Culture. What is it?

The world consist of different cultures. Culture is "the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively". Every race, religion, country, and even community has a culture of it own. America is a metling melting pot of cultures and we tend to adopt culture of our surroundings as well as how we were raised.

In America we have freedom of religion which mean just because I'm African American does not mean I'm a Christian or Catholic. I could very well be a Muslim which would mean the culture and lifestyle I follow is that of a Muslim American. I may also follow my African American culture. That's the luxury of living in America. We have the choice to follow whatever culture and lifestyle we want to be apart of without being bashed or humiliated for our choices.

As you know unlike the United States many countries are restricted in reguards to their religion so there  is a culture that they follow as a country. There are rituals that countries follow from birth rituals all the way to death rituals. Rituals are "a religious or solemn ceremony consisting of a series of actions performed according to a prescribed order".

Learning about different cultures is a way to gain respect for other individuals that are not like you.  Culture and lifestyles are what make us diverse as a country. Without knowledge of other cultures people tend to look down and be very judgmental. To accept other peoples life style we have to be open-minded and accept people for who they are and experience their individuality.
