A WORLD COMMUNITY

A World Community, Knowing Societies, Cultures, and Values is a compendium of knowledge in understanding human culture and determinants which give meaning to our societies, our values, and challenges which are important to our biological and social existence. Culture refers to the beliefs and practices associated with social life. The meaning of culture is diverse and broad, and one that is not limited to media, literature, music, and arts alone. Many of the apparent manifestations of social life come to include these important avenues and byproducts of human social interaction which is creative, artistic, and expressive.
