Culture is the "way of life" of people. Culture describes the cumulative influences on a group or society- their collective knowledge, characteristics and learned behaviors.This knowledge is passed on from one generation to another, and this leads to the different cultures we see today for example the Western culture, Eastern culture, Middle Eastern culture, African and Latin culture. Each of these culture is defined by their values, traditions, social habits and behaviors, languages, beliefs, concepts of the universe, food, clothing, music and arts that they compass. More over, culture is what brings up our identity.
