From the Paper:

"Culture has been defined as "the way of life for an entire society." Based on the wikipedia, it is best described as "the set of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, norms of behavior such as law and morality, and systems of belief" present in a society at a given time. As time passes by, these components of culture change- the environment changes and the society tries to adapt. As a result, culture changes as well."
