Hands Across the World
What is culture? How does culture make the people of our world more vibrant and beautiful? A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next. Culture is symbolic communication. Culture is represented by the food, clothes, music, sports and arts of that group of people.
