The Cultural Experience

In communities, people are practicing a common ownership of a particular area or location in the context of social values and responsibilities, religion, race, profession, and join together with common characteristics. Communities share culture. Culture is defined as the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. Culture is a refined understanding or appreciation of the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group. Inside the walls of our individual communities we share experiences. Experience is practical contact with and observation of facts or events. And communities that are united with various cultures and have experiences with one another share together. A shared experience happens when a part or portion of a group of contributing people observe events together. When that happens, relationships are developed. And developing intimate relationships with individuals or groups allows us to collectively mature our knowledge of one another. We as neighbors, have the opportunity to learn from one another and support each other in ways that can positively reflect inside the community. Understanding uniqueness and similarities inside communities are vital. Let us journey together and share our life experiences with one another. Let’s introduce ourselves to the cultural differences that unite and separate us all.
