The document discusses culture in Latin America. It covers five elements of culture: religion, language, art, tradition, and social organization. Religion often causes conflict between cultures and answers basic questions about life. Language is fundamental to culture and people who speak the same language usually share culture. Art helps pass on cultural beliefs. Traditions establish rules of behavior. Social organization forms family and community structures that teach beliefs and behaviors. Natural disasters cost South American countries $7.3 billion in damages. A postcard is addressed from Shane Mahoney in Brazil.
