Hi Eric,

I think culture is the learned set of rules that shape our world view, which in
turn guides us in our choice of morals, values and behaviours.  These rules and
world view are always in process, highly situational and totally arbitrary.

either that or it is a that green stuff which grows on the bread in the back of
my refrigerator, which also is in process, definitly situation but not so
arbitrary.

cheers

   Gary: Whose culture is it that promotes respect for cultures present
   and past?  I'm just curious, because I would like to join this
   culture, if they're accepting new members.  Maybe it's the Museum-L
   culture.  Oh, and by the way, what's a culture, anyway?
