Cultural Influences on family dynamics and present relationships
As accordance to my study I came to decipher that culture is very influential and above all a definitive factor in people lives. There are certain aspects of human behavior that are directly influenced by culture, and not by either peer pressure or trending behaviors. One of the traits that were quite evident was religion, whereby we come to realize that it was a direct form of influence from a particular culture (Corey et al., 2015).
The subject in question was a Jehovah Witness member, a religious connotation she chose to follow as her culture’s setting. In this kind of scenario, the woman is in this denomination because; her cultural tenets persuade her to be such an individual. From that perspective, we can as well gather information that the same culture, has brought about some attributes of goodwill and high moral standards (Corey et al., 2015).
Furthermore, other people who believe that families that don’t have a culture are a lost family. For me, I feel that kind of a statement is entirely true because; each and every one of us requires a template from which we can discern what is good and what is wrong. People fail to understand that there are certain aspects of culture that we adopt either directly or indirectly. For instance, the way a mother treats a visitor slowly shows on her children who get it by just doing the same as the mother or even the father.

People end up treating one another in ways that are right or wrong because of a particular behavior they were brought up within the due process (Diller, 2015). 
There are so many relationships that have grown even stronger because of airtight and genuine cultural values. However, most people are known to associate cultures with countries or states, but they forget that for culture to persevere it has start from the smallest unit, and that is a family. Additionally, this is the subset that rears and makes attributes that raise boys in fathers and girls into mothers.
It is also of importance to acknowledge that not everyone in a family set-up finds it easy to follow the cultural tenets and values. There are others even within our family patterns that deviate from the moral aspect of our culture. They brew their socio-cultural properties that lead poor judgments and erosion goodwill. In the community, we find thieves and other ill-fitted individuals that are our brothers and sisters who saw another world that we did not (Diller, 2015).
Similarly, culture’s influence in family dynamics to me has been exemplary because it is a genuine way towards decision making. Professionally, regarding cues like ethics, culture is the number ingredient in establishing a true human being. To be successful, one we must know that this world is made up of different people with different ideologies of things and therefore, we should respect each other’s opinions. There is nothing as good as treating one another with total kindness and humility to prosper more in the life we are living (Diller, 2015). 
Conclusion
If it was not for culture the world we are living in will be so jumbled and confusing that no one would be happy. It is up to us to have the heart to appreciate one’s culture and assimilate traits that will enable us to live in a community full of love and harmony.
