In my childhood I had alot of problems with the german culture, but I have come to appreciate many traits of it over time.
The best aspects of my culture are pride/honor, order and non-materialism. There are also a ton of downsides, that I dont want to list so I stay positive.
Culture is also knowledge passed along from our ancestors. We should not blindly accept it, but it is not necessarily evil.
Is it culture still if you don't blindly accept it? If you investigate and choose the parts you want?
How I see it is there is lots of good in some of the actions a culture may perform but there is lots of bad also. Once you start actively separating the two, it becomes a culture of change and environmental sensitivity.
When something that works today, doesn't work as well tomorrow, it is adjusted or replaced. This is not the normal behaviour of a culture that repeats until breakage.
If you know what I mean.
