What is culture?

You can go look at really old items which were once used by people in a museum.

Family members who lived a long time ago are your ancestors (preci).

People who were born somwhere are native to that place.

Your culture is a part of who you are.

New York is a multicultural city because poeple from all kinds of cultures live there.

Myths, traditons and cutoms get passed on from one generation to the next.

Some cultures, like the Native Americans, have a special bond with nature.

Being tolerant means you respect (poštuješ) people different from you.

If you say you are American that is your nationality.

Many cultures, such as the Native Americans, organise themselves into communities known as tribes.

The culture we inherit from our ancestors is our heritage (baština).

Traditional dress (narodna nošnja) are clothing items which people traditionally wear in a certain culture.

All cultures have specific monuments (spomenike) which belong to them, for example the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

The language people speak is big part of their identity, be it English, Croatian, Swahili or Mandarin.

People who study human history are called historians (povjesničari).

In Croatia we have special instruments with which we play traditional music.

We promote equality (jednakost) between men and women.

If people of different nationalities, religions and races all live together in one town that town is multicultural.

It is good to be proud of one's culture.

Myths are old stories that can be about gods, kings or heroes.
