Answer: Culture is a set of customs, knowledge, attitudes and values shared by members of a group.

Explanation:

Each of us is a member of multiple social groups - family, company, religious congregations, etc. Within each group, there is a set of shared beliefs, practices, behaviors and values known as culture. Groups gradually develop their own culture, based on characteristics that they have in common. In this way, trust is established between the members of a group, as well as a sense of safety and better understanding.
