What do you think about culture? Do you think it has change since the time you  were born or even when your parents or grantparents tell now? I think culture has changed a lot from back in the days because of how we live today. Before, in culture every family would carry out the tradition in their culture and follow it where ever they go, but nowadays things changed, some people dont even follow the tradition they had in their family before, since some family members stopped teaching or following the tradition, the new genaration has no clue about their great great grandparents and what tradition they use to follow. Chapter 3 in the textbook, talks about what is culture, how can it create conflict, how is it growing from before and now, and mostly how can you use sociological view to better understand its importance in our eveyday life? This chapter tells you in detail to detail how culture works and gives great examples to explain it better for us to understand. This chapter ties into the article "Teenage Wasteland" by Donna Gaines of how culture changed and how its changing our generation today. In this society teengers are more intense and that gives them more pressure of taking drugs, alcohol and violence. We need to try to give these teengers more time to do activites and actually listen to what their going through in life. But sometimes I still think about is it going to help even if we provided all these things? I agree with providing more but I always still question myself is it enough and is it going to help them, and make them stop thinking low about their selves, and not to do dangerous things or killing themsleves becuase they dont feel as if they belong in this society. Thinking back, so do you still believe in your culture still? and still hold on to your family tradition? Even though I grew up here, I still do my best to keep my tradition and follow as much as I can.
