Learning Target Answer I can explain how culture (literature, language, arts, customs, and beliefs) defines my chosen group in the world today and how this group shows a unique perspective. • The culture of each city defines them because it shows who they are, what they believe in, what they like, and more information that is only about them. • They show a unique perspective because it tells people that one city is different from other city’s cultures, and how they are only them, and not copied from others.
How or Why Question • How does the culture make these 3 cities stand out from each other? • It shows that the cities are not the same as any other cities or countries. It just shows that they are unique, and are different from other places.
