Define cultural identity, and discuss how culture is involved in learning.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Our cultural identities evolve throughout our lives in response to political, economic, educational, and social experiences. Cultural identity is learned as part of our ethnic group, but it is also developed as part of our religion, socioeconomic status, geographic region, place of residence, and gender, to name just a few microcultures. Culture is heavily involved in learning. From the time we are quite young, we are socialized to learn in different ways.
