Culture

1. Culture is the way someone lives and their values and customs he/she adheres to. 

2. Religion, food, clothing, music, language, environment and traditions are all a part of someone's culture. 

3. Culture is extrinsic because the people surrounding someone and the place someone grows up all play a part in someone's culture. Culture is not something like breathing where everyone is born doing it, but culture is unique to a certain person making it something one must learn. Many external forces help to create someone's culture, for example someone in the United States has a different culture when compared to someone in Kenya. These people think differently, speak differently and act differently. It is not because they were born any differently, but because they learned differently. Likewise someone's culture can change, especially now when society is changing fast. This fast pace could lead to the development of new values and ideas.
