The binding factor that ties most if not all Caribbean people is their similarity in culture.  Culture is the way of life and societal norms of a population of people in a defined region.  Kroeber and  Kluckhohn stated  "Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behaviour acquired and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievements of human groups, including their embodiment in artifacts; the essential core of culture consists of traditional (i.e. historically derived and selected) ideas and especially their attached values; culture systems may, on the one hand, be considered as products of action, on the other, as conditional elements of future action." ]]> 2017-11-25 16:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/branr787/os5d9l0mi26e/wish/210050235 branr787 https://padlet.com/branr787/os5d9l0mi26e/wish/210058794 Caribbean culture has been affected in many ways due to the exploration and re-discovery of the region as well as the foreign influence of trade and slavery.

Slavery and Culture are highlighted in 
the video below and a vital focus is placed on the history of the Caribbean and its culture.(food, music, language, etc.) 
The importance of culture and a sense of belonging is evident in the Caribbean.   Caribbean Family life and 
language are directly impacted upon by the slavery and forced African migration caused by the Plantation systems.  The birth of Creole languages in the Caribbean as well as the disparity of languages brought about by the African and English influences can be seen in the Modern Caribbean.  Slavery played a vital role in the Caribbean as it introduced a new diaspora to the Caribbean.  The African culture was then introduced into the Caribbean resulting in the cultural presence we see today.
