Culture

Culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, practices, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that characterize a group or society. It encompasses the ways in which people live, including their language, traditions, social norms, art, and collective history. Culture shapes individuals’ identities and influences their perception of the world, guiding their interaction with others. It is transmitted from generation to generation through socialization and learning. Culture can vary widely between different societies and can also adapt and evolve over time in response to changing circumstances. It plays a crucial role in the cohesion of communities and is central to the understanding of human behavior and social organization.
