Can anybody add to this, or expand on it simply?
It's for Thai Kids to try to understand.
"""Culture is the way we live, with the things we use to live, in a particular place and a particular society. It is all of those things used together, in a pattern, that forms to make the way for a shared life; in one culture. That life is different from other places; those other places having different ways and different things that they use to form their own different culture."""
Any additions, positive ones, welcomed.
Any others...... you know what I'll do to you! 😛

Originally posted by mikelomWe're all born into the same human race but live in different places on planet earth. We all grow up in different villages and families. We learn to appreciate different languages and traditions, attitudes and opinions, music and foods. We cultivate different gardens. That's the picture of what culture means. We respect our cultural differences. They make us strong.

Originally posted by paul1Impression was that "culture" derived from the Latin 'cultura, cultus' (with some Ancient Greek origin)
It's a French word meaning sewing or dressmaking. Usually preceded by the word "Haute"
signifying ' to cultivate'. Also always thought the French 'haute' had the connotation of high or grand.
