* Example: Why do people pick up slang, clothing styles, or interests from their social circles? | |||
=== '''2. Cultural Adaptation''' === | |||
* Discuss how people absorb cultural norms, language, and behaviors when moving to a new country or community. | |||
* Example: What happens when someone moves from a small town to a big city? | |||
=== '''3. Family Dynamics''' === | |||
* Examine how family members shape each other’s behaviors and attitudes over time. | |||
* Example: Why do siblings or children often mimic their parents’ habits or beliefs? | |||
=== '''4. Workplace Culture''' === | |||
* Investigate how people adapt to company values, work habits, or leadership styles in professional environments. | |||
* Example: How do new employees adjust to the pace of a fast-moving workplace? | |||
=== '''5. Social Media and Trends''' === | |||

=== '''6. Positive and Negative Habits''' === | |||
