Culture

Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, norms, practices, and material traits of a social group, which are passed down from one generation to another. It encompasses the artistic, social, and intellectual achievements of a society, including language, customs, traditions, rituals, and efforts in areas such as art, music, and literature. Culture shapes an individual’s worldview and behaviors, influencing how people interact with one another and perceive their environment. It is dynamic and can evolve over time, responding to changes in society, technology, and interactions with other cultures. Culture is essential for the identity of groups and individuals, providing a sense of belonging and continuity within a community.
