Emotions and culture

Emotions and culture are both things that help shape who we are as people. Emotions are the way we feel about things, like if something makes us angry or happy. Culture is the traditions, beliefs, and customs of a group of people. For example, if you grew up in the United States, you would have a different culture than if you grew up in France. Different cultures have different expectations for how people should express and show their emotions. In some cultures, it is okay to express strong emotions, like anger, while in other cultures people might show their emotions differently. Knowing and understanding different cultures can help us understand and respect people who don't live like we do.
