How your culture is:

example:
I live in Mexico and the typically sort of way to live is this: people are very close with their families, they like to talk a lot, they enjoy to see their friends, they love kids and also love to make a lots of partys.

Usually when a girl is fifteen years old the family makes her a big party or a big present (like a trip). The teenagers (specially boys) likes to learn to drive between the age of 13-17. Usually the teenagers start to dating around the age of 14.
Many people have a very poor education (most of all, caused by laziness and a bad public education sistem), but also there are people with a very full knowledge.
People love to hear mexican music (banda, norteño, mariachi etc...) but they also like american and english music (beatles, Bob Dylan, BeeGees, Aerosmith etc...).
They also have a lot of prejudices, like homosexual people are less human, or if a man don't have a girlfriend at age of 19 or 20 is homosexual. The machismo is common, and many people have a lot of lazy behaviors. But this doesn't mean that every person who lives in mexico acts exactly like that. Is just a way to live and the people can choose if they live in that way or not.

Do you like your culture?

example:
I don't like much mexican culture, honestly I don't like any culture in a 100%. I think the mexican culture sometimes can cause laziness and ignorance, but it also can cause great things like the love of the family and friends.
I like to follow my own self. I'm mexican and I have 17 years old, but I consider myself a human, I like cosmopolitan ideas.
Very important: The culture is just a behavior and the people is people, when I'm saying that I don't like a culture I mean the behavior.
 
Mexico needs to be more progressive..that's all. As soon as people drop their superstitions and become more educated the country will improve.
