Benefits of People and Cultures Day
Culture is what we think about it as the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. Specifically, it is all about "patterns of thought, beliefs, behavior, customs, traditions, rituals, dress, and language, as well as art, music, and literature" (Webster's New World Encyclopedia, 1992). However, nowadays, along with the strong development of technology and equipment, people seem to forget and ignore the cultures from which they come. In fact, there are many activities that are being held in order to remind people about their cultures, show them how important and interesting people and other cultures are.

This day is very meaningful for students who are curious in other cultures will be able to see and learn.
