3. What does Culture Mean in the World Today? “The definition of culture can be simultaneously complex and yet simple in nature. It is important to understand that an individual’s culture comes in layers. From universal identity- being part of the human species, to group identities such as race, age, gender, geographical, etc. and then familial identity (positioning in the family, effects of childrearing practices and historical family background). These levels of identity build an individual’s culture that make them unique, and yet also connected to others through shared experiences and identities.” Quoted from: http://www.claytonearlylearning.org/blog/?p=1069
