CEVAP:

While a culture shapes the consciousness forms of its members, its members can also influence the culture itself. At this point, attention should be paid to these two extreme views. First, people are not fully shaped by their culture. The assumption that the culture is not open to internal and external influences, is a consistent and unchangeable whole, and that individuals are passive and not critical, lead to the danger of cultural determinism. Second is the belief that culture is insignificant and ineffective; and the individuals are transcendent beings that are never affected by the culture in which they are involved. People can critically approach the cultures they are in and they can go out of it in different ways, but whether they are aware of it or not, they are largely shaped by their cultures. For this reason, there is also a danger of being thrown into a position that neglects the influence of culture and its power while avoiding cultural determinism.
