Two paining, which I choose they are traditional painting. When people watch this painting (color and thinking). It is easy for people think about traditional culture. Two pictures show people for peaceful. The sculpture I chose is the Yungang Grottoes “The work on this first period of carving lasted until the year 465 AD, and the caves are now known as caves 16–20. Beginning around the year 471 AD, in a second construction phase that lasted until 494 AD, the twin caves 5/6, 7/8, and 9/10 as well as the caves 11, 12, and probably 13 were constructed under the supervision and support of the imperial court. The imperial patronage ended 494 AD with the move of the Wei court to the new capital of Luoyang. All other caves emerged under private patronage in a third construction period, lasting until 525, when the construction came to a final halt due to uprisings in the area.” Buddha is important in Asian culture, there are many believers. Regarding the cultural identity, I chose the film Yong Zheng Dynasty,Young Zheng was a Emperor, “A hard-working ruler, Yongzheng's main goal was to create an effective government at minimal expense. Like his father, the Kangxi Emperor, Yongzheng used military force to preserve the dynasty's position. Suspected by historians to have usurped the throne, his reign was known as despotic, efficient, and vigorous.” This film, which deeply introduces palace politics struggles.
CCTV is very important channel in China. It always shows some news or politic of key points. This is a good representation of the cultural identity, it talks about Chinese government official daily news.

It also represent male, I want to be a Dragon in some day. For me, right now, I am a junior college students, I actually didn’t go

    The most important and first thing to have is to ensure there is a safe and warm emotional relationship with the children. This not only builds trust but also helps them understand and connect with cultural identities. As an educator myself I have to fully understand the children’s culture to enable me to meet the learning, social and wellbeing needs of children and their families. Give opportunity for children to be exposed to the different cultures such as through, videos, storytelling, ‘show and tell’ and even learning basic words in other language. We ourselves need to be a non-judgemental and non-bias educator as children tends to copy our actions. When a child display signs of being disrespectful, it is important to explain to the child that what he is doing is unacceptable, tell him that understanding and learning about different culture shows a respectful and good behaviour. Educators might encourage children from different background to play together.…

One of the issues it addresses is the question of the collective identity, seen in that how the characters struggle between their Selves and the collective Other. That being said, this paper aims to discuss the question of collective cultural identity in the novel by focusing on the process of the protagonist, Shao, in using writing to position a new self confronting the collective. It argues the transcendence of the narrator’s self at length in crossing…

    Until today, I never put much thought into my culture identity, I had always thought that I was Mexican and that was it, there is nothing more to it. My parents who are fully Mexican have always taught me that my culture is very important. They always told me that, my culture is one of the things that make me stand out from the rest.

    When you think of the typical middle-class, white family some might draw thoughts from the classic 50's scene of the Mother cooking, the Husband returning from work, while the Son and Daughter are doing homework at the table.

    Everyone is born with their own unique identity; these identities are largely influenced by the society and culture around them. Society shapes people to believe what is and what isn't acceptable. All throughout history humans have battled with what they believe is their true identity, and what society believes their identity should be. A common theme of literature is to capture the constant struggle between individuals and their communities. This struggle with society can be seen in many works such as: The Crucible, The Scarlet Letter, The Awakening, and "The Birthmark". Society influences the identities of mankind through the expectations and roles assigned to them.…
