or fa'asamoa in samoa but I try to search others in the world.

Do you know some others ?

Just ask what u want to know

I’m from the uk and wanted to say. That I love, love, love australia. You might say, well there’s spiders in the way, but you can just leave them alone and they won’t bother you. I love Australian culture, the people everything I’m a big Aussie fan. And want to visit soon. You have awesome animals, and in general it’s always been my favourite country. Although I want to visit everywhere:) I think a trip to the USA would be nice too. Especially Yellowstone national park. Bug where I want to live is australia

Let me know if this is the right sub to post this in too, and sorry if it isn’t

I’m fully white. My mom and dad were born in Brittan and so were their parents. The thing is for my fathers first birthday he moved to Africa and was raised there. When he was 30 he came to Canada and married my mom. I was then born in Canada so I am Canadian. But because my dad was raised in South Africa he gained the culture a bit. He made the dishes and we ate like that. He also came to Canada with a white witch view, spoke Zulu and listed to the music and all of that stuff. He came back to Canada with a South African background kinda or wtv u call it. Does that make an impact on me. Like I cook like him and have the same views and he taught me some Zulu. So I was raised with some of the culture he brought back. Does that make a difference? Am I like included in that culture if I was raised in a house that worked around it? Or am I just a white Canadian. Or am I a white Canadian with an African subculture or what? I don’t mean to be mean or anything I’m genuinely just clueless and have always thought about that.

Hey are their other Asyrians on this app?

In 2020, I had the opportunity to travel on a plane for the first time. I was boarding a flight connecting Amsterdam to Houston when I noticed about 5-6 women wearing African head wraps in line to board too. The flight attendants had a difficult time communicating with them and vice versa but got everything sorted out. I discovered that I am those people that COMPLETELY knock out once the plane takes off. I guess the stress of traveling on a plane and traveling internationally while alone really took a toll on my sleep. I remember opening my eyes and seeing one of the women with the head wraps kept looking back at me from across the aisle. She wasn’t saying anything or smiling which in other instances would make me uncomfortable but I was REALLY sleepy so I didn’t mind and fell asleep. A captains announcement woke me up when I saw that the woman was visibly having a hard time napping. She would move in her seat and lay her head to one side then the other until she looked over at me while I slowly went back to sleep. I was in a deep trance when I heard one of the attendants say, “ Oh my god! Ma’am please go back to your seat”. I opened my eyes to see the woman laying her head on my shoulder and trying to nap with me. I didn’t see her as a threat and again was SO SLEEPY that when the attendant asked if I knew the woman next to me, I just responded, “no” before closing my eyes and again…went back to sleep. They ended up helping the woman move back to her seat and helped her get comfortable. I always saw it as a good omen that a stranger probably saw enough peace in me to share a nap with me lol!

My question: Is this a tradition in Africa? Are naps with others common?

Every time I go to if the have elephant mythology it doesn't show up and elephant were promenit on Arabian.

Only a taste of the incredible creativity happening in Hebrew music these days! I put together a playlist that spans different styles, all featuring artists who are pushing the boundaries of what Hebrew music can be. Enjoy!

my dad was watching the tv and there was like a girl and she had no voice when she was singing Indian songs so please welcome my dad for being right

Everywhere you go, it feels like the place you just left. Take a cross state road trip and every rest stop has the same basic configuration of the same kind of shops. You're guaranteed the same consumer experience at a McDonalds in NYC as a Mcdonalds in LA. On every blue collar work site, you will hear the same 200 classic rock songs playing on the radio. And on every college campus, they are having the same boring debates..

Hi reddit friends!

I need a little help with finding a person to interview for a paper.

Currently taking Psychology and Culture PSY325. My final paper for the term is to interview someone from a different culture than mine who has "substantial life experiences" they recommend someone 55+ to interview. So here lies my issue. I live in a very rural area and basically everyone I know and people in the community are all the same culture. I figured reaching our on reddit might be my best bet.

Little bit about me. 35F I lived in far northern California for basically my entire life. Raised in a Christian household, but not religious anymore.

Any help is appreciated!
