Culture Evolving

I have never really thought about diffrent cultures that much related to the way things are marketed. The movie Bend it Like Beckham has really opened my eyes to the way cultures are evolving. In the movie Jess is being brought up in a traditional way but society has shown her that she can still have her cultural background but also do things that are out of that norm such as play soccer.

I feel I can relate to Jess in the way that she is doing something "untraditional".  I have always worked in positions that were untraditional for a woman, starting with becoming a certified welder. Lucky for me though I always had family support, but I come from a diffrent cultural background where women can do just as much as men. I was never forced to learn to cook, learn how to sew, or any of that traditional "women's work".  It was perfectly ok to want to be out in the shop with the boys then in the kitchen with the girls.
