Cultural Quotient

According to philosophy of existentialism, human being is thrown in the world to create his own self. I would go further and affirm that human being is thrown into the culture and is brought and shaped by that culture. The culture of the person influences every aspect such as attitudes, behaviour, dealings, relationship, language, reasoning and so on. In other words, there is no particular trait that is not touched by culture. What a person is or makes him/her self of is due to cultural background. What is acquired through culture, according to me, is always natural. As for example, if a person is brought up in a culture where there are thieves, for such a person stealing is natural.

                Thinking differently, culture is the dominant narrative in the life and existence of human being. No human being can escape culture. In other words, the way we are now, the way we were, the way we will be is all determined by culture. For example, if a Pumpkin at its inception is put in a bottle, it will grow to the length and breadth of the size of that bottle.

            All human beings are without exception are culturally determined beings. It is a gift that each one of us received no matter where we are and what we are. On the other way around, no one desires a particular culture, but my birth in a particular culture will with me until my death.  What is important for me is that each of us has a culture and a capacity to addict to different cultures to survive in order to create human self.
