Culture

Culture refers to the complex system of beliefs, values, norms, customs, arts, and social behaviors shared by a group of people. It encompasses the ways of life that characterize a people or society, including language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music, and arts. Culture is learned and transmitted through socialization, encompassing both material elements, such as clothing and tools, and non-material elements, such as traditions and ideologies. It shapes individual identities and influences how communities interact with one another, fostering a sense of belonging and continuity. Culture can vary significantly between different societies and can evolve over time through interaction, innovation, and exchange.
