I do not think that I can define the word ‘culture’. It is a word with a very complicated meaning. Cultures differ not only between various countries, but also within a country. India for example has so many different cultures. Every culture has a set of beliefs which differ from others. Based on these beliefs people either get along or don’t get along. Arranged marriages are very popular in our country. It is done so that in the future there aren’t any problems between families. It is another story whether the boy and girl gel or not.
It is interesting to study about different cultures and know more about each one. If you take a close look and different cultures and compare them you will find a few similarities. Even between the East and West. I really do not know where each culture has come from. Maybe thousands of years ago somebody had made a few rules for his family and that is now a culture. It is fascinating how similar people of a particular culture behave and how different they are from those of a different one.
I am not against each culture having a set of beliefs but it shouldn’t get in the way of living peacefully. These days I find that Westerners are fascinated with the Indian culture. They come all the way here just to study it and people here are fascinated with the culture there. One place where I have seen people from various countries is Dubai. I call it the cosmopolitan city. People speak different languages, wear different kinds of clothes, are of different religions and beliefs. It is truly amazing to see all these people living there in peace. This shows that even people with different beliefs can exist in the same place minus the bad vibes. Instead of fighting for your values and beliefs, it is a lot more fun to study other cultures and learn something from them.
