Harmonizing Cultural Diversity ur first question should be what is culture? Culture is the characteristic Oof a group where the rules and beliefs are shared by the group; it is not invented by an individual, but is passed down from one generation to the next. Cultural rules do not influence ones behavior, but they influence people to behave similarly in ways that help them understand each other. Culture is learned therefore it can be learned well by some people in the group and not so well by others within the same group. What each child learns depends on the cultural rules of the people who pro - vide care for him or her.
