What I Think Culture Is

I think that culture is everything that you are surrounded by like people, sights, smells common interests with the people around you. I think that everyone sees culture differently, so it means different things to everyone, i feel that is the reason why some people agree with what is seen as 'high culture' and some don't. The way people are brought up and who they are surrounded, where they live has a huge impact on how people see culture. If one person thinks a piece of art isn't really art, and someone else does i don't think that makes a difference because a piece art doesn't have a set definition and i feel that culture is the same. Culture is what people interpret it to be. I personally think that high culture should be things that include a range of different cultures that everyone in the world can relate to because what someone in England relates to may be completely different to what someone in Azerbaijan would relate to. High culture should embrace different cultures and different people and people from all over the world should have say in what is high culture rather than a few people from one area.
