Culture Word Search
This culture word search holds forty words for what a people share and pass down: customs and traditions, language and dialect, folklore and the proverb, cuisine, clothing, etiquette and the heritage a family carries from one generation to the next.
The word comes from the Latin cultura, the tending of a field, and farming is still part of its meaning in agriculture. The Roman writer Cicero borrowed it for the mind, calling philosophy the cultivation of the soul. In 1871 the English anthropologist Edward Tylor wrote the definition still quoted in classrooms: culture is the complex whole that includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and the other habits people learn as members of a society.
Since 2003, UNESCO has kept lists of intangible cultural heritage, the traditions that live in people rather than in buildings. Entries include the French gastronomic meal, Japanese washoku cooking, the art of the Neapolitan pizza maker and flamenco from Spain. Etiquette changes just as much from place to place. In Japan people bow where Americans would shake hands, and in Thailand touching someone's head is rude, because the head is thought of as the highest part of the body.
