Answer:
Culture is indeed very influential in defining one's self. The personality of a person, so with is his/her behavior, is affected by culture. Our common acts of sleeping, eating, and even expressing despair or showing affection are influenced by one's culture. It is the one who shapes and molds us individuals. As you can see, no two persons are alike given that we grow up in varied cultural environments. Our lifestyle is greatly influenced by what our culture dictates and that also means it's our culture that makes us who we are in the eyes of other people and even to our own self.
