Transition into cultural discussion

One culture among the Native Americans, like the Navajo and Lakota, is where they retreat into nature in solitude to seek spiritual guidance in their lives. During this season, they pray and fast while meditating with nature. (Fenelon, 2014). During this period, they transition from adolescence to adulthood while connecting with nature. After returning from the retreat, they rejoin the community while assuming all the adult responsibilities. The session is essential to help them connect with the community and spirituality, which is part of the culture.

The second culture is among the Satere people in Brazil, where the young boys normally transition into adulthood. During the ritual, the young boys (around twelve years) normally wear gloves based on bullet ants. (Botelho & Weigel 2011). This ritual is painful, and the boys suffer intense pain and crying due to stings from the ants. This pain is considered essential to build endurance and resilience when boys are exposed to hardships. After the process, the boys become respectable in society and assume adulthood responsibilities.

There are different types of cultures that are related differently to the values and norms of society. Examples of physical attractions include personal physical appearance, which aligns with facial symmetry and body shape. In contrast, emotional attractions are connected with the feelings of the individuals. They are connected to the values and personality of the individuals. Sexual attraction is related to the intimacy and sexual activity of other people. Different cultures prioritize different attractions for individuals. For example, physical and sexual attraction determines the overall appearance of the individual.
