Not a Proud Culture Vulture

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

I am not proud,it’s not in my cultural background to have pride.Indeed pride,if not the actual sin of vanity ,negates my view that the best thing about my cultural background is indeed my ingrained belief in multiculturalism.

That’s not to say that my background ,environmental influences and genetics have not given me many interesting and valuable traits that inherently define me. Nothing wrong with that.

The most valuable trait is however the ability to accept and understand all the other cultures that exist and to respect them and in turn to gain the respect of other cultures by being respectful of their beliefs.

That is ingrained in me and makes me strong not weak. A vulture will pick at carrion for its’ survival, but carrion is dead.Culture is alive and kicking ;we should embrace it and respect it for what it is Culture.
