Culture
is a many faceted concept that embodies a system of shared knowledge, beliefs, values, language, behaviours, attitudes, symbols, geography; that has a past, a present, and is both susceptible to modification and hopeful of a future. It can be metaphysical in belief, values and knowledge; physical in terms of geography and symbols; or aesthetic in terms of the Arts or Fashion. In short; it is the dynamic Mankind creates.
