Understanding the Characteristics of the Iraqi Culture
Culture refers to a set of shared behavioral patterns and interactions, effective understanding as well as cognitive construct among a group of people passed on from one member of the group to the other through socialization. Such cultural patterns are unique to each cultural group and serve to distinguish them because of their uniqueness.
Cultures are made up of various characteristics chief among them being the concept of sharing. In such a case, members of a given culture share the beliefs and practices that unite them. Moreover, culture is socially constructed and hence shared among the people. Secondly, culture is learned. People learn their culture through social interactions among the members of the culture as well as through formal teaching and the media. Thirdly, culture is symbolic. Different cultures use different symbols to communicate different messages that are understood within the confines of that culture. Language is a set of symbols where people belonging to a particular culture have agreed to use as a form of communication. Moreover, culture is dynamic because the beliefs and practices keep changing with time. Lastly, the concepts of globalization and immigration in the contemporary world have contributed in modifying cultures because people across the globe are interacting every day (Apel, 2009).
