Culture is the shared “way of life” of a group of people.

It includes things like:
- Beliefs and values (what people think is right, important, or sacred)
- Traditions and rituals (holidays, ceremonies, ways of celebrating)
- Language and ways of speaking
- Art, music, food, clothing, and architecture
- Social norms (what’s considered polite or rude, how people behave in public)
- Stories, history, and symbols that people feel connected to

In short, culture is everything that people learn and share as members of a group, and it shapes how they see the world and how they live day to day.
