how does culture influence your behaviour. provide examples.

You may have all sorts of friends but sometimes friends influence you negatively or positively. When a friend encourages you to do something bad i.e. smoking this is called negative peer pressure. When your friends encourage you to do some thing good i.e. your homework this is called positive peer pressure. This makes choosing the right friends important. Sometimes cultures or your culture can influence the way you behave or what you do or say.

Sometimes there are stereotypes Italians for example are very gossipy kind of people and they have large families. Wether these stereotypes are true or not are futile but still influence the child or teenager.

The way your friends and culture influences you plays a momentous part in developing towards adulthood and life. Some cultures don’t allow the women to pay for a date. There is one case in Chisholm College where a student is not allowed to go to the semiformal due to her culture.
