In the “cultural Baggage” essay the author describes her feelings of having no ethnic heritage. She makes many assumptions about other people and their choices in adhering to a religious or ethnic heritage. In fact, her family gave a philosophy of trying new things and thinking for herself; which she wants to spread it in to the society. In contrast, my parents gave me this same encouragement but didn't ask me to forget my family heritage in exchange. What I know is that you can learn from the past while living in the present. The issue of trying to find an identity plays a major role in her definition of culture.
I personally, am not agreeing with her thoughts, because she shows a negative aspect of the culture and society. I think that she have two be proud of her backgrounds in her culture, because of it she have learned a lot of things and have formed as a person with integrity, decisions and moral. We can’t make a complaint about it because thanks to that with have formed our basis of our moral. In addition, the culture depends on you and on the country where you are living and with people who you are living together day to day.
