Culture

Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that characterize a social group or society. It encompasses the ways of life, traditions, and practices that are passed down from generation to generation. Culture influences various aspects of human interaction, including language, religion, art, cuisine, social habits, and legal systems. It shapes the identity of individuals and communities and plays a crucial role in how people perceive the world and relate to one another. Culture can be both tangible, such as art and architecture, and intangible, such as traditions and clashing worldviews. It evolves over time, adapting to new influences and changing circumstances while often maintaining core elements that reflect the group’s heritage.
