Answer 1

Hint: Culture is the human mind's collective programming that distinguishes members of one human group from those of another. In this context, culture refers to a set of shared ideals.

Complete answer:
Familial culture is also passed down down the generations, which means it is both shared and learned. It is passed down because as a family grows, new generations are introduced to traditional family practises, which subsequently become second nature to them.

Cultural transmission is the process of passing on and teaching cultural aspects to individuals and groups in the form of attitudes, values, beliefs, and behavioural scripts.

A cultural identifier, as defined by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), is the identification of a group or culture, or of an individual to the extent that one's connection to a group or culture influences one's identity.

A cultural icon is an artefact that members of a culture recognise as being symbolic of that culture. Religious icons, such as images of the Madonna in nations with a strong Catholic tradition, can also become cultural symbols in societies where religion and culture are intimately linked.

Everyone has the right to know who they are and where they came from. Our families' people, places, and stories all contribute to the unique storey of who we are. Understanding your past can aid in personal development and well-being, as well as assist us connect with one another.

The majority of people grow up in a constrained environment (their natural environment, their family, town, country, etc.). Because a person reacts to their unique natural surroundings, they develop specific daily habits, stereotypes, and techniques for meeting their needs, among other things.


Note: We value culture because it establishes our evolutionary identity. Culture teaches us about our ancestors' ideals and gives us insight into the purpose of life. It also distinguishes us from other countries.
