Britain has a unique, dynamic culture that gets its life from the rich mix of people who live here. Our culture is something that shapes our view of ourselves, how others view us and how we fit into the world. It includes technology, art, science, as well as moral and value systems or characteristic behaviours and habits.
Your culture can effect the way you live, dress, eat, your religion and social norms and can be enforced by convention ("good manners") and heritage. Culture filters the ways in which people see and understand their worlds. It prescribes some behaviour, forbids others, colours people’s emotional responses to events and affects virtually every aspect of their life. Each person is unique and has had a different set of life events that shape the way they experience and gather information on a wide variety of topics (politics, education, vocabulary, travel, geographic location, cultural knowledge, tradition, family, heritage, race, ethnicity, sexuality, etc).
Accepting and embracing the diversity of cultures in society raises understanding that these differences can be an asset to society in a variety of ways.
