Culture is an Art

This past months I was able to in a way see the overview of the different culture of people around the world. I've got friends from the different corners ot the earth and thanks to them I was able to experirnce the "in acto"of the things I learned from the books I read.

Amazingly there are many differences in the culture of the different countries but we also have many similarities. Although we do the things differently but the basic is always the same. Culture is like a painting,each artist uses different materials,some uses canvas other uses paper,some uses water color others uses oil paints,every painter uses different subjects but the product is the same "a beautiful work of art". The painting maybe a flower,or a sea,or a sunrise, or a human being,or an animal but no matter what it is it is a painting. The culture of every nation maybe different,take for example marriage some prefers fixed marriage other prefers marriage of true love. Or the simple thing if the woman would just remain at home to take care of the family or to also work to help the husband earn for their living,each person depending on the culture of the country prefers differently. Or just the simple way of showing respect to the elderly even varies. For the European they do the "beso-beso",the French  they kiss three times,the Filipinos they do the "Mano po",for the Japanese they do the bowing of head,for the English they do the curtsy,for the Americans the shaking of the hands but the idea of all these is the same and that is respect.

We have to learn the culture of the other people so that we will know how to real with them. It is part of human respect that we also consider the culture of the people around us. should r can't be naive to these future differences because many times misunderstanding occurs when we forsake our culture differences. We sometimes tend to judge when we see people act differently as we do because we never know that this is how they to the things in their country. Or sometimes we offend people because we do not consider their culture and we do the things that for them it should not be done.

Do you also see the art of culture.? Share your own cultural experiences in which you can say that "culture is an art".
