Culture refers to the social behavior, norms, knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups.
The word "culture" derives from a French term, which in turn derives from the Latin "colere," which means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation and nurture.
In modern usage, culture can refer to:
1. The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively
2. The customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group
3. The cultivation of bacteria, tissue cells, etc., in an artificial medium containing nutrients
