Cultural Identity-Sue!

It is very difficult to explain what cultural identity is. When I read “They’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught”, it reminded me of my situation. I am supposed to study and understand about cultural identity more than other students, because I have an American husband and family and Korean family. In the near future, we may have a baby. She or He! Actually I’d like to have a daughter, so I want to say ‘She’. She will be half Korean and half American. As she gets older, she may be confused of her appearance and situation. She has to live in both countries America and Korea. If she wants to accept only American culture, what can I do? In order for her to understand our cultural identity, I should understand my own cultural identity exactly. I’ll teach her Korean custom like how to bow to elder people at holiday, how to use chopsticks, how to speak Korean language and how respect elder people. I’ll also teach her American custom like how to greet pleasantly, how to use a fork and how to speak English. She can talk to Korean family and American family and work both countries. I hope that she keeps her cultural identities as Korean and American and not lose her originality.
