Metaphors

These are some metaphors used when talking about culture:

1. Culture is a backpack. It is hard to carry but it provides necessary things.
2. Culture is a butterfly. It is a fragile thing of great beauty.
3. Culture is a pair of handcuffs. It takes away your freedom and traps you.
4. Culture is a pair of glasses. It helps you to see the world clearly.
5. Culture is water. It can keep you alive or kill you.
6. Culture is a mask. It hides a person’s true identity.

And we have come up with two new metaphors:

· Culture is a pomegranate. The different beliefs mixted together woult be the seeds of culture.

· Culture is a the appartment you decide to leave in. You choose the one which makes you feel more comfortable, lets you be yourself and gives you freedom.
