Another form of technology that plays a big role in my life is large companies like Amazon. Big companies like this make people's everyday lives easier. It's great being able to order whatever you want just by tapping on a screen. However, large corporations like this cause other small businesses to struggle to stay alive.

Culture can come from many different sources. It makes us who we are. Culture can come from nationality, ethnicity, race, generation, religion, and so much more.

My nationality is a big part of my culture. Culture in the United States can include holidays, sports, art, food, and more. In the U.S., we celebrate holidays like Independence Day, Memorial Day, President's Day and Thanksgiving. Many popular sports around the world also originated in the U.S.. Baseball, basketball, volleyball, and american football are all examples of this.

According to Cross-cultural Gen Z, “Our research indicates that a majority of Gen Z will define their cultural identity in fundamentally different ways from their predecessors. By embracing and balancing multiple cultures, they are moving their cultural identity beyond simple definitions of race and ethnicity. How marketers and brands use culture to connect with this truly multicultural generation will require fundamentally different thinking.”
