Explanation
Culture refers to the ideas, customs, arts, beliefs, and habits shared by a group of people. It shapes how people dress, speak, celebrate, and interact. For example, Japanese culture values respect and traditions, while Indian culture celebrates unity in diversity. Culture is passed from generation to generation and may include food, music, literature, and festivals. It also means the attitudes and behaviours inside organisations or workplaces (“company culture”). Understanding culture helps us appreciate diversity and respect others.
