"Culture" to me is...



When we deliberate on this, we can see that all activity of man constitutes the culture. Culture could be tradition, customs, rituals, the way we dress, language, music, art, literature, etc. But I feel those are only characteristics of “culture” and don’t define it. Culture was developed by humans through their way of life; basically defining culture as being human life's production through creativity. Their production can be learned, discovered, developed, or invented and passed down through generations creating and prolonging the liveliness of a certain culture. Generation to generation, Culture has changed and will continue to change because of the advancement and achievements of a human ability to make things. Culture determines what is acceptable or unacceptable, important or unimportant, right or wrong. People who share the same culture can be linked by where they live, what religion they practice, where their families have come from, and more.

  1. I agree with you that culture is defined by the productivity of people. Whether the production is in ideas or inventions, it is something that is passed down and improved upon. This is what separates people from other species.
