Culture is a complex concept that incorporates the combination of a people’s beliefs, knowledge
and traditions. It is what defines a group of people living in a certain area of the globe or people
who share a type of heritage. It refers to everything from what they eat, who they pray to, how
they dance, what type of music they make, their social habits, their superstitions and their set of
values. Culture, on the other hand, is a term that is not just limited to beliefs and behaviors, though
they are included. It also includes knowledge, art, morals, law, customs, and any other capabilities
and habits acquired by man as a member of society.

Tradition consists in the passing down of beliefs and practices from one generation to the next.
It can be practiced and passed down between two people (personal tradition), within a small group
(family tradition), within a community (town tradition) or within an entire society (country
tradition). Traditions can be very punctual or they can dictate the way people behave on an
occasion. Tradition would describe a belief or behavior.

Importance of culture
Culture is the identity of the nation, without culture the society is impossible. “culture is the
set of transmitted and learned behavior patterns, beliefs, institutions and all other products of
human work and thought that characterize the functioning of particular population, profession,
organization or community”10, so the only representative of the particular community or
population is the culture. Culture is the basic root of any community which gives them the ways
of life. The culture provides solution to the critical problem that is faced to community.
History
