All of a sudden I found myself thinking sociologically when I was remembering the first day I started volunteering at the hospital. I remembered I was talking to a boy and a girl who were training me about marriage. She said that in her culture (in India), the girl would have her husband's name as her middle name. Then, her daughter would have her dad's name as her middle name also like her mother. It reminded me of how in Mexico, the bride would take both her husband's last name and her own. For example, if I got married with Tom Cruise ( just an example), my name would be Pamela Campos de Cruise.
This would be an example of culture shock and well kind of a culture similarity. It would be a culture shock because I did not know about this custom of another culture. It kind of amazed me but at the same time I made a connection with my own culture. Maybe there are other ways I can have my name. What would the connection be called?
