Culture

Culture refers to the set of shared beliefs, values, norms, customs, and practices that characterize a group or society. It encompasses the arts, language, religion, cuisine, social habits, and traditions that define a community’s identity. Culture shapes how individuals interact with one another and their environment, influencing behaviors, worldviews, and social structures. It is transmitted through socialization and can evolve over time as societies change and adapt to new influences. Culture also plays a crucial role in forming group solidarity and individuality, as it helps individuals understand their place within a larger social framework.
