Culture

Culture means different things to different people. The thousand year-old traditions, religious practices, or history of one's ancestors or the current values in the streets where you live can all be considered culture. Indeed, they are only some of the aspects that make up the culture in which you live. Beyond your customary experience of human society are the cultures of others. Those other cultures also affect your life in visible and invisible ways. Understanding and respecting the cultures of others is essential to building a civil society.
