What is culture?

Culture can be anything you want it to be, I think culture can be what you choose to put in your bubble, call it yours and make it your identity. But what actually defines something as culture? I think its your choice. Culture can be what you want it to be. To some people culture is what activities you participate in during your spare time, the food you eat, the music you listen to, and the way you dress, culture is the way you chose to live your life. Culture is what is relevant to you and your life, and this can be affected by many things like where you grew up, the people who surrounded you, the media you are surrounded by. Culture is what you have absorbed to make you who you are.
