Cultural Views

Everyone has some kind culture that contributes to their views on the world. This is true in countless stories and in real life. For some, culture can be a large contributor to their information on the world. But ultimately it is how one interprets their culture that affects the way that they view the world. It is how that person chooses to interpret those experiences that affects their views on the world.
