Cultures

Our individual cultures are reflected in many ways – what we wear, how we identify ourselves (names), what we eat, what we read, even how we speak. Can we include gender as a culture (both a culture of males and a culture of females) as we do Canadian, Ethiopian, Christian, etc.? What would be some of the differences between these gender cultures? To answer this question, we must first define Culture. The text defines culture as: …

…made that they are two separate cultures. Moms sharing an old recipe with their daughters or fathers passing down a pocket watch that’s been in the family for generations; all of it could be seen as forms of continuing each respective culture not through genetics but through communication. This fits into the definition of the word culture as shown above; so one could say that gender could be grouped into the category of culture.
