Culture

What is Culture. If I were to follow the definition given to me when I took sociology class at Uni, it would meant that a certain behavior and way of living of a community of people.

If you were to read the book , Tuesdays with Morrie, you will come across a section where he talks about culture. How morrie always tells the author, not to conform to culture. Dont' give in to culture. The culture that tells you, buy this and you will be better, use this and you'll be better. Interesting aint it?

Well, in sociology term , we will call these people deviant..... That got me thinking, in a way its good not to just follow a culture or a way of living. But going against it , isn't going to be easy. It will darn tiring if you ask me.

Like me, I don't gossip at work much. My moto is do work and then cut the crap and bullshit and finish and then be done with it. Some people get offended. like this to create this culture.. or rather the M culture where they just gossip, lepak wait for time to pass then pulang rumah. But after awhile hor.. you also get tired.

I dont' know, being deviant can be good but tiring. But then again, it takes guts to be a deviant to a certain culture.

I think alot, maybe thats why I like courses like Psychology, sociology, philosophy, organization behavior.. hmmm... maybe i should go into research :P
