Examples Of Cultural Encounters In Culture

Culture is the arts and other exhibition of human logical achievement considered collectively. It refers to the collective deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, religion, and notions of time, roles, spatial relations, and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations. It is the overall attitude, customs and beliefs that discriminates one culture from the other. Culture is something that is actually transferred from one generation to another through language, material objects, and daily rituals, through institutions, art and drama.
