Culture

Culture

  • a particular society at a particular time and place; "early Mesopotamian civilization"
  • the tastes in art and manners that are favored by a social group
  • acculturation: all the knowledge and values shared by a society

  • We are all a member of one or more cultures. Traveling gives us a broader perspective, or it should. But we must all be aware that we each communicate through our cultural filters. This is why I believe that reasoned thought has such an important role in the future of mankind (and womankind). We humans need to be aware of world cultures and how they affect how we see the world and thus the way in which we interact with it and the humans in it.
