My Culturally Diverse Neighborhood

The cultural beliefs and decisions in my neighborhood vary from place to place. The cultural beliefs in my neighborhod have changed over time. The way they feel about transportation, goods, jobs, services, food, clothing, family, education, religion, government, art, dance, music, expresions, climate, resources, games, toys, arts, media, holidays, values, customs, and morals have changed. Their expectations have lowered a large amout and they care less about the one life they have to live. Education has gone down hill on their list of importance. People in my neighborhood treat it like they dont need it to live. Family, religion, music, dance, holidays, and customs are what they care about most. The cultural diversity in my neighborhood is very limited. Groups that share social characteristics have common cultural standards. My neighborhood is very ethnocentric, they judge others in terms of their own cultural standards. They cant imagin others living any other way and dont understand their beliefs compared to their own. The values and belief thats they feel are superior to the values and belief of someone with different prefernces. If other cultures moved into a neighborhood with high ethnocentrism they would need to have alot of cultural universal traits to live together.
