A Definition of Culture Culture is a system of beliefs, values, and assumptions about life that guide behavior and are shared by a group of people. It includes customs, language, and material artifacts. These are passed from generation to generation, rarely with explicit instructions.

Principles of Culture Keep an open mind. eg. The Blind Men & The Elephant

Principles of Culture Culture is about the group, but it does not perfectly describe every individual. Some parts of culture are outward and obvious; others are inward and hidden. Exploration: The culture iceberg
