"Creatures of our Culture"

I do agree with Benedict's "creatures of our culture" our shaped by our culture. Think about how you grew up. Your parents taught you everything they know, corrected what they did wrong, and learned new things themselves while trying to force the good habits on you. Whether you are Hispanic, English, Dominican, etc; you take in everything you see around you, no matter where you're from. If you go and visit Mexico or Italy it is nearly impossible to go there and only use what you know in your culture, therefore you adapt to the languages and visual aids you see and hear in order to get by. Think of it as a exchange student who is staying at your house for a month: They come in with only their knowledge from where they are from along with maybe a tiny bit of the American culture as well. But they eat our foods, try and communicate with our language, act as we are acting and follow in our footsteps. And we would do the same if we went somewhere outside the U.S.
