Culture to me means some customs, beliefs, or tradition that people believe or follow. What goes into making a culture is • what people do • what people think An example of a conflict that cultures have struggled with in the past that remain relavent today would be what Cesar Chavez faught for. He faught for civil rights of farmers to improve the treatment, pay and the working conditions for farmers. He raised the standards for farmers but they still deal with the same problem to this day. Farmers work long hours, outside in the heat. This remains relavent today. Cesar changed the culture for farming, but a lot of change still needs to happen.
