Answer 1

Throughout my life I have been interacting with people across cultures since much of the time of my life are spent outside home. Culture consists all that beliefs and set patterns which are practiced by a particular community. Culture is dynamic, it keeps changing from community to community. I have had a plethora of colleagues across cultures. I learn a lot from them of their culture. All the conversations are fruitful and productive as we discuss openly about our cultures from food habits, language, dressing sense, singing, things we like to do, kind of conversation people are comfortable with, the kind of behaviour accepted in the society, the compatibility of the thoughts that can be shared among the people and most importantly the general mood of the people about trending issues and all. My friends are also collaborative in our discussion and conversation. I asked them about their rituals and celebrations, various religious congregation and all. Which kind of prayers and what deities are given importance. What religion or religious pattern people generally follow. Soem of them were fond of sea foods, some were vegetarians, some were non vegetarian, and some people just don't want to share their food habits. We have exchanged our own ways of marrying and celebrations and all.
