Understand Cultural Expressions & Origins for Cultural Fluency
Culture comes from the deeply shared values and beliefs that drive our experiences and decisions. Culture feels most real in its expressions:
- How we communicate and connect
- The games we play
- Our faith, rituals and observances
- Our fashion, music and art
- The objects in our home
- Our homes, cities and landscapes themselves
But culture also depends on origins: the demographic identities and the shared attitudes that result. Cultural origins are the source of meaning behind cultural expressions and a critical component of cultural fluency.
