i define culture as an amorphous thing, that is, you cannot pin it down or easily define it. some may describe it as the civic rituals, institutions and laws that are distinct to one ethnic group or simply the practices that have grown over time....
a culture can be learn't, appropriated, mis-appropriated, forgotten, or spread to other groups. it can also be inherited and rediscovered....
....when many people talk about 'the loss of culture' they describe it as if it is something tangeable, solid as if once lost can never be found again.
but heres a supprise cultures change, adapt, evolve....
i get a bit tired of people saying that their culture was robbed from them.... well then, people, get it back and stop moaning.....
