Understanding Culture

Culture is a rich, multifaceted concept at the heart of the human experience. It's the shared tapestry of beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and traditions that define a group or society. We learn and transmit culture through our families, communities, and interactions, shaping how we see the world and connect with each other. Culture provides a sense of identity, belonging, and purpose, profoundly influencing our thoughts, feelings, and relationships.

When we discuss "culture" here, we're considering this vast human experience, as well as the unique "organizational cultures"—the specific values and systems that guide behavior within a company and influence its interactions with everyone involved, from employees to customers.
