In class we have been going over culture and how it each society has its own different and specific cultural values. We've learned that somethings that would be unusal or strange to us can be considered normal to someone else's culture or vice versa. Like in the film we watched in class God Grew Tired of Us  we saw the Sudanese me talk about how if they were seen cooking or doing anything feminine in nature that they would be laughed at or looked down upon within the community. On the other hand, here in America it is normal to see a male chef or main care giver for their respective family. Like, I grew up in an all male household, minus my mother, and both of my parents worked so my brothers and I had to learn how to make food for ourselves and each other whilst our parents are woking. Also in the film we saw all the Sudanese wearing non name clothes and eating whatever they grew or hunted. However, in America we would never see this kind of behavior. The capitalistic society that we have developed in our country has made us in to a society that needs to have the latest and greatest product and made us a very material driven country as a whole.
