Understanding “Culture” Culture can be understood as the ever-changing values, traditions, social and political relationships, and worldviews shared by a group of people bound together by a combination of factors that can include a common history, geographic location, language, social class and/or religion. Thus it includes not only tangibles such as foods, holidays, dress, and artistic expression but also less tangible manifestations such as communication style, attitudes, values, and family relationships.
