What is Culture?



Culture is in truth a way of life because it is everything that characterizes a person such as behaviors, attitudes, thinking, and perceptions of the world, as many others aspects. Hence, when talking about culture people can come out with different perceptions. What appears to me accurate of a person cannot be precise to someone from another culture. Each person has his/her own way of being and that makes the difference in perceptions. Nobody sees the world in the same way or has the same thinking as somebody else. People can agree or disagree with something, but they cannot be completely the same as others. Everyone is a unique individual and that what makes him/her values. The problem is that misunderstanding can occur between people from different cultures. For that reason, people need to understand and recognize everybody’s differences and “above all to respect, value, and prize the personhood of every human being” (Seeley, 167). In that way, we can create a better multicultural understanding.
