Culture is one of those words with layered meanings, a utility word that casts a wide net over multiple aspects of being human.

Perhaps the Situationists put it best: “Culture is the reflection and prefiguration of the possibilities of organization of everyday life in a given historical moment; a complex of aesthetics, feelings and mores through which a collectivity reacts on the life that is objectively determined by its economy.”
