Document Summary
We construct a different way of living out of what is given to us by our biological makeup and nature. Kinship is a good example of how things given by nature are treated different by each culture i. e. : mother and child example in africa (will leave to die if not "worthy" or "strong enough" of living) Not given by nature; given in part by society. Biology and nature does play a role in foreign language. Above 14 years old, you will likely not be able to speak a foreign language without having an accent. Biological aspect: foreign accents always appear in the speech of people learning a language after a critical maturation period provided that the language learned is not similar (i. e. : english and german, or similar romantic languages) You can define a nation by common language i. e. : germans defined themselves as a nation even before they were established as a country.
