Cultural Reflection:
“Culture is the critical milieu without which human life cannot develop or exist. It is represented as the vast strucuture of behaviors, ideas, attitudes, values, habits, beliefs, customs, language, rituals, ceremonies, and practices peculiar to a particular group of people and which provides them with a general design for living and patterns for interpreting reality.”
