49.Culture

i. How is culture formed?

To be honest, I've never really thought about it in detail, and I'm afraid my understanding might be pretty vague, but I guess culture is formed through people's traditions, beliefs, and the way they live. For example, the way families celebrate holidays or the kinds of food they eat can be part of their culture. It probably develops as people share their experiences with each other and pass them down through generations. I imagine things like language and religion play a role too, shaping how people see the world and interact with each other. Even the way people dress or what kind of music they listen to can have an impact too, but that's just my guess. One thing is certain: it doesn't happen overnight. Culture is formed over time, and I think it takes centuries, not just decades.

ii  How does the Internet affect culture?

On the one hand, the internet helps keep culture alive and even makes it stronger among people. When people use the internet to share their traditions, stories, and customs - such as how they celebrate holidays, cook traditional foods, or practice rituals -it helps others learn about and remember these aspects of their culture.. This way, culture does not disappear because it is supported more and more by the community. On the flip side, global trends, like fashion or music, spread quickly through the internet. When people follow the same global trends, it can make the world more uniform, meaning that cultures become less unique This can negatively affect local traditions and customs, as they might be overshadowed by popular trends from other places.
