👉🏻 1: Culture Shapes Brain Development 🧠: Shaping like a sculptor 🗿, shaping clay into various forms and figures to create a unique masterpiece that reflects artistic vision. What’s your vision? What tools we need to shape our brains to help shaping a culture?

👉🏻 2: Emotions Influence Cognition 😃: How good are you in the kitchen? A chef 👨‍🍳 uses different spices and flavour combinations to create a dish that tastes good stimulates positive emotions.

👉🏻 3: Social Interactions Affect Brain Function 🤝: just like being a conductor 🎶, leading and guiding an orchestra to create a harmonious and cohesive performance that reflects the collective energy and passion of its members. What kind of a conductor are you?

👉🏻 4: Learning Occurs through Active Participation 📚: Learning without participation will not be complete. Just like a gardener 🌱, taking care of the plants and soil to create a thriving garden that requires consistent effort and engagement. Get your gardening tools, ready!

👉🏻 5: Brain Plasticity Enables Change ♻️: just like an inventor 🔧, constantly adapting and improving technology to meet the changing needs and demands.

👉🏻 6: Culture Shapes Perception and Attention 👀: Culture shaping perception and attention is like being a photographer 📷, framing and capturing different scenes and moments in a way that reflects your unique perspective and cultural identity.

👉🏻 7: Cultural Diversity Enhances Creativity 🎨: Cultural diversity enhancing creativity is like being an artist 🎨, using different colours, textures, and mediums to create a unique and visually stunning piece of artwork that reflects a variety of cultural influences.

We all can better understand the relationship between culture, brain development, emotions, social interactions, learning, plasticity, perception, and attention. We can also embrace cultural diversity to enhance their creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability in an ever-changing world. 🌎
