My Opinion on How Culture Affects Our Actions

Based on The Bet, My answer to this question has changed. Before I read this I thought that culture influences a person's actions and behaviors because you are born and raised with a certain culture. You are used to doing things a certain way, and having certain, beliefs, traditions, and values. People can also influence you to change your beliefs, traditions, and values. This statement is true about how culture influences a person’s actions and behaviors, but The Bet has changed my views on how culture influences a person’s actions. In The Bet, after being locked up for many years, the man suddenly did not want money in return for staying in prison for fifteen years. After living part of his life alone in silence, he suddenly didn’t want the money because while in confinement, he developed knowledge and realized that he didn’t need the money. Your actions and behaviors can change your culture because after experiencing something, your opinion on things is subject to change.
