 Look up definition of Culture in Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Culture is a word for people's way of life, the way they do things. Not everyone agrees on the meaning or definition of culture. A group of people has a separate culture when that group sets itself apart from others through its actions.

Different regions or countries have different cultures. For example, Japanese people wear kimonos and have tea ceremonies. Companies or other organizations (groups of people) can have a separate culture.

Anthropology, is the science of studying human beings and how they relate to each other. An anthropologist is a person who studies anthropology. Anthropolgists believe that people use symbols to communicate (express) their experiences -- who they are, what they believe, where they started. Anthropologists call this use of symbols culture. For example, immigrants (people who move from one country to another) may keep some of their customs from their old country. By keeping their culture in this way, they express who they are and that they came from somewhere else.
