What is the difference between cultures?
Cultures can differ totally from one another, groups of cultures are often similar however (holding stereotypes) for example, eastern europe, australasia, british empire, middle east etc.
Culture is often defined or rooted in religion, these usually represent the main differences between cultures.
Culture is usually brought through from history, contemporary culture does not usually carry the same weight or ifluence on a people. The age old things that are ingrained in society are usually more important and often capitalised on. (mothers day, christmas, halloween, valentines day etc)
