Culture and Location

Today in class we talked about how your location can affect your culture. Culture includes what sports teams you route for, what traditions you inherit, and how you feel about a certain place. For example, in Maryland, we have a prominent tradition of crab feasts. Other places around the world may not understand this, and might think it's weird. I agree that it is kind of odd, and I would understand why other places think it's completely insane. If i walked into arizona, and saw then picking apart squirrels for a "squirrel feast", I might scream and run away. It also determines what things you believe in. One example is sports teams. Since my dad lived in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Maryland when he was growing up, he routes for the Eagles and the Phillies, along with the orioles and ravens. Even though he lives in Maryland now, he still brings his old beliefs with him.
