Culture and Hometown
My Hometown

Anyang, the name of my hometown, is a medium and small-sized city in Henan province of central and north of china. I am very glad to recommend my hometown to you.

Natives in Anyang are very kindly and friendly, if you come here, you will have this impression to depth. People here are also diligent; most of them work hard with a strong desire to make our hometown more beautiful and wealthy.

What I am proudest of is a fairly long history of my hometown. Do you know Shang Dynasty? This dynasty constructed its kingdom in the place of my hometown; it has a history of over 3300 years. Now Anyang is famous for its cultural relics which have been the world culture heritage. Especially, the biggest bronze in the world was dug out here by archaeologist in 1939. There are other culture relics and history sites. Anyang, as one of the eight ancient capital of China attracts lots of visitors from all over the world every year, such as, the old city ruins, Zhou Yi, Tai Ji and the tomb of the first recorded female general in Chinese history.

History of my hometown has a great appeal for visitors; however, maybe a few people who are not natives know there are also beautiful natural scenic views, for instance, Taihang Mountains, and Red-Flag canal. Pretty scenery and nice environment will be found here. The delicious traditional food of my hometown, I also would like to recommend to you. “Bian Fen Cai”, the main food, is made up of many materials; “Fen Jang Fan” is a kind of delicious porridge and “Dao Kou” grilled chicken has existed for more than one hundred years. I believe that you will have a big meal if you come here.

This is my charming and attractive hometown, do you love it? I promise it is a perfect place to be, sincerely welcome you to my

    Culture

    Culture can be basically defined as a pattern of learned behavior and ideas acquired by people as members of society. Culture was created in order to accommodate human beings in different society and establish their identity. Culture is not accustomed to one specific characteristic. It has a multiple dimensions. The way we talk, dress, eat, sleep, work and our knowledge and skills can be accustomed to our culture. These human manners are not uniform all over the place so, they change over time and space. Thus anthropologists have distinguished different cultural traditions different from one another with very thin line between them. And in the course people share, burrow and practice culture from one other. Cultural practices have become inevitable part of human being because we have become biologically dependent on culture for our own survival. For example human beings are not born with some natural instincts. In fact we depend upon the support, nurture and culture of our surroundings to survive. And by learning the cultural practice of the place we live in, we become mature enough to make rational decision and act for our own survival.…

    Sichuan is the home only for my grandfather, but not for me. Even though I can speak the dialect, I do not belong to this place. I am not from Sichuan. I am from Beijing and I am a Beijinger with no doubt. My grandpa is from Sichuan, because here is the place where he was born and raised, where his close families live and where all his old memories keep. A part of his life interacted, is interacting, and will interact with the city. When he saw young kids playing in the river in front of our house, he remembered the afternoon when he skipped from the school and played with his childhood friends. When we gathered and ate around the dining table, he remembered the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner when he first met his brother’s wife. Every object, every smell and every person could activate a part of his memory, even a single grain of sand. His root is in here. However, there is not such emotional affiliation between me and all those objects. I am an outsider who only amazed at how beautiful the scenery was and how delicious the food was. Nothing else. I am just a visitor of the city who understand its…

    I was raised in the small town of Hidalgo, Texas, just on the side of the Mexican Border. Living there made me grow up thinking that possibilities were limited and there was not much offered to us. Although, along the years, I realized that this town did not define me , and it actually made me strong enough to take on life elsewhere in the future . I remember being in this town ten years ago, and there was only local businesses . The town has grown along with me, and it has opened up opportunities to its community and myself.…

    Professional counselors have the obligation to ensure quality and effective counseling toward clients. All the while, counselors are committed to the ethical guidelines that are established to avoid legal, professional malpractice and competent issues. Some of those guidelines consider dual relationships and professional boundaries. Counselors are not to engage in dual relationships with clients, supervisors, and coworkers, and also should be cautioned to prevent situations that may cause ethical boundary violations. However, after a client has completed treatment and has been terminated for some time, some of those rules tend to change. Therefore, counselors should be able to think logically while having criteria to make ethical decisions.…

    In the video, one of geographical concepts Hans Rosling talks about is total fertility rate, or the average number of children a woman has in a country. Rosling used a chart to show multiple examples of this concept in the countries of the world. The question of if the average number of children has decreased over the last 50 years or increased. For example the total fertility rate in Qatar in 1971 was 7, whereas in 2010 it decreased all the way to 2. Multiple other countries had the same drastic decrease in TFR, which suggests that these countries around the world are becoming more developed which is significant when studying geography in knowing how fast a population is growing and developing.…

    “Family culture is a unique way that a family forms itself in terms of rules, roles, habits, activities, beliefs, and other areas” (“What is family culture?”, 2002). The perception of family is an aspect of family culture; this includes the interactions within the family and with others. Some of these perceptions can be defined as myths. A myth is a belief about someone or something that is believed to be true, but it is false, made-up, or exaggerated (S. Yu, Lecture). There are both positive and negative aspects of believing myths. Believing myths could be very dysfunctional; they can result in negative consequences that disrupt a family and they may also divert our attention away from widespread social problems that affect families. On the other hand, believing some of these myths could lead to positive outcomes as well; they could bring us together and promote social solidarity and they could also allow individuals to instill traditional values from their culture. Three popular myths include the universal, idealized nuclear family of the past, the self-reliant family, and the perfect marriage, the perfect family myths. These myths can create unrealistic expectations about what families can or should be or do; or they distort the diverse experiences of other family units (Schwartz & Scott, 2007).…
