About This Quote
A culture is a set of beliefs, values, and practices shared by a group of people. The term originated with anthropologists who studied the human societies of different cultures. When we talk about culture, we don’t mean the clothing, music, and food. These things are important to those who live in that culture but their importance goes far beyond that.
Culture is something that shapes and affects every aspect of life: the way we interact with others, how we view our families and friends, and even what we think is normal and acceptable behavior. For example, some people use slang just because it’s fun and they know their friends will understand what they say. Other people would be horrified if they heard you speak like that.
So, it’s not only the words we use but also the way we use them.
