Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, norms, customs, and practices of a particular group of people or society. It encompasses the social behavior and societal norms found in human societies, including language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music, and arts. Culture shapes the way individuals perceive the world, interact with one another, and express their identities. It is transmitted through socialization processes, often from one generation to the next, influencing individual and collective behavior and thought.
Culture can be both material, which includes physical objects and artifacts, and immaterial, which consists of ideas, beliefs, and values. It plays a crucial role in defining the identity of a community and provides a framework for social cohesion and continuity. As cultures interact through processes such as globalization, cultural exchange, and migration, they influence one another, leading to the development of new cultural forms and practices.
