Hello fellow late night thinker!
I have no idea if this is the answer but I’ll give it my best shot.
So culture has a great influence because EVERYONE has culture, no matter who you are. It influences your life in many ways. It’s your ancestors, your family, who you are. Culture is the reason you dress the way you do and eat the way you do. Culture gives you traditions. And these are things that impact your life. So yeah, culture matters and it makes an influence on who you are.
Happy to help. Have a nice night.
