What is Culture? What is my Culture?

Culture - the act of developing the intellectual and moral faculties especially by education (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/culture)

Here is how I see American culture: diverse, unrestrained, and opinionated. I see American culture as diverse in a few different ways. In the United States, there has always been a range of ethnicities, religions, personalities, and just people originating from all over the world who have come here for the freedom they have heard about. The culture is unrestrained, or free, as it is recognized as a country that gives the people freedom of expression where everyone can express themselves. Finally, I see the culture as opinionated, because with freedom of expression, people take that to the next level and feel the need to let everyone know what they believe and try to spread it around.

I guess I would consider my experience at camp in northern California as a "culture shock". This was because, nowadays everyone's lives revolve around their phones and technology. For two weeks, in basically the middle of no where, with people that only live a couple of hours away from me, my mind was blown by the connections I made and experiences I had. With everyone being able to focus purely on the people at camp, real relationships came out of it. I was so unbelievably grateful for this experience because those are some of my best friends today, but glad to have technology back so I can keep in touch with them!
