Hi Ed Pablo and all other silent members,;) No worries,Ed!
I know it's been hard for you to be multi-tasking...teaching,working and being a father of a small girl,right?;) That's why I tried posting those 2 questions myself for the very first time... I agree with you that a culture is an ever-changing proccess which is based on strong ideas and beliefs. The other 3 most important factors for me are #7social customs and traditions #6 cuisine #2 language If I may choose another major factor,it should be #9 religion. In my opinion,a culture is created by people who prepare and eat the same kind of food,speak the same language,share the same ideas and beliefs and follow the same social customs and traditions. All these can be demonstrated or witnessed while attending a region's ceremonies and festivals! Any outsiders or tourists can feel a strong connection when they see or are among such huge crowds performing the same activities at the same time! A strong sense of bonds with their ancestors or generations(where past meets the present and the future)thus can be experienced through repeated rituals! That's why historical and cultural events in some ancient countries are so fascinating and draw millions of visitors! Again,my own 2 cents only! Please do share with us your own 2 cents,everyone new or old!
