Recently I've been thinking about this question, and my answer is yes.
Here is how I see it.
Each person has a favourite and dislike. Everybody knows something well and bad. We believes in something and some people just don't. There is defenitely a culture in every single person.
I found this because my grandpa passed away 3 months ago and I was maybe I am really sad, I decided not to eat meat for 100 days to take less lifes, which I think is better to the late. My family don't understand, my friends either. They pushed me to eat meat but I just ignored them. I consider that as my last thing I can do for my beloved grandpa. This is just what I do. If I believe in it, and you can't see it making sense, just leave me alone!
I think everyone has been in this kind of situation. Don't you think that we just have a culture which sometimes people around us can understand and sometimes they just can't?

I always believed this -- that we all have our own culture, just like many peoples, areas, people of various faiths. It's like being vegetables in a gian pot of stew, we all share the space, but we all hold our own unique flavors.
Meaning, even in the same area, same faith, same people, we have our own unique piece of culture...just as important as what we usually think of when we say "culture".
It's why I've always strove to learn more about people, how they think, why they live the way they live. Their stories, their thoughts, their feelings, their beliefs.
(Besides the fact that I love learning, that is.)
Whether anyone else understands or not, that doesn't make it any less special or good.

Yes, I think so. I think it is just like everyone has their own style, their own way to deal with lots of stuff.

I think everyone does have a life, and apart from that to make that life go on we make we have our own culutures even at home just as every country has,but they are way much different from that of country's culture.As we do have culuture normal which is we pray every morning and evening and that has to be followed by everyone till ages.Similar to these there are many other too.

Yeah, personal culture is quite different from country's culture. But on some level, I just think individuals have too many different things to call it just a character or habit or belief. Then what is a big name for those things? Culture was the first word came into my mind.

A very interesting topic. In the sense that we are each unique in our style and feelings, in our beliefs and personal moral code, yes, I very much think there is such a thing as what I will "personal culture."

Yes.I think so.There are many people have many culture.I think that culture you mean here about character or habit,are'nt you?.There is no problem that we have a culture as along as not annoy the people around us.Because it's made a problem if your culture adverse qunsequences for other people.

everybody must realize that every individual on this earth has the right to his own decision and culture as you said it leaving him to the said right and culture the way he thinks he should do. relativity that is ... not to such extreme that can lead to fatal end. if it does not hurt anybody why, let him be. out of concern? then just remind him, commend and then comment not to criticize but just to show your concern. how bizarre they might think you're doing is that is your way of giving respect to your loved one so be it right? as long as it won't harm you nor others especially the ones you still have with you, be it. but respect them too, their concern, and if irritated, be patient, because it is no ordinary thing you're doing remember?

Everyone of up has its own and unique trademark in terms of culture and traditions practiced. When we say culture or tradition it doesnt just tell us the practices that we can cater to others. Of course there are negative and unwanted habits and it is natural as time passes by and we cant blame our ancestors for those. What we can do is CHANGE there and yet is possible.

I share in your grief. It is really hard to immediately accept the loss of somebody you love and respect. You know, you are right in your belief that everyone of us has his own individual culture. It is an acquired ability of an individual to recognize and appreciate generally accepted aesthetic and intellectual excellence. Your grandpa must have been a stickler of principles too. You want to emulate your grandpa's cultural excellence? Go ahead! Respect and understanding from the people around you will come later.
