From a cultural perspective, the sociological aspect of a society contributes to the environment in which these sociological behaviours materialises. These, in turn, became the norm of a society, or some would say, unwritten rules. It can be as basic as, knocking a door before entering someone’s house, or very different from one society to the next, like, in several Eastern cultures, it is expected to leave your shoes outside the house.

Perhaps the most common observations of thse sociological aspect of culture on environment is on the way Western and Easter people approach their daily lives. From the Western point of view, the culture is often casual, with one person calling a stranger by their first name even after they have only met for a day. The work culture of the west also is very casual, with typically the employees are allowed to wear any kind of shirts or dresses, with certain guidelines.

The Eastern culture tends to be protocol-oriented, generally referring to people by their family names. Work culture also tends to be very disciplined, in terms of clothing guidelines, and the boundary between male and female interaction is often emphasised. Respect for elders is always highlighted.

Of course, there are no right or wrong about any of the different culture. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and one could learn a lot from one another. When the time comes when the world can see its people as having only one culture, the best of all cultures would be realised, one that I will certainly welcome.
