Cultural factors are various beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that make up any given culture or societal group.
Imagine cultural factors as different ingredients in a recipe. Each ingredient contributes to the overall flavor - similarly each cultural factor contributes to shaping societies' identities.
Cultural Diffusion: The spread of cultural beliefs and social activities from one group to another.
Cultural Identity: The identity or feeling of belonging to a particular culture or social group.
Cultural Norms: Rules that a specific group uses for stating what is seen as acceptable behavior.
