About this document
Understanding Cultural Influences by banarisali is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Cultures are shaped by shared assumptions and beliefs that influence individual and social behavior in often subtle ways. Societies establish norms and customs that serve to maintain the status quo while also limiting perceptions and possibilities. Questioning foundational cultural assumptions can be difficult and disruptive, as communities find stability and members find comfort through conforming to established social patterns and identifying with the prevailing ideologies of their culture or group.
