The word “culture” has
many different meanings. It could be
used to describe the excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, or perhaps it could be defined as an
integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief and behavior or also as the set
of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that are characteristics of
an institution, organization or group. Every
country or region within a country has a unique common heritage, joint experience, or shared learning. This shared
background produces the culture of a region, country, or society. The
definition of “culture” that we will be focusing on for this blog is the complex
system of values, traits, morals, and customs shared by a society.
Culture teaches people how to behave, and it conditions their
reactions. Society pretty much defines the behaviours that men and women adopt
since gender, race, age, religion, and many other factors cause us to behave in
certain patterns. Individuals do not always behave as expected and this may
cause people from one culture to have difficulty get through to those from
another culture. However, the one thing we should keep in mind is that culture
is a major factor that conditions the way we act, think and behave and due to
this, we are flexible and capable of phenomenal change.
