Culture is a part of this World and it has been since the beginning of times. However, if you take closer look at the Earth, you’ll begin to see the broken up pieces of land. Each of these pieces of land makes up continents, countries, providences, and states. You will see how each country runs things differently from the others, and yet something still holds them together. What is it? Culture. Culture is a myriad of things that define a piece of land. It is geography, living standards, language and art, history and its people that make that country’s culture unique.
