During my high school days I was in a club called Indo-Pak. Indo-Pak is an Indian and Pakistani student organization ran by the students. There were many different types of groups in the club. We had a board which was the ones that ran the club. The president, the vice president, the treasure, and executive board. Those were the people that bossed everyone around and told everyone what to do. If there was someone who didn’t do what they were so post to do, they would get in trouble by one of the board members. Then, we had the people that would come just to socialize, they didn’t really care much about the club or the people in in. We also had the people who came and cared about the club but they were a little bit shy so they didn’t really talk much to anyone but they still were there and helped out everyone. The norms, values and symbols of my club were dancing, music, singing, religion and leadership. Dancing is a really big culture thing in Bollywood which is the Pakistani and Indian version of Hollywood. Our norms were never disrespect anyone or mistreat anyone no matter what their age is or who they are, be open to all ideas and don’t judge, and don’t bully. Our values of the group was that everyone get treated equally, no one gets left behind. If someone feels that they are being mistreated they would talk to the person immediately. The symbol for the club was the Indian and Pakistani flag put together. In the Pakistani flag, the green represents Islam and the majority Muslims in Pakistan and the white stripe represents religious minorities and minority religions. In the center, the crescent and star symbolizes progress and light respectively. The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam and the rights of religious min...
Culture is a very broad concept, including the beliefs, values, and lifestyles of people. It is an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior. It is also the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group.
Culture is a factor that shapes our everyday lives, along with being exposed to new and unique cultural aspects everyday. Being changed and having your thoughts on events differ than originally isn’t a bad thing.

Culture, the behaviors and beliefs that a particular social, ethnic, religious, or age group possesses. Whether we like it or not a culture is always going to be apart of our life and it is most definitely not the same for every single person. Just as each book has a different story to tell, each culture does the same thing. Culture greatly affects the way people perceive others and the world around them by giving a person their sense of right and wrong, we take what we have learned from our culture and then build or take away from that knowledge to help us view things in the world. As young children we begin to grow with the same concept of memories, what is right and what is wrong. Now even though we learn the same lesson, it does not mean that the material is going to be the same. If we think of different cultural aspects as different books it is easier to distinguish the varying effects that a culture can have on a person’s outlook on life.
The term culture refers to a broad spectrum of general human society that can be delineated as “the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious or social group” as well as “the characteristic features of everyday existence...shared by people in a place or time.” However, with such a vast notion that acts to give meaning to the various methods of operation used by the equally various societies and their respective members worldwide, the definition of culture can be stretched and expanded because of culture’s flexibility as a conceptual aspect of humanity that surrounds, defines, and permeates those in it. Simple attributes such as a group of people, a civilization’s geography, and a set of societal features can
