CONTENT ELABORATION
Culture is the learned behavior of a group of people, which includes their belief systems, languages, social relationships, institutions, and organizations, and their material goods such as food, clothing, buildings, tools, and machines.
Basic human needs of food, clothing, shelter, language, and artistic expression are met in a variety of ways that are shaped by the culture.
Cultural practices (ways of life that are unique to the inhabitants of a particular area) tend to change over time as technology advances. For example, in North America, horses were used to plow agricultural fields, but tractors are widely used today.
