How Does Culture Influence Our Choices

The first person to put step on this Earth was Adam and then Eve, they continued the human race. One family grew which resulted in another family. Families turned into tribes, tribes into villages, villages into cities then countries and then came geographical distribution. People of different races and geo areas. Color differences, racial differences and geographical differences etc. Every tribe had their own thinking their own traditions their own lifestyle. Their traditions are their identities. They with their different cultural backgrounds have different expectations norms and values, which in turn have the potential to influence their judgment and decisions. In Pakistan, most of our big decisions in life are influenced by our culture. What to wear, what not to wear. How to eat, how to sit, how to talk, how to walk, how to greet, how to meet, etc.

In every step our culture has taught us how to do it. Our cultures are our identities. The extent to which our culture influences our decisions depends on a number of factors. European Americans, for example, are generally influenced by positive consequences of a decision, whereas Asians appear to be more influenced by the negative consequences that may occur due

Often people from one culture are surprised by decisions taken by other people of a culture. Every culture is different and unique in its own way. That is why cultures are considered as an identity of an individual. But sometimes cultures can be harsh on its own people because cultures are there from centuries and with the technological advances the world is making every day it is very hard to keep following those cultures. Therefore, decision making is being impacted by it. You become a laughing stock to the world if you keep those cultures with you all the time, as the world is a very harsh place to live
