Cultural Symbols 1 Question

I’m trying to study for my Sociology course and I need some help to understand this question.

Using at least 6 complete sentences, discuss cultural symbols commonly used in your family and how they have influenced you. I am Latino. Please refer to Latin american culture.

Examples : 

– mention how some cultural symbols influenced manners (usage of “bendicion” to elder family members when leaving or arriving, usage of “usted” and not “tu”)

You can mention other cultural symbols you have observed or heard of, do not specify a country.
