Ideally, the definition of culture is kind of a collective set of beliefs, values, and norms that define how we are and how we live, and what's important to us. I suppose it's the spoken and the unspoken kind of tacit norms that bind us together as a society.
It's what gives us our identity; we're bound together by being on the planet but within that, then the specific culture related to the areas and the places and the societies we live in is what differentiates us and makes the world an interesting place it is. Particularly in this age of globalization and homogenization, it really is vital that we're aware of our own culture and the other cultures that enhance the rich tapestry of life.
