Note - These respondents believe their culture to be the same as their country of origin/residence.

With this question, we would like to obtain a more accurate description of what you consider your “culture” to be. The country in which a person was born is the most common indicator of culture; however, it is not accurate for everyone. There are many reasons for this. Some countries, such as Belgium and Canada, have more than one distinct culture. Some people did not grow up in the country in which they were born. Other people were born in a country very new to their parents, and were raised in their parents’ culture even though they were born in a different country. Still other people grew up in strong cultures - sometimes associated with religions - that are defined better by family relationships than by country boundaries. Aboriginal peoples of many parts of the world belong to cultures they consider distinct from their country’s culture. Do you identify yourself as a member of a culture other than that of the country in which you were born?
