Geography exercises a more profound influence than just affecting the sort of jacket you buy.: Indeed, geography (broadly defined here to include climate, topography, flora, fauna and microbiology) has influenced history, technology, economics, our social institutions and yes, our way of thinking., Geographical influences manifest themselves in our deepest cultural values, developed through the millennia., Family forms and functions vary substantially around the world, even around the country. : Consider the Dutch executive who lives with his mother, wife and kids in Maastricht in a house that his family has owned for the last 300 years., Then there's the common practice of the high-income folks in Cairo buying an apartment house and filling it up with the extended family — grandparents, married siblings, cousins and kids., Or how about the Japanese mother caring for her two children pretty much by herself, often sleeping with them at night, While her husband catches sleep during his four-hour commute., Culture is dynamic in nature; it is a living process.: But the fact that cultural change is constant seems paradoxical, because another important attribute of culture is that it is conservative and resists change., There are a variety of ways societies change. Some have change thrust on them by war or by natural disaster. , One view is that culture is the accumulation of a series of the best solutions to problems faced in common by members of a given society. , More commonly, change is a result of societies seeking ways to solve the challenges and problems they face.,
