  1. Most of the people on the video see meaning of culture in the products of people's action, creativity ( literature, art, architecture, theatre, music, history, opera), but definitions that includes such aspects as style of living, relation between people, are closer to me, because they are more wide.
    As far as I can judge, culture is a very wide notion, it includes not only products of people's actions, but also this actions, this people, their attitude to this products and to other people. I agree also with a guy on this video, who said that our culture is also who we are in another countries, because we are bearers of culture of our country, and people, who will communicate with us, will judge about all representatives of our country.

  2. I agree with Lera. Human culture can be seen from his behavior in the new environment. Such items as language, behavior, clothing, and other outstanding features of each culture are individual. But if we look in different segment of the population in one "culture", country we will find, that they are different, not as different as differences between Africans and Europeans, but we can see it. My point of view is that main sign of culture is manner in meaning of style of behavior, sacramental that came from ancestors and saves from generration to generation. We can learn language, copy behavior, body language, but we can not copy and reproduce sacramental with that meaning and thrill that was includet in it by carrier of culture.
