Computers: Computer brings tons and floods of information.
Comments: Culture is the historical, geographical and national basis on which people behave. Value systems are one of the cultural cores. First of all, we must be aware of the fact that there are cultural differences and similarities between Japanese an d other peoples. Those differences and similarities are either visible or invisible, but we often pay too much attention to the "visible" differences and fail to recognize "invisible" differences and similarities. One serious pitfall is we jump to a conc lusion about a person based on a small piece of information, and such conclusions are usually far from real information about that person. Therefore, we always need to try to know more about people with different cultural backgrounds, whether they are As ians or Americans. Another important attitude we need to have when associating people from different cultures is to treat all people as equal as long as they are humans. In other words, we must recognize that all humans are equal far above differences in appearance, customs, economic development and whatever. Another important attitude I oul

Computers: Sometimes scared....... I don't feel too confident with computers.
Comments: Culture is sort of like a big mixture of language, religion, tradition, food, ethnicity, geography and many, many other things. Sometimes I think culture is evident in other places, but personally it's hard to recognize American culture. That may be only because I'm American....

Computers: I feel very comfortable using computers because i study them at school.
Comments: I don't believe there are any easy or simplistic definitions for a word like this just because so many factors contribute to the making of a 'culture'. A "culture" can be defined as an entire nation, a specific region in a country, a single town, one's family, and even individual's have thier own "culture". I think it is most important to remember that the lines that seperate "cultures" are not well defined and one should definitely not view them as barriers between people. Rather, "cultures" exist in relation to each other and in fact depend on one another for thier own meaning.

Computers: Computers are making the world a closer place
Comments: Culture...hmmm.... I guess culture is made up of all the threads that tie a group of people together. Things such as food, customs, values, perspectives on the surrounding world, and even little things like how we cross the street or comb our ha ir define culture. Culture is a very difficult thing to explain and many times this leads to generalizations about groups of people.

Computers: I think that using the computer is really cool and an easy way to access information.
Comments: To me, Culture has many meanings. I think "culture" is something that is part of you and your heritage. For me, I am an American, however I am of many different races. I am Japanese, Chinese, Portugese and Hawaiian. So, I have many different culture backgrounds. Culture is something that makes you who you are and how you are. It is what makes you your own individuality. It is something that one is to be proud of. To me, "culture" is who you are.

Computers: Computers are alright. While I'm not a real computer wizard, I can't imagine life without them.
Comments: Culture is the term we use to describe the traits of our societies. While I was in Europe many people told me that American's have no culture. Such generalizations really offended me. Every society possesses a valid culture (usually a very b road one) and whether it be America's pop culture, the distinct cultures of the European nations, the ancient traditions of east Asian societies, or the "primitive" cultures of many tribal societites.

Computers: Computers are sometimes frusterating for me, but they are a wonderful addition to my life!
Comments: I think culture makes up a person's personality. My culture is a very important part of my life, in that culture includes my ethnic background and culture has also been affected by where I have grown up. My hometown is a very culturally divers e place, where I am able to integrate other cultures to make up who I am.

Computers: It's interesting to use computer for me. But if we don't use it for communication, it's not interesting.
Comments: It's interesting to learn other cultures.And I think to learn other cultures is most important thing. Because if we do, we can understand and communicate each other more. And I think culture is most important for each country. But I think Japan have lost our good culture.Some people in Japan like to copy other cultures without knowing good Japanese country. I think to admire other culture is good thing. But if we don't know ourself's good culture, we'll lost our good culture soon. So the word "culture" mean to me is most important ID as a Japanese to live in international world.

Computers: Computer is wonderful!! Because for all we are foraway, we can comunicate with computer!!
Comments: Culture is very important. I think that Culture is based on each human society, ways of thinking, values and behavior pattern . . etc. We grow to be succeeding to culture from our ancestor unconsciously. So we can not easy change our cultu re. Because it is involved in belief. But the other side, new culture is made too. Young always make new culture. But if that is not succeed to next generation, it is not culture. it is only fusion.

Comments: There are diffrent many cultures in the world. We act based on culture. I think culture isn't to compared which is better. Because culure is universal thing. Sometimes people conflict on another people have different culture, because of differe nt culture and various value. In our country,one thing is good, but in another country,it is bad. But laughing is common behavier in around the world. Important thing is that we have to realize diffrent culture and various value. And we have to respect th em. If you can do it, we will be happy with around the world people. I wish c.

Computers: Computers are very useful
Comments: Zen,Sumurai,Judo and Sumo are famous for Japanese culture,but I don't like them. They are very old. On the other hand,Japanese cultures at the present time are crowded train,inactive students and new words young people used. The culture of ancie nts of the whole World was highly advanced. I think that it is the same as wisdom. Wisdom to live is very great. I admire it very much,but I think that Japanese culture at the present time is very funny.

Computers: Computer is useful for human. Because we can know many information around the world and communicate with each other. It may help to bring so many countries closer to each other.
Comments: Japanese culture is different from other countries. And each country cultures are also different from other countries. I think culture have two means. One is traditional culture, another is how to think. Speaking of culture, almost Japanese imag ine the former. Because the fine art of modern Japan are similar to those of many western countries. However, Japanese classical works of art are unique in the philosophy, methods, and materials used in their creation.
