I'm writing about the culture of Chicago but would that include ethnicity? Would famous writers of Chicago be a part of its culture? I don't really know what to include so if someone could tell me what kind of things I could write about, that would be great!
 
Rob T,

Ethnicity is more a statistical term, it defines a person's race literally. Culture is what the ethnics do in their every day lives. For instance, culture is beliefs and behaviors shared by people with similar ethnic backgrounds which provides them with their identities and a framework. Hope this helps,

Andrew
