Culture and personality in Anthropology:

1. Anthropology: the academic study of humanity. It has origins in the humanities, the natural science, behavior, development of humans, and the social science.

2.Movement:it's like many periods that you move by it, to discover national cultures and personality, which represent many mode characters'.

3.Socailization: It’s the origin that children brought up; they find the care, the help that they need it for their behaviors, thoughts and culture values.

4.

Arab country:

In Arab country we find that childrearing depend on our religion, because it have all the plans and the ways to teach your children how to live healthy, open mind and peacefully. Add to that the culture effect in our children thought and behavior.

Europe country:

In West Country child rearing affect on the traditional habits and the type of the religion, there is a lot of company that for child care which help and support them.

5. I'm absolutely agreed, because all humans when they born are the same, they dont  know anything then they starts to discover the world after all it start to affect their thoughts and behaviors. The most affective thing is their culture and the society that they have been born and lived in it because they didn’t know any another society or choose one to live in it.

6.Our culture is made of elder people who lived here before us, so it's depending in their thought, behaviors and their way to fix the problems. All the generation takes this culture and learns the traditional habits until it comes to our generation, so for sure it will effect in our personality. The culture is the basic of our personality, because it's our birth culture.

For example: from our culture it's known that we treat our visitor very well, so generous become part of our personality.
