Family Ethnicity
Introduction
In addition to oneself, we all come from a family where we can relate with then people and even get to learn some of our traits and values. In most cases, we continue with what we found being done. That is, whatever culture and practices we find in our families after we are born are left for us to carry on in the next generations and that is how family legacies are made. At times we come to a world where they have already set expectations for us.
