"What is Culture" refers to the exploration and understanding of culture, which is a complex system of knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, laws, customs and any other capabilities acquired by people as members of society.
Culture is like an iceberg. The part above water (visible culture) includes things we can see like food, clothing or architecture. But there's a much larger part underwater (invisible culture) that includes our values, beliefs and thought patterns.
