Culture describes a certain set of customs, ideas and social     1    of a group of similar people in a society. Geographical borders usually separate cultures. Some characteristics like language, food habits, social rules, music and arts stay    2    in one particular culture.

    3    the world, we have a variety of cultures. Cultures have been     4    from time immemorial and have been handed down from one generation to another. Cultures help people connect with each other and build communities, within the same cultural backgrounds. Individuals belonging to the same culture are usually    5    and have the same ancestral values.

Here are some reasons Why Culture Is So Important.

◇Self-realization: When we study about the roots of our cultures and follow them accordingly, we get to know about ourselves much better. We can be better     6    to our origin and value ourselves more. It improves our     7    and dignity to follow our culture. It also makes us feel proud to belong to our own culture.

◇Knowledge: Detailed study about every aspect of our culture can give us profound knowledge. Cultures never demand blind followers. Everything is well explained and accounted for in history. Studying about them will make us more    8    .

◇Meaning of life: Cultures teach us the real meaning of life. Every phase of our life demands different actions and our culture teaches us that. As we grow up and grow old, our culture holds our hands and directs us towards the right path.

◇Safeguard future generations: Cultural traditions were made by our experienced ancestors who wanted to pass on their     9    knowledge about life to every generation of mankind, henceforth, to make their survival easier.

◇    10    : Cultural traditions teach us to be responsible human beings. A cultureless and lawless human being is just another animal. Our culture and society make us be the responsible entities(实体)that we are.
