Forces of Culture

1)
Some of the forces that shape Singapore's culture would be Language, Food and Multi-Racialism.
Singapore is a multi-racial country, where people of many different races and religions live and work together.
The language of Singapore became very special because of the multi-racialism where the different languages, mainly Mandarin, Malay language and Indian language, are used by the locals freely, for example, a Malay stallholder may just ask her customers whether they want to makan(eat in Malay language) or dabao(take away in Mandarin). This mixed language is also known as "Singlish"(Singapore English), with the "Lah", "Leh", "Horh" used within conversations as well.
There is a wide variety of food available in Singapore such as, Char Kuay Teow(Chinese food), Roti Prata(Malay food), Curry in cuisines which originated from India, and many other traditional foods.

With the understanding of what these forces are, we are able to understand China's culture better. Although China is not a multi-racial country, but besides Mandarin, there are many other dialects used within the many different provinces in China as well. This is one of the forces that shape China's culture. When we know what the forces are, we are able to investigate straight into the forces and combine the forces together, and have a better knowledge on what China's culture is about as a whole.
