What is Culture?

Hah! That's funny!
But seriously, I think culture is a living thing and ever changing. The activities of human beings, the language they speak, the way they react to certain behaviours, their history and even geography can shape "culture".
Culture is manifested in music, literature, lifestyle, painting and sculpture, theater and film and similar things.
Chess is a culture for example! There is certain language and certain behaviours around chess...

culture is behaviors, beliefs, and preferences that are inculcated generationally through observations beginning at early childhood and reinforced through the duration the member stays within the environment.
cultures can be regional, racial, religious, by interests, etc.
cultural elements involve language, music, food, work ethic, moral beliefs, behavioral tendencies, gender roles... the list goes on.
