Culture is primarily passed on from parents to children, but also transmitted by social organizations and institutions, special interest groups, governments, schools, and churches. Common ways of thinking and behaving that are developed are then reinforced through social pressure. Culture is also multidimensional. That is, it consists of a number of common elements that are interdependent. Changes occurring in one of the dimensions will affect the others as well.
Culture is a distinctive way of life for a group of people.
It is a complex whole which includes arts, knowledge, beliefs, morals, customs, habits, and any other capabilities in the society. A person is not born with a culture, but it is acquired from the socialization process that begins at birth. Human cultures vary considerably from one another but although different in some respects, cultures resemble one another to a considerable extent. Once a culture has been learned, it tends to persist. Culture enables us to communicate with others, through a language that we have in common.
