It's crazy as hard to define. Can someone give me a good definition? Thanks.
 
why is it hard to define? culture is the belief, traditions, behaviors, practices in a particular society or civilization.

if you're getting trouble defining that, then try defining "Trust" in your own words. ^_^
 
Easy if you ask me. Culture just means a a particular society at a particular time and place. Just like the Mayan Civilization during. 2000 BC to 250 AD
 
It is so hard to define because it covers so wide a field.

Culture is the essence of a nation of a community which encompasses its values, languages, art and heritage. It is a underyling identity of a nation.
 
Culture is something that explains/describes a particular society at a particular time.
It includes the ideas, norms, artifacts, and symbols of societies and emphasizes the meanings of these things.
