MY FAMILY CULTURE

Based on my family’s culture, I would choose items that's clearly explainable about what we believe in as well as items that exhibit our cultural values.  My family is very religious.  As a result, I would choose to take the Bible to show my religious beliefs and to educate others about Christianity.  The second item I would take is a photo album of my family.  I can use this album to show others my family and my heritage.  The third item would be a quilt that has been passed down through the generations.  Quilting is a hobby that has become part of my heritage and culture. Many of the older women quilt; therefore, I would continue to teach this to future generations.

The Bible is the most important item because it is the core value in my family.  Religion is about spiritual and cultural connections.  Plus, the Bible contains scriptural knowledge that can be used to teach future generations.

  1. Hi Antowah,
    I can relate to your items. I also come from a religious backgroung and feel that I would need to have my personal bible to see me through a rough time. We all have our various ways of dealing with this horrible situation.

  2. Hello Antowah,
    I chose two of the same items that you did my bible and photo. These are important items that hold spiritual and personal connections in our family culture. This assignment brought back a lot of childhood memories for me growing up in my extended family.
