2. Definition of Culture
The total group of people in a geographical area with shared experiences,
concepts, values, assumptions, behaviors and pattern of living, these
affairs are reflected and expressed in dances, food, language, symbols,
rituals, solidarity, ideas, believes, history and purpose, and how these
evolve with contact with other cultures.

3. Sources Aided in Reaching that Definition

4. Evolving of the Definition
1. Better understanding of the definition.
2. Learned new information, concepts and definitions.
3. Helped me in seeing the world from different eyes of others.
4. Helped me realize that there are more than just the culture.
5. helped me to became more modest about my own culture.
6. It assisted me in learning that in order to judge a culture, you must
first grasp all of the experiences that its individuals have had
throughout their lives.

5. Intrusive People and Their Questions
• Humans enjoy keeping tabs on their
peers.
• People are nosy in order to see how far
you've come and where you're headed in
life; it's a form of competitiveness.
• Suffer from paucity of self esteem and
self awareness.
• Feel reassured by 'knowing' information
about people; it validates them in some
manner.

6. Intrusive People’s Problem
• They invade your personal space.
• They don’t know when to stop.
• They can’t control themselves.
• They are so obsessed with comparing
themselves to others that their invasions
of privacy make other people
uncomfortable.
• They become annoying by time.
