We relate to those of our own kind. Culture is a set of ideas, customs and beliefs that shape people"s actions and their production of material artifacts. Cultural ideas are expressed in the lives of social groups who articulate, express and challenge these sets of ideas and values which are themselves temporally and spatially specfic. Features that have a regular occurrence within a cultural group. Culture and cultural values, ideals, needs etc can be found in many different forms: In defining our sense of cultural identity, certain cultural traits and symbols become prominent and adopted/ promoted/ stereotyped. A language of signs and images, each of which stands for or represents things or ideas. Defined by inter-relationships with other (different?) cultural representations.
