Culture consists of common ways of viewing the world that are acquired through social interactions and shared linguistic and discourse practices within social groups. It both liberates and constrains people by providing norms and conventions for social appropriateness. Culture draws on shared history, traditions, and material productions that are reproduced over time through social institutions like schools and museums, with language playing a major role in perpetuating culture, especially in its printed form.
