Culture

Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, norms, customs, and practices of a particular group of people. It encompasses the collective social behaviors, knowledge, language, art, religion, and material traits that characterize a society or social group. Culture is learned and transmitted through socialization and communication, shaping the identity and worldview of individuals within the group. It influences how people think, behave, interact, and interpret their surroundings, impacting everything from daily practices to broader societal structures. Culture can be expressed through various forms such as traditions, rituals, food, music, literature, and visual arts, and it evolves over time in response to social changes, interactions with other cultures, and environmental factors.
