What do we mean by culture? 
Culture consists of the beliefs, behaviors, 
objects, and other characteristics common to 
the members of a particular group or society. 
Through culture, people and groups define 
themselves, conform to society's shared 
values, and contribute to society. Thus, culture 
includes many societal aspects: language, 
customs, values, norms, mores, rules, tools, 
technologies, products, organizations, and 
institutions. (source: Bukisa.com)
