Language and... Culture?

[Bianca Montano]

I've had a difficult time trying to see how to answer today's topic, but decided to just put something rather than waste my time in a failed attempt to find the exact answer.

When looking up the definition of culture, one might stumble across the words art, music, religion, beliefs, rituals, and language (among many others). Language is one of the dominant features making up culture. Language is our communication tool and allows us to converse thoughts and opinions that eventually form our culture. I believe that a lack of strong proper language differs the culture we now pass on. Strong language is almost like the strong glue needed for a stronger cultural sense.
