Culture

Culture refers to the shared beliefs, practices, values, norms, customs, and artifacts that characterize a group or society. It encompasses the behaviors, languages, traditions, and social practices that are passed down from one generation to the next within a community. Culture shapes how individuals perceive the world, interact with each other, and express themselves through various forms, including art, music, cuisine, and religion. It serves as a framework for social identity, influencing collective and individual behavior, social cohesion, and community dynamics. Culture can vary significantly between different groups and can evolve over time through processes such as innovation, adaptation, and globalization.
