geographic location of a nation influences on a progress of a culture, way of life and nation itself. i want to tell about influence of geographic location on a development of culture of kazakh nation. territory of kazakhstan since ancient times was covered by steppes. it affected on life mode of a nation. people couldn’t occupy themselves with agriculture and that is why they occupied themselves with cattle-breading. big number of cattle didn’t let people to stay at one place. that is why they had to move from one pasture to another in order provide cattle.

peculiarities of geographic location influenced not only on life mode but on a whole culture. clothes, food, games were closely connected with animals they reared. they ate milk and meat of cattle. hear of cattle served as clothes, also people maid different thing from hair such as carpet and etc. games were closely connected with animals. for example, kys kuu, or run down a bride. rules were simple, suitor was to run down and kiss the bride riding on horse. if he couldn’t do it bride was to pursue and lash him.

lifestyle also influenced on houses of nomads. as they couldn’t live on one place for a long time they couldn’t built houses. they had portable houses or yurts. it is easily taken apart (it is said that a woman can do it in half an hour) and carried by horses and camels. the yurt consists of three main elements: an extensible trellis base (the kerege), a dome made of poles (the uyk) and a round top (the shanyrak).

i also want to add that geographic location influences on culture even nowadays. and the fag of the republic of kazakhstan is the brightest example. there are golden eagle, the sun, and national pattern on it.

i always thought babies were born as blank slates and the parents molded and taught them gender roles, etc.  i had two boys. we didn't allow guns in the house. we didn't talk about them, just basically ignored their existence. the first time the oldest got some lego blocks, he built a gun! we had plenty of toys and dolls etc, and he always went for the cars and traditionally "male" toys. we didn't encourage it, he wasn't in childcare, he was just "like that."my best friend had two girls, the same ages. the wanted to do the girly things when they came over.  we moved away and had two girls. meanwhile my friend had some boys. she later called and apologized for all the things she had said about my parenting. i was amazed at how different and easier girls were.  i have always been a women's libbist, and have a degree in chemistry. but i had to admit i was wrong about the blank slate idea.  my second son did have a period when his sister was born when he was inseparable from his baby doll, that he dragged around by the leg.he refused to put clothes on it, so i had to crochet a little dress directly onto the doll because i didn't like her being naked all the time.  and my older daughter insisted on climbing trees and couldn't stand dolls. she is like me, not a girly girl at all. but the older one now has a degree in linguistics and is choosing to stay at home and raise children while her husband works. they hope to get a big horsefarm someday and work together doing tourist rides in alaska.despite my women's libbist tendencies, i have loved being a mom and my kids are wonderful, so i must have done something right. my brother-in-law stayed home with the kids while my sister worked, and that worked for them.  the bottom line is that boys and girls are overall wired differently, but there is some overlap. there will always be traditionally female and male roles, but also with some overlap. the one thing we can do to really screw up society is to have quotas. the best thing to do is to encourage each person to follow their heart.
