Culture Culture is who we are and who we are becoming. It is the food we put on the table, the way we cook it, the utensils with which we eat it, the relations between the people who sit at the table and the people who cook and serve, what is done with the leftovers, what is discussed during the meal, what music, dancing, poetry or theatre accompany it, and the social and spiritual values of those present for when we say culture, we include visions, dreams, and aspirations of humanity. From The Power of the Word: Culture, Censorship and Voice. Women s World, 1995.
Culture, Another Definition The way of life is organized within an identifiable community or group. This includes the ways that community use language, interact with one another, take turns to talk, relate to time and space, and approach learning. There are group patterns that exist, which reflect the standards or norms used by community members to make sense of the world. (Villegas and Lucas, 2002)
