DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS IT MEAN BY CULTURE???

Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, defined by
 everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts.


The Center for Advance Research on Language Acquisition goes a step further,
 defining culture as shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive
 constructs and understanding that are learned by socialization. Thus, it can
be seen as the growth of a group identity fostered by social patterns unique to the group.

The word "culture" derives from a French term, which in turn derives
 from the Latin "colere," which means to tend to the earth and grow,
 or cultivation and nurture. "It shares its etymology with a number of
 other words related to actively fostering growth," Cristina De Rossi,
an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, told Live Science.


Many countries are largely populated by immigrants, and the culture is
influenced by the many groups of people that now make up the country.
 This is also a part of growth. As the countries grow, so does its cultural diversity.
