us are conceived with an inner and outer culture. By and by, culture is a general public, religion, dressing, dialect, and race. Outside culture, is the surface, for example, attire, dialect, music, ethnicity, and even religion.

a study about “What is culture?” lead by the University of Warwick, there are around 164 definitions of culture due to the multiple usages of this concept. In my opinion, the best meaning of culture is “the set of attitudes, values, beliefs and behaviors shared by a group of people, but different for each individual, communicated from one generation to the next” (Matsumoto, 1996).
