A Paddler’s Perspective
Being of mixed cultures myself, I always ask the question, “what is culture to me?” I think these resources give good overall descriptions of what makes up culture for each and every one of us. It’s a very individual thing… and can be quite personal. I hope you are starting to gather the notion that culture is much more than what we see from the outside. Yes, our culture defines how we look, how we act, how we eat, how we dress, etc…but it’s much deeper than that…isn’t it? Culture also defines us on how we think.
