Answer 1

Culture identity is defined as the feeling or an identification of the belongingness to a particular group. Culture identity is the part of a person's sel-realization and self-conception is majorly associated to the ethnicity, religion, nationality and social class or standard groups.

Culture identity is associated with identification of the individual and providing a diverse identity to all but simultaneously it is an aspect that creates a diverse outlook for different group of cultures presented in the world. Cultural identity is one of the frames of the communication theory of identity that has four aspects and divided the group of people as per their behaviour, communication, language, religion, belief and values as per their culture.

I define my culture identity to be Hispanic, hispanic culture is identified as the spanish or spanish speaking groups residing in America. Hispanic group is clealry determined by the lnaguage the individual speaks. This is irrespective of their religion, values or ethnicity. A hispanic can be originating from any part of the nation but speaks spanish as thei main language.

I have studied that during colonization the parts of Spanish empire covered the South American states and starts to dwell their and became native amwericans today. The term hispanic is used where the individual has culture, language and people with hisitoric links to Spain. Hispanic culture is a set of values, language, belief and ar form. I found that my ancestors and my parents speak spanish and value and beleive in the forms and cultural aspects of Spanish community. Therefore, this made me realize that i belong to a hispanic culture and that is my culture identity.

Having a self-relaization for the culture identity is mainly infleunced through ancestoral culture identity, parental knowledge, and own customs and values preferences.
