  11. Culture is everything in our world that is not biologically / mechanically based. Our culture is our community, our peer group, our society, and our way of looking at the world. Since literature is about understanding other human beings, and since language is about expressing ideas about our lives, we should probably know a little bit about how language and literature fit into our culture. Some examples of culture: Traditions, customs, holidays, celebrations. Art, music, literature, dance, poetry, movies. Money, work, housing, social status. Families and kinship arrangements. Religions, beliefs, morals, ethics, spirituality. Age and rites of passage. Gender roles. Food! Marriage, sex, and rituals around dating. Jokes, tricksters, and entertainment. Leadership and government. What is culture? What does it have to do with English?
