Why I'm taking cultural studies?

The reason why I'm taking cultural studies is because I have to take it to graduate. But, the reason I am excited to take this class is because I am from a small town near Ft. Wayne, IN and I have not really seen any culture differences until I moved to Chicago. I love how different people act and how people change, just because of where they live.
Culture is something I never was taught in high school, and I never really got to see the differences between cultures in real life, but I am eager to learn about it this trimester. I feel that learning about the differences between cultures is an important way not to become ignorant in the way I look at other societies cultures.
The thing that most interests me in culture is the fact that people and the way they act can change so much just because of the way they were brought up. I believe that the definition of culture is the differences between societies.
