Culture

Culture refers to the collective patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activities significance. It encompasses the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a particular people or society. Culture includes various elements such as language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music, and arts, which are passed down through generations. It shapes individuals’ identities and influences how they perceive and interact with the world around them. Culture can be both material, reflected in tangible objects, and non-material, reflecting beliefs and values. It plays a crucial role in creating social cohesion and continuity, as well as in fostering diversity and mutual understanding among different groups.
