Our interpretation of the world plays a great role in determining our behavior.  My experience in culture and education in South Korea where I was born and raised for about 15 years has deeply been stuck in my brain and it greatly affects my behavior even now.  For example, it feels rude for me to talk a lot in front of people who are older than me, and having lots of body gestures feel not ‘right’ to me sometimes based on my culture I grew up.  How I had been interacting with people in Korea greatly shapes my behavior even now in America.
