I hope you mean culture otherwise im going to sound like a lunatic :)

Culture comes from the latin prefix 'colo' to cultivate and the greek 'kultos' religion. culture can be defined as the social pattens asociated with any given group of people. A large part of this is the social institutions they follow and that society's norms and values; i.e. family systems, nature of government, laws, education systems, religions etc.

world culture is the culture of the world. or more presicesly the dominant culture of the world - The middle class, white West (Marxist veiw).

World culture can also be realated to 'globalisation' the action of the world seeming to become smaller through:

* Greater international communications
(politically or in technological terms such as internet, satelite communications etc.)

* International institutions
(the World Bank, U.N., the I.M.F.)

*trade and multinational corporations

*Global mass media - easier access to news and information around the world

Well, I don't know what "world calture" is. Based on general understanding, the word "culture" means "patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance" (see Wikipedia). I guess you could say that "world culture" is an oxymoron: there are many cultures throughout the world, and, as far as we know, no humans (thus no cultures) on any other planet throughout the universe. Therefore, blending the cultures of the world into one culture ("world culture," if you will) is a pointless concept because there are no other worlds with culture. Hmmm. I hope that makes sense . . .

World calture does not exist. Now world culture is a different thing entirely!

if you meant culture here is a definition -

The word culture, from the Latin colo, -ere, with its root meaning "to cultivate", generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance. Different definitions of "culture" reflect different theoretical bases for understanding, or criteria for evaluating, human activity. Anthropologists most commonly use the term "culture" to refer to the universal human capacity to classify, codify and communicate their experiences symbolically. This capacity is long been taken as a defining feature of the genus Homo. However, primatologists such as Jane Goodall have identified aspects of culture among our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.[1] Similarly, it has recently been determined that the Orca pods have culture specific vocalizations and tastes for food. Orcas used in theme parks are exclusively from pods that only feed on fish.

hope that helps x

World culture, I think refers to the diversity of cultures on this Earth. There are so many nations and people and each of their cultures is different and unique. You can learn about world cultures through world dance, which is also called folk dance. It's a fun way of learning and understanding others!
