1. In my experience, it depends on which cultural background someone is from. Some people are able to discard their national identities more readily than others.
2. Although many people believe a person's country no longer has a great influence on their culture, what I believe is that, under the surface, the impact of where a person is from is enormous.
3. It is evident to me that we can never truly escape our origins.They are with us from birth and are present during our formative years.
4. Some people are of the opinion that, for example, because the same fast-food chains exist in every country, everyone likes the same food. However, the reality is that in most parts of the world people eat the same food, typical of their own country or region, almost every day.
5. While it may be true that certain aspects of culture are shared by people from all over the world, we cannot deny that our beliefs and behaviours are shaped by the national environment in which we grow up.
6. While I admit that the country of origin is a major factor in determining one's culture, I strongly believe that anyone who moves overseas for work or study can be equally influenced by the culture of this host country.
