What shapes Culture?

 

 

We all come in various shapes, sizes, and diverse backgrounds. At our core, we all need some basic things – air to breath, water to drink, food to eat.  We additionally pursue – safety, security, and shelter.  These elements when present or absent contribute to the culture that rises from them.  The nudge in one direction or another.  When safety exists then one level of culture matures.  When security is absent then the void is filled with other cultural aspects to accommodate the missing element.
