How would you describe mother culture in your own life?


From what I understand, Mother Culture, in the novel, is the embodiment of the culture around us and all of our influences, whether it is the media, our parents, friends, teachers, etc. In my own life, Mother Culture is all around. Whether it’s my train ride to school or my teachers talking, I intake each bit of information and retain that knowledge for later. It’s also my aspect on life, everything I see, whether it is significant or not, it might affect me later. Like for example, when I look at an ad in a magazine, I might not immediately think that I’ll link this ad when I think about something later, but unknowingly that might just happen. Mother culture is the music I listen to and the books I read and the homework I do. Mother Culture is sort of like this large ambiguous figure that has no definite black and white answer but rather is a large gray area that covers many different diverse areas of culture and visual stimulation. Mother Culture is all around us, and there really isn’t a way to escape it, but rather embrace and discover more about ourselves.
