Cultur

Culture is a shared set of ideas, customs, traditions, norms and social behaviours of a family, community or group of people. It is the beliefs, values, attitudes and behavioural expectations a group have in common and is passed through generations.

Culture is not necessarily defined by country borders, language or religion. Culture is what makes us, our family or our neighbourhood different to others, and it is part of our identity. Culture can include traditions and customs that are thousands of years old, or simply a weekly barbeque or Sunday roast that becomes a family tradition.

Why do we need to be culturally aware?

Our culture and identity influence our brain development. Sensory data is interpreted according to our cultural learnings long before our ability to think about and understand our culture develops.

It also influences us as society. Culture is about seeking connections. It is about feeling we belong somewhere and each one of us have a connection to at least one or more groups.
