Culture is the set of traditions, beliefs and customs of a particular social group, and it is one of the few elements that is individual and collective at the same time. Individual, because each people have its way of manifesting its beliefs and its customs and collective, because all the towns have culture. It consists of experiences, attitudes, values, beliefs, religion, language, hierarchy, notion of time, universe concepts, traditions, language, symbols and is passed on to succeeding generations. It is determined by the set of knowledge, behaviors and way of doing things, has a symbolic character and is acquired through the partner relationships of a group.

All people have its way of expressing its culture that is constituted by material and immaterial elements. The material elements are constructions such as museums and works of art, and immaterial elements are the knowledge and values ​​shared by the members of a given society.

Culture can be divided into various kinds of culture as mass culture, erudite, popular, material, corporeal and organizational.

Mass culture are ideas and values ​​that are developed from the same point of departure, transmitted to the entire world population without regional specificity, and used to promote consumerism among individuals. This type of culture gained strength after technological advances in the area of ​​telecommunication and is based on capitalism.

Erudite culture is the knowledge acquired through research and studies in various fields, and contrary to mass culture is not offered massively for the entire population and is difficult to access.

Popular culture is related to the traditions and knowledge of a particular people and occurs spontaneously, not through studies and research. They are elements of this culture: dances songs, traditions, language and dialects, among others.

Material culture is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines the relationship between people of a given culture, the history, manufacture, and preservation of personal or collective objects specific to that culture.

In order to understand the variety of existing cultures it is necessary to look at the whole globe, taking into account the geography and history of the world.

The European countries and those colonized by them are defined and influenced by Western culture which is based on the classical period of the Greco-Roman era and the rise of Christianity, and is influenced by the Latin, Celtic, Germanic and Hellenic ethnic and linguistic groups. Today it is a culture that is seen in almost every country in the world.

African culture has as its region of influence Africa that is the cradle of human life and is important for all cultures. It is home to several tribes, ethnic and social groups. The continent is divided into two cultural groups: North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. The Northwest has strong ties to the Middle East and the sub-Saharan region has as a major factor in the culture the hard and dry environment that dictates food, dialects, art and musical styles.

The Brazilian culture is a result of the mixture of ethnicity and peoples that constitute the country since its “discovery” in 1500 by Portuguese settlers. Before the arrival of the Portuguese, the country has several indigenous tribes that had their own characteristics that differentiated them from one another. Brazilian cultural diversity was influenced by four major groups: the Portuguese settlers, the Indians, the African blacks who were brought in by the Portuguese to compose the slave and European laborers from other regions that migrated to the country.

Brazil is marked by miscegenation, and there are behaviors of the population today that is the result of the mixing of multiple groups. The Portuguese language is also an important element of national unity.

Due to the great territorial extension, different groups settled in the country and influenced the local language in different ways so today there are different intonations and expressions in several regions.

The culture of the Middle East has common and different factors, because the geographical area is made up of about 20 countries. The Arabic language and religion (cradle of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) is something shared by all the countries of the region, but the great amount of dialects makes communication difficult.

In my opinion, it is quite important during the discussions on culture to point out that there is not just one culture. Throughout history there were numerous cultures that differed from each other by historical factors, geography, traditions, religion, dialects, among others. And from the principle that there is not only one culture, it must be argued that none is better than the other and that differences between cultures do not place one above the other, only define and define those who practice them.
The importance of discussing this fact lies in the fear that the human being has of the other. We live in a world where there is a lot of prejudice and xenophobia that brings the idea that the other is inferior.
Another important point that deserves to be emphasized is that culture must be protected, studied, analyzed and preserved. Governments should protect them by encouraging them to study, making museums, and distributing knowledge about them, for the culture of a people dictates who it once was and who it is now. The fire of the National Museum is a demonstration of total neglect of the Brazilian government with the culture of our country and with our ancestors, and this type of tragedy must be avoided at all costs.
