In anthropology, there's this idea of looking at things we know well in a new light, and looking at things that seem strange to us as if they were normal. This helps us understand how our culture affects the way we see the world. As someone from a lively ethnic group, my cultural background has shaped my views on things like relationships, family, and society in two main ways.

Waiting Until Marriage for Sex.
In my culture, it's really important to wait until marriage to have sex. This comes from our religion and traditions, which teach us about purity, commitment, and how special marriage is. Since I was young, I've been taught to see this as a way to show integrity and respect for my family. While it feels natural to me, I know it might seem strange to people from different cultures. I think about this belief a lot and talk about it with others to understand how it affects my relationships and what society expects of me.

The Rule of the Firstborn Getting Married First.
In my culture, there's this rule that the oldest child has to get married before their younger siblings. This shows how important family history and reputation are to us. It also affects things like who gets what when parents pass away and how people see us in our community. Even though it's normal for me, I know it might seem strange to others. I think about it and talk about it with others to understand how it affects my freedom to choose who I marry and my responsibilities to my family.

In conclusion,these two cultural beliefs shape the way I see the world. They remind me that everyone's perspective is different because of their culture. By thinking about what's normal for me and what's strange to others, I learn more about myself and other people, which helps me respect and understand them better in our global society.
