The position that a person has in the world tends to shape most of the things in their life especially when it comes to the way that we think about identity, society, and culture.  This is because where we are in a world that depends on the information available to us or how fast we necessarily get that information.  It also effects how we view and interpret this information.  However, on a scale even smaller than the world is one within the individual country that we live in.  Within our own country the way we think about identity, society, and culture varies.  This is because of the stereotypes that people hear and believe in.  These stereotypes cause people to assume they know about a certain culture or society, when they do not know the real facts.  By only viewing information from one position in the world we get a very narrow view that does not necessarily take into account all the facts or information surrounding particular events.  For instance, people who are brought up in a world with all of their needs provided tend to view the world as a good place but have the tendency to take for granted the position they have in the world.  However, those people who are brought up in families that struggle to live day to day have a tendency to be more negative about the world around them but tend to value and protect all of their possessions.
