The Definition of "Culture"

  What is culture to you?

  First let us define "Culture"

-an appreciation of good literature, music, art, and food.   

-a colony of bacteria or other microorganisms growing in a nutrient medium in a laboratory Petri dish.  

-the full range of learned human behavior patterns.  

  Well for me, culture is the body of traditions that distinguish your specific society. For example, if you speak Japanese, you will most probably be a Japanese. 

  Secondly, there is a sub-culture. Members of each of these subcultures share a common identity, food tradition, dialect or language, and other cultural traits that come from their common ancestral background and experience. 

  While all cultures have possibly many other universal traits, different cultures have developed their own specific ways of carrying out or expressing them.  For instance, people in deaf subcultures frequently use their hands to communicate with sign language instead of verbal language.  However, sign languages have grammatical rules just as verbal ones do.

  In conclusion, there are many types of culture, even in our everyday life. We might not even know when we have used them, but there they are, being with us.
