When listening closely you hear and see culture everywhere. It answers the simplest questions of why you shake hands when meeting someone new, or why you eat with cutlery (or not). Culture stands for shared values, norms, traditions, and ways of thinking and doing that a group of people have in common. Sometimes you realize that you are part of a culture, like celebrations and holidays, other times you do not, like eating chocolate sprinkles on your bread or burping in public spaces (or not).
As cultural whispers are everywhere, it influences how individuals behave, communicate, think, and make decisions. It plays a significant role in our daily lives: how we understand and live it.
Although it might sound exotic ‘culture’, being part of a culture is actually something all humans have in common. And while it seems as something static, it is in constant change and you can be part of multiple cultures at the same time, like your national culture as your internal company culture. It forms your identity.
