What Is Cultural Identity

Cultural Identity is a person’s background or history, it also has a lot to do with the religion you belong to, and has a lot to do with your nationality and ethnicity ,it could also be how someone refers to another person, or how you are referred to by others. A person’s traditions and religion can determine who a person is, how they act, and even how they may be treated during life, basically a person’s “cultural identity”. A person’s culture is very specific, from what language they speak, their religion, how they think, to where they come from or where their family comes from. Religion is mostly what a person believes in, or what god a person believes in, Research shows that people strongly believe that a person’s religion or traditions
It could change how people think, and what a specific person may do in their lifetime. In some aspects religion determines almost everything that happens in life. In certain cultures, for example the Islamic Culture, religion is a huge factor in their everyday lives. Their religion determines what they eat, how they play with one another, what they wear (how they dress), and when and where they go to school. Cultural identity can be affected by a person’s religion, religion is such a strong aspect in life that it shows you what is right or what is wrong in life. It may guide that person’s life and tell people what to do, how to do it and when to do it. Many people that follow one religion or culture, interact within that one group that practices that one religion, those people would probably have a special bond that would not be as easily to make with another person that is not within that specific group that practices that specific culture. THe quote from... “Their daily lives are circumscribed by religious doctrine; their schooling, their clothing, even what they eat and how they play are strongly influenced by the constraints their religion places on their lives”. This quote from … supports my claim by showing how religion may determine how a specific person’s life will be planned out, and how religion affects how people interact with one
Their religion would not affect their job, what they eat, how they interact with one another or what they do without their lifetime. Religion can impact what someone thinks on a certain topic or situation, it can impact how you feel on a specific thing that you see, but it does not determine EVERYTHING. For example the Christian religion; someone may go to church on Sunday’s and Bible Study on Wednesday nights, and they might read the bible but that one or two days at church would not determine what that person will eat on a Thursday night or it might not determine if that person is in a relationship with a non Christian or if they interact with one another. Or it could be the other way around. Someone’s religion may determine what they watch on television or at the movie theaters or it may determine if they interact with someone who doesn't believe they same as them, but Religion still wouldn't determine every little detail in a person’s life. “I follow a set of rules regarding health and behavior that is outlined by my religion, and it also impacts the movies I see and the books I read, because I choose not to see or read certain types of things. Why? Because it is hard for me to have all that ugliness in my head when I am working hard to be a person of truth and beauty. Sounds corny, but I know there are a lot of people who live in the "real"
