What Is Your Own Definition Of Culture?

[Estellehow]

Hi! I am working on a school project about culture and it would be great if you could answer these questions. Thanks a lot!

[Old_Geezer]

The way that things are done around here; they beliefs and values that are held here.

[Mamyalynne]

Are you going to post a list of questions?

[Canary42]

Something you grow in a Petri dish.

Firstly I think of the arts and all things creative. And then I would use it to refer to the local or regional customs and social behaviour. Football is part of our culture as are beer festivals.

Where's the questions?

[Khandro]

This Estelle, is the best question asked on Answerbank for a long time, and I don't know the answer. The first question must be 'Whose?

A wise French woman, many years ago said to me, "If you want to understand the culture of France, a good method would be to look at the index of all the street names and Metro stations of Paris and research their origins".
I don't know how you do it for Britain, maybe the same method works to some extent, but I fear that just as the definition of poetry might be 'that which is lost in translation' the definition of British culture might be 'that which we are presently giving away by ignorance and apathy'.
Beware of smart-*** answers though, please come back and say how you got on. Good luck.

Thanks to all those who have helped!

It's what's left when you've forgotten all that you learned in school and all that your parents told you when you were growing up.
