This is not a surprising statement; we all have an understanding that many of our present-day beliefs and behaviors have their roots in what we learned growing up in our own particular cultures. useful definition of culture is: The body of learned beliefs, tradition, principles and guides for behavior that are commonly shared among members of a particular group.
