1.1. Culture influences people’s lives in many ways, including where they decide to stay, what they do, their perception of education, what employment they consider suitable, their behaviors, their accent, what they read or what they do for entertainment. In addition, culture has a huge impact on human lives in regard to what people wear, say or find humorous. Culture also affects how the human brain responds to different stimuli
1.2. When I think about culture and the way that it affects people. I don't think that it has affected me as it has others. I read what I like, wear what I want, I talk funny no matter where I go because I am an Army brat and English isn't my first language. I am not to proud to take any job that I can get as long as I would be able to support myself and my son. all of my siblings and I have different religions, different education levels.
1.3. I really believe that I was born in the wrong time. Because I don't mind being a home maker and taking care of the house and the children. I love taking care of others.
2. Family Influence
2.1. When it comes to family influence I have lots not all of it was positive nor was it negative.
2.2. When I was 3 my parents started their divorce and it was finished by the time that I was 6 and in first grade. My mom never remarried so she was a single parent that had to support us so she had lots of jobs. So she and my older sister parented me when I was at her house. My sister is 9 years older then me so that was a great burden but she was awesome and I consider her mom 2. My father was in the Army and remarried a wonderful woman who was a great step mother to me and my siblings we call her OMA which is Korean for mom. She didn't have to be she already had a grown son. She has been really helpful to me going thru this divorce.
2.3. I learned what a marriage was supposed to look like from my Oma and dad. And yet somehow my marriage didnt work out how theirs did they have been married since i was six i am now 33.
2.4. They all three have greatly affected the way that I developed. I try to combine all of their parenting styles when it comes to raising my son. I know that children don't grow up in a vacuum and they watch the way that parent interact. It teaches them how to treat their significant others when they get in a relationship.
3. Peer Influence
3.1. I didn't really have a lot of friends growing up. I was sort of the odd man out most of the time. Also, since being married I haven't really gotten to socialize with others. So I am not really sure if Peers have influenced me in anyway.
3.2. The only thing that has possibly affect me in anyway positively or negatively would be my friends who have children my sons age, who also breastfeed. They were great support for me when it came to that when my own husband was not.
3.3. Peers are individuals of about the same age or maturity level. Peer groups provide a source of information and comparison about the world outside the family
