Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 24 hours apart:
*Do you agree with anthropologist Ruth Benedict that we are "creatures of our culture" and that our habits, beliefs, and impossibilities are shaped by our culture? If so, how can we break through the limits of our culture?

I agree with anthropologist Ruth Benedict that our habits, beleifs, and impossibilities are shaped by our culture. To break through the limits of our culture we need to remain very open minded and make sure that we do not limit our environment to things that we are comfortable with and used to. By giving other cultures a chance we are able to expand our horizons and expand our place in the world. The only way to expand the limits of our culture is to learn about other cultures. For many people it is important to travel to absorb as much of other cultures as possible.
