1. I believe that religion changes culture. I think that because your culture deter mines the way you do things and how you react towards them. For an example, if it is against your religion to listen to music and entertainment, then your whole culture is without that. In a religion there are rules and regulations for what you can do and cannot do, with that said, those things you do or do not do determine your culture. So therefore, your religion changes your culture.

2. Culture has influenced hu man actions because it determines what they do and how they live their life. For an example, kung fu is really popular in chinese culture. Kung teaches you how to control your actions and only fight when necessary, that affects the actions a lot. Culture also influences human actions because it decides peoples morals on life. For an example, chinese people cherish nature, and when they are little growing up knowing that will affect the way they eat, sleep, and live. And if those people are having kids, it will affect them as well. You don't realize it, but the way people are and how they act is because of their culture.

Culture has changed by discovering new ways of doing things instead of doing them the old and traditional ways like in the past. "Now that China has the new technology and education, they just do not care for the old ways, just as long as the culture is still there"(stine).
