Why is the Concept of Culture Important

When you move in a new environment that you know nothing about you really feel helpless. It is hard to know where to start. Because there is a very big difference between getting in a country and entering a country. for entering a country has much to do with functioning in a new system.
A culture is country, culture is an environment full of elements that sustains all lives in it. Cultures are created by traditions and laws that regulates communities .so cultures are systems. if you are lucky to be exposed to a new culture or new ways of functioning and beliefs without information depending on where you come from, the first reaction you get to the differences is being protective . 

When you move to a new culture you really become like a baby. you start to learn everything, everything look new to your eyes, you start life from making relationships, learning food ,language , making sense of everything , places , work, Perception  etc..

We wondered how can people be allowed to start a life in the USA without getting basic information about the laws that regulate the community that they are entering and expect to be successful?

The less information you have about a community that you enter the harder to make sustainable relationships and less value you can add to their life. and the more dangerous you can seem to that community because of stereotypes.  Integration is a process but the quicker and easier you can get the information the easier to relate to others and quicker you can add value to the new community.

"When I saw how immigrant isolates themselves to Americans , I felt how lucky I was to find himself in an American family that exposed me to the American culture.  My friend David Marshal and Whitley Marshal exposed and guided me in everything, I got oriented by them for they new my culture and told me what to do and what to don't.  says Patrick Kiruhura 

To enter a new culture to become a valuable member you need to go in a such process:
- Getting right information from the local people
- Getting a good understanding by being exposed on the new culture in guidance of the local people
- Application of the new culture or experience in the local community guided by local people
