Lifestyle and culture are two very important conditions integral to the well being, good health, and happiness of all. Many cultures have certain food groups that are known to be most beneficial to the growth, health, and longevity of we the people, and with a combined educational and medical program people living under these conditions generally do much better than in other parts of the world where such requirements are non-exsistant.\n\nI believe doctors are quite sensitive when it comes to lifestyle issues, particular lifestyle changes culture to culture, or simply topographically. In closing it's important to remember that no matter what resources and qualities are available to all, one has to take the initiative to act upon their own personal requirements and conditional factors to maximize a standardized outcome.

A little of both.  Nuture from environment and exposure to culture.  Nature from the chemical balances in the brain, natural and unnatural.

culture is passed on from generation to generation,you will treat your kids the same way your parents treated you,the same way your grand parents treated your parents unless external forces such as education,etc modify that indigenous knowledge.

Depends on how you define "Hip Hop". As a culture, there are positive and negative aspects, as with all cultures. As music alone, any answer is subjective and would be subject to interpretation by each individual's experience.  Hip hop music may be "uplifting" to some, yet not others.

Culture and society play a far more important role in shaping our personalities than genetics.\n\nLook at the change in women in the West over the last hundred years, from submissive, downtrodden chattel to emancipated, skilled leaders.  DNA wasn't responsible for that.

I'd agree that material factors probably play a greater role, but cultural factors could be important.  There are, for instance, certain religious sects that don't allow particluar medical treatments (e.g. blood transfusions).  I'd suggest that you go to:\nwww.findarticles.com\nand enter a search such as: health care and social class.  Another search might be health care and cultural\n\nWhen I tried these searches I came up with numerous articles, some of which looked like they might be useful to you. Good luck.

Beliefs and practices affect every aspect of civilization.  They help to develop government, individualize religion, form habits, culture, architecture.  Beliefs and practices are probably the most fundamental aspects of any civilization.

Its a matter of culture on the first place.  Its everywhere- the environment and all the factors combined.  Its the society and how the society thinks. the mindsets of people, the influences, the method of upbringing a child, family social status (both parents have to work), etc.  I think the media is a factor but not as much as the social culture.  Religion- you have a point for the social behavior of americans requires them to work and work - and in many cases time for those things that truly matter are neglected to earn money.  I think understanding and controlling these things must begin at home for the foundation of one's personality (as I believe) begins in the basic unit of the society - the family and how they incorporate God in their lives.

American.  Some of the stuff in feng shui is just plain common sense, like not having clutter around or not having water leaks in your house.  How space is arranged does make a difference in how people feel in the space.  Think basement versus mountaintop.  There is no harm in it.  Controlling one's space is one aspect of controlling one's life.  If ur mum is overly controlling with trying to make you do it, try to get just your room or closet exempted.

disadvantages are raised from cultural differences which might be a plus point sometimes but its negative too.

The broadening of both food and cultural awareness. If you look at the Crusades, when Europeans were being exposed to many spices for the first time, and then look at how diets changed when they brought those spices back with them, it correlates to how they brought knowledge back with them.

Supplements are not really the answer; a lifestyle change is likely to have a greater beneficial effect.\nLook here (especially the second reference):

In the United States, our consumer culture and focus on individuality rather than family and community has caused families to become spread out and less connected--both physically and emotionally.  I lived in rural Germany for several years, and I noticed, for example, that grandparents don't go to nursing homes; they move in with their children and help with the grandchildren.  Thus, they often eliminate the need for both nursing homes and child care facilities, and they have a close and cohesive family.  This can be perceived as either positive or negative, though, depending on your value system.  Historically, the American value system has emphasized the individual over the group.

Off and on about four hours. I think our culture has become lazy because we require everything instantly, internet discussions, coffee, quick fixes to our problems.  Society in North America has no time for taking it slow, thinking it out or having patience. We have become addicted to being busy and wanting it right now.

I don't think it is ethnicity that causes us to percieve another culture as being lazy or "lazier."  A lot of what we perceive has to do with the cultural differences created by geography and climate.  People who live in extreme climates will have cultures very different from our own.  An example would be cultures where people take afternoon naps during the hottest part of the day.  I would think technology and drug abuse would cause laziness or rather a lack of motivation compared to people in say, my grandparents or great-grandparents generations.  People didn't have the luxury of laziness then.  If they didn't work - they often wouldn't have shelter or food.

We must remember that societies are seen as living organisms, that is why they are described as being either healthy or unhealthy. Culture is necessary for the maintenance/ existence of a society as cultural practices define the group or community. Ultimately, certain beliefs and the symbolic significance that are passed down through certain practices help define reality. A culture can therefore make sense for the individual of the world around them. With culture therefore comes a sense of identity and with this sense of identity, comes a sense of purpose for the individual. This is why people who question their belief systems are those who question their purpose and the meaning of life.

Nationality means what country you come from.  Culture means the way you live and act.
