Well here I am on a Bank Holiday, writing another assignment for Uni . It’s an interesting subject though: Does culture work to convert people into it? Good question really seeing as there are so many overlapping cultures and sub-cultures in every aspect of our lives.

In many ways, we are the product of the various cultures around us. We quickly learn how to behave or act in certain environments and we accept the traditions, values and customs of these cultures.

Yet we also help to shape and influence the cultures around us. Think of your close circle of friends, there is a culture of which you are an intimate part and have a degree of influence into.

So do we get ‘converted’ into particular cultures? If by conversion we mean accepting and adapting ourselves to fit into specific patterns of belief then, I think, Yes we do.

The only problem is, I have to make this a 2000 word essay…
