Culture and traditions play a significant role in shaping people's reactions to earthquakes. For example, in some cultures, earthquakes may be seen as a punishment from a higher power, leading to feelings of fear and guilt. In other cultures, earthquakes may be viewed as a natural occurrence that is beyond human control, prompting a more stoic or accepting response. Additionally, cultural norms around community support and resilience can impact how individuals come together to recover and rebuild after an earthquake. Ultimately, cultural beliefs and practices can influence how individuals perceive, respond to, and recover from the impact of earthquakes.
