Many people believe that culture is only applied to different groups of people or countries, for example, Native Americans, Travellers/Romany Gypsies, England, Brazil, Buddhism etc. This may be the case, every country does have a culture, developed throughout history, I also feel that it cannot only be so broad. People have been looking at countries and groups as one whole and thinking of everyone having the same culture, of culture only being linked to how they live. To me, every single person has their own culture, whether it be religion or music, to how they grew up. Culture will mean something different to each person. So, ultimately, everybody's own culture, adds up to be a nation's culture. If less and less people value culture; if people stop sharing and teaching about their cultures, people's minds will remain unbroadened and self concerned. Slowly a country's culture will diminish or simply change for the worst.
"A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people." (Ghandi)
My culture is in my family and friends; the books I read and the "cult" television shows I watch; it's in the history of England; growing up in a spiritual household and the eccentric-ness of London. It's the little town I grew up in and the places I've been.
