"Culture refers to the cumulative deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving."

How does Art Fit into Culture? 
Art Brings the desire of a man/Person to express themselves through emotions, culture, thoughts/believes, knowledge and life experiences. It Allows people to speak their minds and they can even Use art as a way to tell their life story.

My cultural roots: Almost my whole family was raised and born in the continent of North America but my Roots are derived from Europe and North America. Almost my whole family is Religious and Strict , family expects you to have respect and to grow up to show your strength as a human being/adult. My family does not believe in Divorce they expect you to get married once and that is whom you will be for the rest of your life. In my Home , the culture is not much different either you go to school or you work my mother is a single mother so she expects my brothers and I to look up to Her and strive for our goals.
