Culture is the social
behavior and norms found in human societies.
Global Culture is a group
of human beings whose members identify with each other, on the basis of
distinctiveness measured by combinations of cultural, linguistic, religious,
behavioral and/or biological traits. This definition borrows from the UNESCO
(2005) philosophy, that reaffirmed their famous ’15 points’, namely: “National,
religious, geographic, linguistic and cultural groups do not necessarily
coincide with racial groups: and the cultural traits of such groups have no
demonstrated genetic connexion with racial traits.” (UNESCO, 1950, p. 6)
