What factors of your native culture have informed your religious world view? Explain the impact of these factors??
Th
e phrase native culture is something that is complex to me unlike the others around me. This idea is difficult to me because I was raised in two different and contradicting cultures; the Americas and Korea. When I was raised in two different cultures I had a hard time being comfortable every time my environment changed. Therefore, I would consider my native culture to be Korean American, where both the Korean and American culture would be mixed. First of all Korean culture main beliefs are upon Confucianism, where respecting elders and others is the core belief. On the other hand the American culture is all about freedom. These two main beliefs would impact my religious views on not only Christianity but also all the different religion.

different types of religion out there in the world. From my Korean culture I was taught not to show disrespect against something I would not be familiar about directly. Therefore, although I might not believe in someone else's beliefs I would never be able to say that their belief is something that is false because of culture I was raised and taught. Also from my American beliefs even if I would not believe the other cultures I would let them have their own freedom of religion. This freedom would support my respect toward others. So these two different beliefs in culture would correspond with each other to help me understand my viewpoints on religion.
