Although all parents grow up within one or more cultures, culture is modified as parents make individual and specific choices about how to raise their children. 

 

For example, some parents may decide to raise their children within a specific religious tradition, whereas others may not. 

 

Some parents may insist that their children use the manners and social skills of their traditional culture, whereas others may encourage their children to adopt the social skills of the mainstream society in which they live.
