How does culture influence emotion?

Culture influences emotion because it consists of shared attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviors between people. Emotion is impacted by an individual's interactions and influences in their environment, and is strongly affected by culture for that reason. These emotions held by the people within a single culture usually stay true to people under one language and one period of time, but is susceptible to change by other cultures, just like emotion.

Based of the culture, many of the counties stereotypes are created. As an example, I'm Russian and many students in my school ask me, if I drink vodka and dance with bears. This makes me feel upset since people only tend to believe the rumors or stereotypes, without given a thought. My country's culture is far more than just those small details. People would usually focus on negative comments about the culture, before hearing the other side of the story. Overall, I think that we should look at both good side and bad of the culture before leaving rude expressions and scared emotions towards that or those specific cultures.
