Shared knowledge

Many cultures have traditions that each family made of them follow
or adapt, and in some cases, create. Mainly, we could say that the
traditions we have, have been gotten from our families and our
society, but the differences between those make unique each one.

Here in Peru, specifically in my family is a tradition every week that

when my father comes to home, so early we have to go to buy fish in
the Fishing Terminal, and other resources which we need to the
breakfast and the lunch. In those moments my parents could teach to
my brother and me how the vegetables and fruits, and also the fish,
have to be to consider them of quality. We learn about the
characteristics of color, the smell, the kind of texture, and some key
points such as look the fish's gills and touch the stomach of it. Making
a comparison with other culture, also the families from India try to
teach generation by generation their knowledge about food, but in a
deeper way. The families own many secrets about food, gingerbread
and spice mixes, like something so important and signature of them.

Besides that, to me, also a tradition in my family is when my father,

and something my mothers, start to count next to the lunch to my
brother and me some about their experiences, such as when they were
young, or maybe their first work and the 'lucky moments of the life'.
Aymara culture also has a similar tradition, that's because of they at
nights in little groups start to share their stories, mainly the old
people, whom they consider like the most knowledgeable.

Therefore, there are different cultures that enrich the

multiculturalism of the world, making each family diverse. As well, I
could say that the traditions of my family and other cultures are
important to share their knowledge, and essential to follow their
worldview.
