Understanding the Theme
Understanding the Theme
There is no single, agreed-upon definition for “culture,” meaning there will be many interpretations of the theme.
Culture encompasses all that a group of people does, that makes them similar to each other, but different from other people in the world, including knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, customs, and habits.
Culture is expressed through holidays, food, clothing, music, language, art and tradition. But it can also be found in quieter, everyday moments: the tradition of generations gathering for a family reunion, how one’s name is pronounced, stories passed down from loved ones about a hometown hero, values taught in a school community or on the football field.
