Ways of taking care of basic needs in life such as eating, dressing, finding s               r, marrying, and dealing with death #v           y from culture to culture. We find the ways of our own culture very natural and feel that our way is the only right way to do things. We may find c                  ms in other cultures funny, d                    g, or shocking. However, they are neither right nor wrong. They are simply different from ours.
