This document discusses culture and its importance. It defines culture as beliefs, religious practices, social norms, and material traits of groups. Culture can be seen in foods, clothes, languages, and religions, but also includes less visible aspects like work, views of time, values, and nature of relationships. Understanding different cultural backgrounds is important for making sense of various viewpoints and fostering cross-cultural understanding and acceptance. The document was prepared by students from Latvia, Spain, France, Portugal, and Poland for a project on multidisciplinary flipped learning using information and communications technology.
