The idea that the way we view the world is influenced by\nculture is outstanding. I never believed that the way we perceive the world or\nenvironment is influenced by culture until recently. For example, the picture \u201cAmbiguous\nLady\u201d. In this picture we can see an old or young lady. Our answer is an\nexample of our relation to our age, culture, or background. When I looked at\nthe picture, I saw a young lady. I did not see an older lady until it was\npointed out to me. The way that we perceive the world is greatly influenced on who\nwe are, and were we were raised. As an American, I see the world in a self-centered\nview. When I look at something, I see how it related directly to myself. This\nis a very important part of my culture. This view ensures our cultural evolutionary\ndesire for survival, and the individual idea of society. Therefore, I see a\nyoung lady. The American perception is based on independent thought, self-reliance,\nand self-preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned a lot from this section. Art is a reflection on\nyour soul. Art is perceived differently depending on their ideas, views, or dreams.\nDifferent countries see the same image with different results. Sometimes you do\nnot see an image until it is pointed out. These examples prove that your\nculture plays a major role in your results. Culture teaches us what to think, what\nwe should perceive, and what is acceptable. Without it we would not be able to\nevolve as a society, and love art. Therefore, your answer of your perception is\na window into your soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature and nurture are both part of the process of culture\nto understand what we think and see. Everybody perceives things differently. It\nis not the same size fits all. What we focus on tends to relate to each individual\nbackground. There are many pictures of optical illusions that show to this\nidea. What you see often relates to your identity and background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s standard culture views of beauty is a very difficult\nsection for me personally. As a female, I am constantly objectified for my\nphysical characteristics. Growing up, I was extremely physically fit, with a\nsmall frame. This ensured jealously and comments about my weight, body, and how\nlucky I was to be \u201csmall\u201d, with no consideration of any expectations that was\nrequired for me to \u201cfit\u201d into this ideal body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ads in media and magazines were my main source of the ideal\nbeauty. Unfortunately, it is impossible for an average teenage girl to have a figure\nwhile maintaining a healthy diet. Pills, diets, and extreme exercise programs constantly\nchanging to ensure that as a teenage female I was beautiful. This behavior was reinforced\nby my peer groups, family, and strangers during sports competitions. While I tried\nto maintain a positive eating schedule, it was difficult between advertisements\nand general acceptance of skinny is healthy, and there is nothing wrong with\npills, or puking to achieve the desired results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the early 2000\u2019s, advertisement during this period started\nto use younger ladies as models. The standard acceptance of lack of clothing\nwere more acceptable than in previous generations. As a teenager, and later a\nyoung adult I had to re-enforce to myself the idea that one person\u2019s beauty is\nnot the same as another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s acceptance of younger models used as a sexual reference\nis a concern. This creates a dangerous standard of acceptance of what is acceptable\nage for sexual objectifiable. As a mother, this culture standard is a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peer groups and families have different roles depending on each culture. Today so much is changing so quickly that young adolescents are having to teach the older generations how to work technology and what is excepted by new social standards. Many westerns cultures are supportive of prefigurative cultures. Our American culture accepts change and values equality above all else. Certain ideas and standards of acceptability are changing as we as a nation evolve into a better society. The parent generation must realize that technology and social standards have changed since we were children. Last semester I took adolescent psychology. Adolescents have their own support structure and mini culture among their selves. Peer influence is found worldwide. Many adolescents are looking to find support and advice from their fellow age groups instead of their elders. By teaching and raising our children to be productive members of society and to follow good ethic values such as, respecting their elders, we can produce adolescents with greater positive influence in each other\u2019s lives. This is important to me because I am raising two young children. My daughter is attending middle school next year and is relying on a positive peer pressure group for support and advice. By raising Samantha with good strong core values, I can only hope that she finds a positive group to influence her decisions in life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
