Cultureisacomplexconcept,withmanydifferentdefinitions.But,simplyput,"culture"referstoagrouporcommunitywithwhichwesharecommonexperiencesthatshapethewayweunderstandtheworld.Itincludesgroupsthatweareborninto,suchasgender,race,ornationalorigin.Italsoincludesgroupswejoinorbecomepartof.Forexample,wecanacquireanewculturebymovingtoanewregion,byachangeinoureconomicstatus,orbybecomingdisabled.Whenwethinkofculturethisbroadly,werealizeweallbelongtomanyculturesatonce.
