Final Reflection

1. The aspects that make up culture are food, traditions, music, religions, community, clothing, and most importantly beliefs, history and way of life. Culture builds a community in many ways, the way they celebrate brings everyone together, and the things in common they share makes a community feel like family.

2. My understanding of doukhobors is that they were very peaceful people that were treated the wrong way. They were bruitily abused and children were taken away to go to school in New Denver, they only got to see their parents every two weeks. Doukhobors were famous for their delicous food such as borchst and lapsha, which was always served  at funerals. Singing, praying, eating and even bathing together were normal things for the doukhobors.The doukhobor people had very little privacy and thats what brought them so close as a community. They were very creative with their entertainment, and were hard working people who did not believe in war.

3.It is very imprtant to learn about culture because it teaches us about the types of people that have lived or still remain on this earth. Say if I were a tourist, it would sure help out to know about the culture of the place I was visiting. If you are aware of their culture you would also be aware of the types of food you'd be eating, sights you'd see, and so on. The only thing I have in common with the doukhobors is that on special occasions or when I go camping we sit around a fire,eat and sometimes even sing!
