My culture plays a role in how a person’s identity is formed. Aside from the good that is found in my culture, there are many factors that can either make you a slave to society or your own person. One factor that plays a role in my identity is my gender. Gender roles in my culture have been passed down through generations. You are identified by the way you are as a woman in society. A woman is required to cook, clean, and raise children, whereas, men are required to work outside to provide their family with the necessities they need in order to live a stable life. However, these gender roles have been slowly breaking down in terms of young women gaining their education, working and building themselves up for their own future. In my culture, there is no sense of individuality. You are who you hang out with and you are perceived based on the personality of those you surround yourself with and the way you act. Even your own family’s actions can either come against you or support you for future purposes. My culture is very focused on judgement. However, recent generations have been breaking all these ‘rules’ that have been set out over time.
