people which usually consist of their language, religion, music, art, social habit and various other
factors. It is said that each and every person or the community have their own values and culture

My name is Allina David and I am from Romania, a beautiful and attractive country
which have hidden glaciers and also have biggest Gothic church which are some of the most
interesting places in the country. Along with this, there is village now displayed as a museum
and is one of the most attractive point in the country. As I belongs to Romania, my whole family
is living in Romania as my father is working in a Romanian company and my mother is a teacher
in Romanian School. My family includes my father, mother and brother. Their is a huge
Romanian cultural impact on me as initial year of my life spend in Romania. At present I am in a
multinational company which belongs to British where I am working in the marketing
department (Anderson, 2016). As per my culture, it has been said that we are the one who
usually great and meet our family ones and show them respect. It is also in our culture to take
small meals in our breakfast which includes bread, butter, jam, coffee and tea. As a result, I
always prefer something less or minimum quantity of food in my first meal. Along with this, it
has also been seen in my culture that the living standard of individuals is quite low and usually
considered poor. Festivals in our nationality are celebrated with wine which is one of the most
essential element in our celebrations.
