A, C, D
Culture is learned through life experiences that are shared by other members of the culture, such as family members, those sharing similar religious beliefs, and people of similar cultural heritage in the same community. Culture exists at many levels, both material and nonmaterial. Cultural customs, beliefs, attitudes, and practices are not static but change over time at different rates, depending on current events, other significant people, and social influences. Culture is all encompassing and affects everything its members think and do. It is not limited to food and holidays, although those are visible manifestations of a culture, dietary practices and cultural calendars are not the essence of true and meaningful culture.
