Culture is the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of particular people. The way that individuals are shaped by their environments as well as social situations influences the way in which one can view the world around them.

Introduction: One’s culture is a key part of their identity. Culture can reside in a nation, family, ethnicity, a religion, etc. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “A Nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people”.

A society is a group that shares a geographic region, a common language, and a sense of identity and culture; an ethnic group is a group of people who share a language, customs, and a common heritage; culture is how people act and their judgement towards one another. Also, not many people know how culture changes or how it’s spread. In this essay, I will describe culture, how it’s spread, and how it changes.…

Culture can be basically defined as a pattern of learned behavior and ideas acquired by people as members of society. Culture was created in order to accommodate human beings in different society and establish their identity. Culture is not accustomed to one specific characteristic. It has a multiple dimensions. The way we talk, dress, eat, sleep, work and our knowledge and skills can be accustomed to our culture. These human manners are not uniform all over the place so, they change over time and space. Thus anthropologists have distinguished different cultural traditions different from one another with very thin line between them. And in the course people share, burrow and practice culture from one other. Cultural practices have become inevitable part of human being because we have become biologically dependent on culture for our own survival. For example human beings are not born with some natural instincts. In fact we depend upon the support, nurture and culture of our surroundings to survive. And by learning the cultural practice of the place we live in, we become mature enough to make rational decision and act for our own survival.…
Another reason is social deprivation, marginality and status frustration. People may turn to religion as a secure and solid source of identity, status and community, which they don’t get in mainstream society. For example, many older Asian people, particularly women, may feel marginalized in modern day society because they can’t grasp the language and struggle to communicate with people other than their own family and friends. This limits them to who they can talk to which means they can’t get a proper…
In “The Beginning of Culture” the author defines culture as a set of ideas or beliefs that is shared by a group of people.

However, religion does not always have a positive contribution to society and can encourage violence when religious believers are convinced that their view is being challenged. This can lead to outbreak of wars. This has happened in the past and is happening now and causing great devastation throughout the world. One of the most recent wars about religion was between the Muslims and the people of Israel in the Gaza Strip.…
According to the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity, UNESCO (2001), culture is defined as, “the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group. It encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs.” Our culture influences our choices and lifestyles for many years and for some, for life because some people maintain their attachment to their beliefs and a particular way of living throughout their lives.

Religion has a huge affect on culture. Culture is transmitted, through language, material objects, ritual, institutions, and art, from one generation to the next. It is noticeable everywhere you go. Religion is based on these factors to spread their word'. Holy buildings, like churches and mosques, are the hot spot to shape our culture. Language is used to teach the congregation (or similar) with the repeated call and responses and lots of long winded readings from their holy book. They obey to the language that they hear coming from the priest, from the moment the mass begins.…
In the Middle East there are fanatic mullahs teaching the masses to reject and destroy the secular modern world. How can we create a global community that can encompass such wild eyed lunacy? We can't. We must make secular democracy more inviting by opening society to the new sciences and the new spirituality with its new aesthetics. Fanatic sectarianism cannot be defeated by reductionist materialism.…
