1) **Culture vs Instinct: **

- **Explanation: ** Culture is like a big collection of shared ideas and ways of

doing things in a group of people. Instinct is more like automatic, natural reactions
we're born with.

- **Example:** If you see a delicious cake but it's not polite to eat it with your
hands in your culture, you'll use a fork. That's because culture helps us decide how to
act.

- **Our Group's Perspective:** We agree that culture is very important in how

people behave. It helps us understand what's expected in different situations. Instincts
are important too, but culture helps us use them in the right way.

2) **Genetics and Experience: **

- **Explanation:** Genetics is like the special instructions we get from our parents
that affect how we look and sometimes how we act. Experience is what we learn and
go through in life.

- **Example: ** If your parents love music, you might have a natural talent for it
because of genetics. But, with practice and learning (experience), you can become
really good at playing an instrument.
