I think you can change culture over a long period of time by changing daily behavior until the new behavior becomes so-called second nature. However, I find in myself that it is difficult, if not impossible, to permanently change basic personality traits. I am by nature an introvert who has somehow ended up in a career that forces many, many daily interactions with other people. I manage to do that, but my basic introverted traits fight to exert themselves more strongly in my personal life.

Yeah, I wonder. Culture is a funny thing. I think we often confuse other things for culture. We all might have our own personalities, but we may outwardly express our culture more.
It is difficult to tease out all the variables. Culture vs. basic personality traits complicated by the fact that we, as individuals, have free will.
