Man upsets the balance of nature both deliberately and unintentionally. The clearing of forests for farmland or urban expansion is an example of deliberate changes made to the earth. And the erosion caused by the unimpeded flow of water is an example of unintentional change. Imprinting is theacquisition of information through our speech and behavior. Imprinting is how we transfer our culture to others, especially our children.
Parents begin imprinting their culture on their children as soon as they are born.
Children learn by watching other people, especially their parents, and then using the behavior that they see as a model for their own. Imprinting can occur remarkably fast for children. Acquiring a new language can occur in a matter of months for children of a certain age. A cultural bag may be seen as providing appropriate responses based on one's culture. A cultural bag helps us make decisions and influences how we will react to certain situations.
