And by this view we can say that culture is what your build in your life, your beliefs and experiences, like the way that you see and live it. But, in other view, it has many definitions according to different people. The Center of Advance Research on Language Acquisition, for example, says that culture goes a step further, as a shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs and understanding that are learned by socialization, it means, the growth of a group identity fostered by social patterns unique to the group. So as we can see, it's hard to define culture. ]]> 2018-09-19 12:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cecilia_persi/ois9yztp9dy8/wish/283371635 cecilia_persi https://padlet.com/cecilia_persi/ois9yztp9dy8/wish/283380670 2018-09-19 12:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cecilia_persi/ois9yztp9dy8/wish/283380670 We can learn by reading the text of that the word culture comes from a French term, that derives from the Latin "colere" that means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation and nurture.
